He has limited knowledge, does no research and assumes that whatever he assumes about the other side is our opinion. He spends tons of time in his head while exhibiting zero intellectual curiosity, it must be exhausting and painful.

Because Walsh and people like him can't fathom that non-conservatives can have the same idea.

Also Matt Walsh: "I don't know, therefore God! Irrefutable proof!"

Sometimes i wonder if he's taking the p*ss.

He likes to think his campaign against trans people is really a loving act of trying to save delusional people from their despicable ways. That's why he feels it necessary to discount all evidence counter to him and instead cite a faulty premise based on a misinterpretation of the Swedish study.

When he talked about education I was like: dude, it's called Montessori school and it's basically anarchist educational methods. He speaks about himself as a child as if children ought to be able to make choices for themselves about their own development until it's questioning their gender identity. To have so little empathy and such entitlement to think only you deserve such things is impossible for me to imagine.

Using the term "traditional masculinity" in itself is an admission that gender is a social and cultural construct.

I have to say that he does remind me of someone who is considered a great thinker: Nietsche.

Turns out having adhd, bipolar depression and a tendency to auditory hallucinations and having long conversations with people who are just in my head can fuck you up pretty good hahaha. I’m finally able to finish high school now through an adult education program and i’m pretty exited. My life is finally starting to look up. Go away weird right wingers you’re genuinely hurting people.

Yeah, me too on all points here.

It kinda just shows you how easy it is to fall into a harmful mindset. I'd bet money that the vast majority of people are not "born bad" or whatever way you wish to phrase it. Being cruel happens either through being taught to be so or through some traumatic event you can't process and thus blame whatever group the person who hurt you belonged to. All it would take for most of us to accidentally be complete dickholes is a big, traumatic event where the person being our main source of comfort insists it wasn't just a single bad person, but everyone in whatever group they belong to is just the same. Had you not been exposed to more points of view, feeling isolated from dating or whatever could have led to you finding online forums with people experiencing the same, who could then tell you all women are the problem because Women Bad. It's easy to radicalize people. As much as we all like to think it couldn't happen to us, it absolutely can. That's how cults perpetuate. Manipulation is their thing. Getting out in the world, seeing different types of people, hearing different lived experiences or points of view is the best way to combat this. If someone says something you instantly agree with, you should assess why; likewise, if something a person says pisses you off, you should also assess that. Simply accepting X is good, Y is bad because your parents said so is a great way to be a dick by accident. Learning is growing is being better.

I went to two different lagere scholen (age 4-12) and one middelbare school (age 12-17) and a couple of uni's because I couldn't decide on what I wanted to study and had to find the right fit.

THANK YOU. If you’re so confident in your “logic” and “facts”, why not let them speak for themselves?

Please dont misunderstand my words as agreeing with map walsh, he's a massive piece of shit, and the world would be better without him. I think we shouldnt say that some brains are not normal if they're just different, it leaves the space for excluding and putting down people with those deviations, it's why we have language and words as 'neurodivergent' and 'allistic' etc., as to not let ppl with bad intentions cast some outside of the acceptable norm, and keep others in But ye for him it was just because of internal confusion between stigma he wants to uphold and personal struggles he faced at school

He has to talk about feelings and random conjectural conclusions he's come to like they're facts because he's just that insanely insecure about his (lack of) intelligence.

Actually Matt almost has a point here. Let me explain. I’ve long wondered to what extent normal even exists when it comes to the human brain. Maybe you can pin down normal with other animals, but there is just such a vast amount of diversity and complexity when it comes to humans that I wonder if there even is a normal. Is there one person out there who meets the definition of normal with no personality quirks or oddities whatsoever, just 100% normal across the board? If there is, then what are the characteristics/traits that make up this normal? Because in order to diagnose me as being outside the norm and thus, possessing a disorder, that must mean that there’s some kind of definition of normal, something I have yet to see, which leads me to question its existence. And if it does not, in fact, exist then why are we using this definition as a basis of measurement? Why are we categorizing people based on something that isn’t real? Say what you will about the metric system versus the imperial system of measurement, but we’ve at least settled on what constitutes an inch or a meter. But I have a feeling Matt and I aren’t approaching the subject in the same manner.

@@SPDYellow You're right. "Normal" implies something normative, i.e. not just the most common, but the way things _should_ be. That's why modern science and medicine uses the terms neurotypical and neurodivergent, which neutrally refer to what is common enough to serve as a baseline (in a specific place and time) and what differs from that baseline. In some aspects of personality and behavior, there is no single neurotype common enough to establish a baseline-- there is only difference.

also the idea of "normal" is stupid in and of itself. "neurotypical" is the word theyre looking for

Yeah it’s not my introversion, it’s my *anxiety* that grades me on my conversational skills!

