I’ve only been on this website for a short time so I know this looks sus im not trying to start arguments or something im just uncomfortable with something ive been seeing

ive been looking around and seeing things in posts and i would like to say that many of them make me very uncomfortable it is very common to see posts/topics idk that seem to be kind of glorifying revenge and hurting people disproportionately hatred for bourgoisie is justified but the people talking about and detailing torture make me really uncomfortable (saying things like detailing cruel and unusual punishments) because i have a hard time not involuntarily putting myself into the shoes of others even when they have nothing in common with me

ive been trying to tolerate it because i assumed this was part of what “dirtbag left” meant, being unapologetic and willing to advocate for things that are unappealing and not “civil” so become confused when people brought up the dumb will smith incident because it was just a slap, barely anything but lots of people seem to disapprove of it for being childish and immature i understand this viewpoint but i dont get why these two exist simultaneously i was starting to see the appeal of simply just advocating for “fuck around and find out” violence against the bourgoisie and nazis and obvious bigots but when the same principle is applied to others who are making ableist jokes it’s bad

it comes across as people only caring and advocating for violence against people that affect them personally, and not people who affect others negatively i dont care about will smith (rich jerk) but i don’t understand how that doesn’t apply to me. why are people advocating for violence in ways that are arguably justifiable but make people uncomfortable just talking about them, but if i were to hit someone for making fun of me stimming or something that would be bad?

was all of the wall/torture/grenade pit stuff sarcastic or is the stance that its only ok to commit violence against people that affect the entire proletariat instead of just a part? (i know will smith probably isn’t part of the proletariat i just don’t understand how him being in the wrong doesn’t also translate to proletariat members hitting people for making fun of them and family members and their own conditions)

i also don’t know how to feel because a lot of the time it’s very hard to control things that are considered violent actions i understand that as a general principle i should avoid them but in a situation like with the will smith thing (lots of people, someone making fun of someone i care about , probably lots of stress because award ceremony) i could see some kind of meltdown happening and me flipping out or doing something a lot worse, i know that’s bad, and i avoid doing things like that but also lots of people have conditions that make that more likely so i have a hard time not sympthaziing. i also don’t understand why making fun of someone to the point of self-harm or emotional harm is ok but hitting them isnt, and in a world where nobody seems to care enough to actually help deescalate (and usually takes the side of harassers if they’re “funny” enough) what else your even supposed to do? nobody taught me this and i wish they did

ok, so I shouldn’t care about beating someone up who insults a family member because “you ask no compassion from me”?

i dont care whos being tortured or killed or shot or blown up, i dont have any control over feeling empathy or putting myself in their shoes. its not because irealte to nazis its because i have an anxiety disorder, i wish people would just not post about violence if they hate the aesthetic of violence so much

You are free to interpret theory through your own lens of experiences, but I take this excerpt to mean that violence is justified against those who are actively doing structural violence against/inspiring stochastic terrorism against the working class.such violence is inherently an act of self defence.

i think my concern goes so far as that i think it’s not good to do cruel and unusual punishment

i won’t really judge anyone who does it, because i understand why theyd do it to a billionare, but i would rather we not if that makes sense

i don’t really care about shooting Jeff Bezos when it would take almost nothing for him to just step down and not keep being a tyraniccal monster

What is Neurodivergence?

It’s ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc

“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”

So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we’re concerned


Rules

1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them

2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence

2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals

3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven’t personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you’re ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another’s, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who’s experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm’d.

3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith

4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

Further rules to be added/ rules to be changed based on community input

RULES NOTE: For this community more than most we understand that the clarity and understandability of these rules is very important for allowing folks to feel comfortable, to that end please don’t be afraid to be outspoken about amendments and addendums to these rules, as well as any we may have missed
