  • I agree completely

    I’d love to find somewhere to live that isn’t the US, but I have but one skill and ADHD is not on the desired applicants field for most emigration forms.

    …and also I am quite serious when I say that I will die before I am ever able to get through the paperwork of immigrating to another country even if I do possess skills that are considered valuable or there is the asylum potential for me to flee, people laugh or don’t take me seriously when I say things like that but if you have the kind of ADHD I do or similar you know I am simply being soberly serious, I will die before I ever get through that much paperwork. It is as simple as that, hopefullly I survive I am not being nihilist I just sure as hell know those aren’t lifeboats I can use.

    “You will do what you have to survive if you have to” - people will often reflexively say in response to me to shut down conversation about survival as if I wasn’t already doing that and the conversation wasn’t specifically about survival becoming an order of magnitude harder for me… No I won’t that is my point, believe me when I say it, I WON’T BECAUSE I CAN’T. Help me now or face the fact that this is in some way a goodbye. You are not obligated to help me, though I will not stand you being in denial about refusing to help me even as you do so with your deflections of my existential cry to details and hopeful plans that mean nothing to me because their timelines far exceed my plausible lifeplan.

    It is also frustrating how when I talk about this people so often act like I am being extreme, or reactionary or talking in existential terms that are unhelpful, and it hurts when they say it because I am not. I have lost friendships very important to be me because of the pain this causes me when friends have responded these ways repeatedly with a loving but unlistening intention. If I was where most people’s kneejerk reaction thought I was when I say these things I wouldn’t be here talking to you, people don’t want to come to terms with the fact that they are in a war already and I am tired of it. I realize I am, I am still here, for now, save your concern for the war not for me and for fucks sake stop being in denial about being in a war ughh.

    (I didn’t mean “you” as in response to you as a reply, I meant general “you” as in I am talking to the not so hypothetical types of people that have and will respond to me endlessly until I pass from this earth lol)



  • I have severe ADHD, the centrists around me will voluntarily crush me if told to do so long before things approach that point all the while believing in their hearts they are doing the right thing :)

    That is why I put my words in a public place that is hosted not in US, I know I am fucked and I won’t shut up about it because I know what this means for others already having had their futures foreclosed.

    Nah I like shooting guns, it is fun! I don’t desire to own one however because I am acutely aware of how sad of a person I am. My ADHD makes daily life a living hell, me owning a poorly thought out but final way out of that? No thanks, I will survive longer without a gun I know that much.








  • These are some really wild and generalizing claims about Iran and Iranian people and honestly you should be ashamed of yourself.

    As someone on the left in the US I want to make it clear I think you are behaving in a pathetic way and yet I would never draw conclusions about Israelis or Israel the way you just casually did about Iranians even though Israel is committing a Genocide Of Palestinians. There are many Iranians with a wide variety of views on Israel, but no… they do not desire a genocide of Israelis the way Israelis desire a genocide of Palestinians that is the ugly truth and yet even as I perceive it I know there is nothing inherent to Israelis that makes them incapable of seeing the humanity of Palestinians because I know all too well how easy it is to fall into the same awful mindset as someone from the US.

    This is ALL a choice about how we flatten other groups into simple narratives. The most important thing about leftism to me is never forgetting that.

    I come from a war-like society, I can respect the call to war when it is done out of a genuine desire to defend what you hold dear, Israel’s call to war is not a call to war it is a call to genocide and it reimagines the atrocities of US colonization reflected and reanimated into a modern middle eastern conflict. I will not stand for it, I will resist the dehumanization of all people, Iranians, Palestinians, Israelis, Muslisms, Jews… we are people alike.

    Also there is NO evidence that Iran has been pursuing producing a nuclear weapon for… decades?


  • Wait these genocidal idiots really called it “Operation Narnia”?

    wtf

    vomits on ground

    This would be disgusting if it was just a normal act of war, of killing soldiers and calling it a cute name like this to disguise how any war is a tragedy, but there is a much more serious red flag here about Israel and Israeli society, this shows a blatant disregard for the humanity of these SCIENTISTS by assassinating them and making a joke out of it about sending them to dream land. Not only is this murder, the motive is a blatant lie, Iran was not developing a nuclear weapon that is undeniable and unarguable based on the overwhelming evidence.

    If you still think that Israel and the US aren’t coming for science, freedom of thought and peace in general you are a fool. I live in the heart of this dying empire, the US, and let me tell you, they are coming for you if you are a scientist, run or fight, either is fine but pick one soon before it is too late.