Eh, I have no sympathy for him. It's sad in the abstract when someone is twisted into a monster by trauma and shitty societal conditioning, but so many people go through the same kind of suffering he did and didn't end up inflicting suffering on an industrial scale. The point at which a person starts victimising others, and indeed propping up the same methods that warped them, is the exact moment where they lose any sympathy points for having baggage.

I'm no longer introverted (mostly) but still Catholic (kind of a mirror image type deal lol) but I do still struggle with neurodivergence of a few kinds and I too felt a strange sympathy with the bearded bigot for the first time.

True. Medical misogyny is a real issue.

Considering that women's wellbeing has always be pathologized by the medical community, it shouldn't be no surprise, but it seems like most people are still unaware of this. Is it any surprise that mental disorders that have been historically identified and diagnosed by men would also have a male bias?

ADHD is quite literally more common in males than females. Like some things are just more common in men than women and vice versa. Same as how different races have diseases that are more common to develop than others. Different groups of people are uh... well... different.

@@YHUAN01 My reply to your comment vanished on my end, if you have it still ignore this, I'm just repeating what I said ADHD is not more common in men. There are multiple studies addressing how and why the condition is fairly evenly split between men and women, but treated and diagnosed far more often in men. It comes from medical misogyny, the difference between the social expectations for men and women and the subtypes/symtoms of adhd that DO tend toward one gender or the other. I'd link studies here but I suspect thats why my last reply disappeared, so instead I ask you to look it up yourself, the studies on the first page results are what I would have linked anyway

@@toriburgess605 It is literally more common in males. It's a 3 to 1 ratio. No amount of under diagnosing would be able to make the gap solely that wide. Even then, we recognize that males tend to have hyperactivity and impulsiveness be the main presenting symptoms while females are more like to have inattentiveness and distractibility. So there's really not much under reporting. We've known what to look for in both males and females since the 70's. Males are just more likely to have ADHD just as they are with ASD and ODD. Like, you're just wrong on this rofl.

A diagnosis doesn’t always have to mean drugs.

@@NFS305 Not everyone needs drugs, as severity can vary greatly among individuals, just like with any physical ailment. However, the way you phrased it feels painfully familiar to the people who are willfully ignorant on mental disorders having a chemical basis, meaning that the development of psychiatric drugs can help--and has helped--thousands upon thousands of people who struggle to simply deal with the side effects of their disorders in their daily life. No, option A is not the use of drugs, nor is option B or C, unless it is obvious from the get-go that the disorder and its side-effects are severe enough to warrant it. Even when drugs are administered, conservative doses are used in order to determine efficacy and look for side-effects, as they can be dangerous and addictive--just like any other prescribed drug for anything past the common cold. Tl;dr: if drugs are needed to cope with the disorder, then drugs are used. If they aren't needed, then they aren't used. Simple as.

The problem with Walsh is that he *didn’t* want to learn.

What’s your point? You learn about it in passing in an undergrad course? Who gives a shit?

@@jacoboc2244 The divine authority is a product born from 17th-century white European men.

To your first point, it's just a supreme example of his extreme lack of curiosity. Hell the *very studies* that show boys have higher rates of diagnosed ADHD than girls always state basically exactly what you said (or call for additional studies), rather than to just start drawing weird conclusions.

I agree with you regarding meds. In many cases meds are necessary in order to operate successfully in the world as it actually exists, but it's also true that the world doesn't have to be that way and there could potentially be ways of organizing society in which many people could operate just as successfully without meds.

Well said.

Yeah I was trying to comment this earlier but it didn't go through

EXACTLY sis. all of that. especially fluorescent lights i fucking hate those!!!

The bizarre kind of rhetoric that conservatives genuinely believe and use to try and legislate queer people out of public life.

It's not just wrong, it's completely incoherent*. He's going to stand up for the rights of masculine women just to attack trans people, but he also hates masculine women just as much lol. I wasn't sure if it was your edit or his but i think it was his, he shows roller derby, which is THE DYKIEST SPORT. Obviously not all tomboys are gay, but a lot of them are. And even if they are straight they aren't going to be submissive trad wives popping out babies so they're as good as dead to him too. *An excellent tag line for conservative ideology

It’s also super annoying because a lot of terfs (who probably support Matt) are super hateful of the trans community BECAUSE they believe that the trans community thinks that all GNC people are trans, when in reality trans is super accepting of GNC people and conservatives tend to be very anti-GNC.

Yeah, me exiting the binary hasn't somehow infected my cis partners and turned them into trans men. Boy ain't right.

It is especially bizarre when anti-trans people often speak of how some females are tomboys yet don't/didn't feel inclined to transition.

It does make sense and is very objectifying and dehumanizing. He basically makes women out to be baby factories and besides that he thinks that women have little purpose in society. He obviously hates women, and just humanity in general.

