also totally false equivalence between tech people saying "it's ok to have adhd" vs the much more severe problem of someone who's been immersed in a deeply paranoid media environment for like 10 years

yeah it's tough there's def a balance between the urge to live up to ideals of compassion and the urge to like, meme as an outlet lol but idk i'm pretty over contrarian types weaponizing "compassion" when it suits them and being distinctly uncompassionate in everything else
