    Being neurodivergent exposes you to a very evil side of capitalism.

    It shows you how conditional our freedom is. It shows you just how little of a human society sees you as.

    You can be a good person. You can be skilled. You can be smart. But if it’s not in the way they want, you might as well be dead.

      Well put.

      This is also why “Operation T4” the killings of neurodivergents are so essential to my antifascism. The usefulness can and does decide about who is allowed to life and die. The continuity of exclusion of us from after the war to today, through society, schools, “institutions” (read prisons prison ) is a continuity to today. A diagnosis was often the legitimization to use force to remove you more from society than you were before.

      It got a bit better, but just as our feathery comrade says, it still remains extremely conditional.
