Undercurrent?!
This is a prime example of how the MSM serves and normalises fascism for its owners benefit.
So.. Be as bad as they are to people trying to escape fascism?

No worries, I had a feeling that was the image you were thinking about 😂
This is a really cool idea, looking forward to getting to know the mods!
Also feel a little obligated to reciprocate lol (E: and a little embarrassed now that I realise I'm literally the only non-mod who did so I'm deleting my little introduction, ignore me 😬)
Like I know some people consider non-binary an umbrella term that trans exists within.
As far as I'm aware, it's the opposite, I think this image illustrates it very well:
Came here to say sounds like POTS.
Hope you get the diagnosis and the help you need op!
Seriously, I know it's tempting because most of us have no other options available, but please - be careful when you trust your mental health to one of these "drive through" therapists (if they even are that, I remember a story a little while ago about how the apps don't actually vet the therapists and their credentials, and I'm also certain that a bunch of them are now simply AI. As well as, of course, their being for profit and having access to your most personal and sensitive data and information), especially if you have an actual mental health illness and or are otherwise neurodiverse. Believe me when I tell you that in some cases no therapy is better than bad therapy (that doesn't mean you stop looking for the right kind of help, but settling for the wrong kind can do a lot of damage both short and long term).
I sure am grateful for how easy it is to avoid porn on lemmy, may that continue to be the case with the certain upcoming influx of it.
Obligatory "they lack the warmth and depth.."

As Labour touts more brutal cuts to benefits, how is this different from life under the Tories?
It isn't, just like we said it wouldn't be before the election, when the cultists refused to listen.
Keith and his cronies are nothing but establishment serving placeholders and future scapegoats for the right to blame for all the ills of society and come back in stronger and more fascist than ever. And when that happens, the cultists will act all surprised and bewildered again because they simply refuse to hear anything that contradicts their deep indoctrination in to passive compliance with the rules.
As for
There may be no nasty impulse to punish ‘skivers’
If you genuinely believe that, you're not been paying any attention, or are completely oblivious to the masses of ableist and classist dog whistles they've been using all along.
Is it really a wonder why we get so much more frustrated with liberals who insist on playing along and cooperating with the system, insisting they care about society and its most vulnerable (to stroke their own egos) while refusing to listen to our warnings (again, to stroke their own egos, after all, they still see us as beneath them), than we are with those who are at least honest about throwing us under the bus? Once again MLK's quote about white moderates being a bigger barrier to equity than the KKK are proves its depressing accuracy.

I'm assuming this post was made by an American, and laws might vary where you are, but the point remains the same in every country: the cops are there to serve the state, not you, and they will not hesitate for a second to lie to you and pretend to be on your side to get what they need.
Don't trust them, don't believe them, don't confide in them, don't make their job of oppressing the working class easier.

Thanks for the added info, it sucks to know but isn't surprising, but nowhere do I (or anyone else I can see E: aside from the single mention in the AP post that OP is commenting on, obviously) give props or even mention greyhound.
