    I mean, that presentation is far from universal to ADHD. It’s not called “Trouble Sitting Still Disorder”, it’s got a name that succinctly references the most common symptoms, like… deficit in attention, and hyperactivity. Is that universal to and a full description of all presentations? No, but this is true of basically all complex disorders.



  • There’s a very good novel called Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, set ~1940, if you’ve not heard of it. It’s a long read, but the gist is - The American dream was not a thing, it was just that, a dream. Of Mice and Men had a similar theme.

    People in America have been ever more under the thumb of the capitalist machine, which has always been extremely wasteful and punitive on the working class, even high corporate tax and state investment didn’t fix the issue, just ameliorated it a bit for some - neoliberalism is just another expression of the same fundamental problem.

    And, as a European, oligarchs are a very prominent part of the ruling class, we’re just like, 95% ruled by rich people as opposed to America’s 98%. I’m a little shocked to hear you claim otherwise.