This is really just another trope. When he says, "we never stop to consider X" he never gets curious. Besides the psych field looking into the question about boys being diagnosed more as ADHD, educators often discussed what and how things should be taught. As a mathematician, it blows my mind how angry people get when new methods are introduced. When it comes to mental illness, we 100% can see how neurons fire differently and how glucose, neuropinephrine, and serotonin is dispersed differently between those with depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. He's a deeply incurious person that says, "if I don't understand something, no one does."

The answer to his question about ADHD being underdiagnosed in girls is simply medical misogyny, but he would balk at that answer.

I think a lot of people would benefit from revelations like this. Everyone has their own personal experience of what existence is, and it's hard to see anything through the lens of another person's experience. I had a similar experience when I was talking to my friend about how I literally did not sleep at all the night before. She asked why, if anything was wrong, and I said "nawwww, I was just having one of those days where you feel super productive, and then you can't fall asleep, but it doesn't even matter because you aren't tired anyway. I've been up for like 60 hours. You know, one of those days." She did not know what I was talking about. Something I thought was a universal experience actually wasn't. it turns out I'm bipolar. I had the same feeling with realizing I'm bi. I thought everyone thought women were hot, based on how they're always portrayed as sexy and beautiful and something you covet and admire.

Yes, it does, but it's at least as likely to lead you to stuff you don't want to believe as the stuff that you do. The algorithms of social media flow to the right. So people should not say that, unless they also have a specific site, video, etc., to give them.

sad thing is that most people will find his video and agree with it and stop there. instead of doing what you have done and actually find trans voices about the issue.

​@@milascave2i always tell people to stop by the National institute of mental healths website when I don't have the energy to explain my existence :) they're pretty good and a neutral source so folks might be more likely to take it in :)

He could’ve gotten some things right is he had common sense

I truly don't think he believes any of what he says during these moments. he says them because they're in his defense but he doesn't actually believe any of the defenses he uses. he's like an AI, formulating an excuse for himself based on explanations he's heard from others

@@toyotacamry-ho1jh if he were just some small commenter then it wouldn’t really matter but considering he has millions of subscribers and is actively doing this as a job is concerning. Conservatives follow him for guidance and is he doesn’t have his own defences that make sense then it’ll do more harm to both left and the right than any good.

Oh I haven’t even BEGUN to make people feel sorry for Matt. Wait for part 2

Did you see that TikTok of that ace person that started out with “apparently all it takes to piss off Matt Walsh is to be ace and own plushies so here I am” and he made AN ENTIRE FUCKING VIDEO addressing it?

Especially given that he clearly cares deeply about what others think about him and respond to him. I can emphasize with him but have found that my nonexistent sympathy towards him is still going strong.

@@artikulv731 I did not but now I’m gonna have to look that up.

I mean I wouldn’t mind him showing SOME emotion. Seriously I’m not asking the man to overreact or cry like crazy, I just want him to make some other emotion other than the same stone cold facial expression he has had for YEARS

I know right

I haven't heard of it yet, therefore it doesn't exist.

You're somewhat right, but diagnosing kids wont solve most of those problems. I was diagnosed w adhd as a kid, for the sole purpose of getting accomodations in school. It did do that and that is the one good thing it did. Was the education system still borderline traumatizing for me? Yes, but it gave me a chance, school would've been even harder without it, so theres that. But did it help in literally any other way that growing up ND in an ableist world traumatizes you? NO, not at all. I think a lot of ppl were consensually diagnosed later in life think "wow my childhood wouldve been so much better if i was diagnosed, i would have known why i was different and it would have been far less traumatizing", but thats just not the case for most ppl diagnosed as kids. I was still bullied for being different (im also a bit autistic btw), teachers were still ableist to me, im still left with RSD and all the other long term effects of those experiences. I should not have had to get diagnosed as a kid. I needed those accomodations, adhd or no. I dont see my adhd traits as disordered and i dont appreciate being them being pathologized (i get that some ppl do see their's as a disorder and thats fine, but thats not how i see mine, but the systems in place pathologize all of us the same way no matter how we feel about it). Thankfully i was raised by a ND mom who didnt want to force me to conform (though my dad was the kind of ND parents that takes out their interbalized ableism on their kid, my mom was the main person raising me), but that also meant that i didnt learn how to mask as well bc i wasnt forced to act NT 24/7, so i got a lot of shit at school, from both kids and teachers. In fact, on multiple occasions, teachers basically told me that they thought i was using my adhd or accomodations as an excuse for not working hard enough (i was working so hard it was damaging, and i literally NEVER brought up my accomodations or adhd, they only knew about it bc they have to as teachers). I shouldnt have had to get that diagnosis for accomodations that i clearly needed, what i needed more than anything, was a society and a school system that didnt punish me for my ND traits, and i can say from experience, that theres very little a diagnosis does for that. Also, that thing about not blaming yourself as being "lazy" or "useless" after diagnosis, is an experience ive seen a lot of ppl diagnosed as adults say they had, and im happy that yall were able to come to a place where you dot blame yourself for struggling, but you also need to acknowledge that even if you didnt have adhd, you still wouldnt be lazy or useless, there are ppl without adhd who share those struggles and theyre not lazy or useless for it. Regardless of adhd, you were never lazy or useless, you were just struggling w stuff that most NT ppl dont. Getting consensually diagnosed as an adult is usually a very different experience from being diagnosed as a kid and i need ppl who were consesnsually diagnosed as an adult to recognize that. We've listened to your experiences, now we need yall to listen to ours. Sorry, just realized i wrote a lot, i have a hard time prioritizing so i never know what not to write lol. also sorry if i sounded a bit harsh at certain points, i wasnt trying to be at all, but sometimes my wording sounds a lot less gentle than i intend. I just wanted to share my perspective, since its one thats notably absent from most of these discussions (when it it brought up its usually ignored).

