RantThis is a bit of a rant before I head off to bed but please consider this a comraderadely reminder: Any so-called communist who starts pivoting to this kind of punching down rhetoric should give a MASSIVE :hitler-particles: vibe.

I'm not backing down from that, there's a reason fascists are most successful when coopting class war rhetoric. Once you lack basic solidarity with people your class consciousness is chipped away like a Welsh stonemason chips away at slate.

As someone who has severe truama from self-diagnosis, I have to say self-diagnosis is not a good idea and i highly discourage it. Even if you have expertise you will not fully be able to understand things from your own perspective cause pesronal bias exists. and the more ocmplicated the condition is the worse of an idea it is. I read a study once that tested people who self-daigonsed themselves with autism for autism. Only 20% got diagnosed with autism after assessment. Self-diagnosing and presenting yourself as having something you do not have can also cause lots of wider social issues. It's wild to me so amny peopel support self-diagnosis like this when it's so widely considered to be a bad thing by medicine and science. To be clear ther eis a difference between self-diagnosis and saying you suspect you have x disorder though. There is a reason doctors aren't allowed ot diagnose thmeselves. It's wild to me that people on the internet think that not only can they do that but htey can do it better than professionals who use psychometric testing among other things to diagnose these conditions.