@@idonotresidehere.5709 That's indeed a very important and probably common experience to keep in mind. And you're right, having an early diagnosis isn't enough, because it still leaves a child in an ableist society, creating new problems it didn't have before. Where it can help is in understanding oneself and in finding help from data and erperiences of others and in the comfort that they're not sick, or lazy, or bad, but quite normal. And mamy other things like that. And I honestly don't know if that would help much for children or how it would be to get a diagnosis as a child. I see around me that it's becoming very normalized for parents to communicate openly with their children, and being different and how the child experiences that and can deal with it is very much a part of that. So perhaps, that can even be enough for a child, without a diagnosis, until they start to wonder themselves. And in the meanwhile discussions about how to deal with kids and people who are different need to comtinue and ableism and systemic ableism needs to be addressed, so that regardless of differences, children are valued as the young developing person they are and don't feel worse about or blame themselves for being different. I think that goes for any difference and not only ADHD. It just works differently for different children and different differences. No pun intended anywhere in that sentence, I just can't come up with different words for the word different that would fit right now. I think that when people say they wish they had a diagnosis as a child, they romanticize a world that understands as well, and isn't ableist. I think that experiences like yours are very important in that. A world being ableist isn't a reason to withhold information though. It's just something we need to deal with as well. But I do wonder how useful a diagnosis is for a young child. Or for parents for that matter. For instance, you're absolutely right that accommodations should be made regardless of a diagnosis. If someone needs something, then they need it. And a child behaves the way it does and responds to certain encouragement and discouragement a certain way and that doesn't change with a diagnosis. If a parent suspects ADHD, they could try something that has a good successrate, and if it helps the child, that's great. That can work with or with a diagnosis and even of it's a child that has no ADHD, but some traits of it. So I think there is a lot of room for improvement there. And yeah, one of the first steps is then listening to stories such as yours. So I hope that that will become more normalized as well. Thanks for sharing anyway. It's good food for thought. I also hope (and see, thankfully) that consent for children (especially with medical amd mental health issues) will be normalized. Children aren't handicapped robots we have to force because they're too dumb to understand anything. They're social, complex animals, just like the rest of us. The more open we communicate with them the better they are at expressimg themselves. There is a lot of room for improvement there as well.

@@stylis666 You pointed out that diagnosis can help understanding yourself and finding help from data and I agree with that, for example, knowing I have ocd has certainly helped me a lot in that way bc I can find things that help explain and treat my ocd a lot better than if there wasn't a word for it, experiencing ocd and not knowing what's going on (funny enough, Im not actually officially diagnosed w it). Not that I want to compare my ADHD and ocd too much since I consider my ocd a disorder but not my ADHD, and I'd honestly be a lot more fine not knowing what ADHD is than ocd, but still, I think there's a similar principle there so it still works. You also mentioned that it could help ppl realize they're not "sick" "lazy" or "bad" but kinda wanna push back against that, bc like I said, regardless of ADHD, struggling w those things wouldn't make you lazy or bad. And about "sick", I can see your point if you're worried about having a real medical problem, but then you should probably get checked for one anyways, as it's not uncommon for real dangerous medical problems to be misdiagnosed as a mental illness, in the US psychiatrists are legally supposed to rule out possible medical explanations before making a medal diagnosis but they often don't. I'm also point out that being diagnosed w ADHD is, in a sense, the medical system telling you that you are sick, that's what the "disorder" in "attention defficet hyperactive DISORDER" is. But I think that leads to another part of the conversation, which is differentiating getting an official diagnosis vs just knowing what diagnosis you fit the criteria for. Like I said, I'm not officially diagnosed w ocd, but I know I have it. I've actually known since I developed it as a little kid bc my mom who has it recognized it in me and was able to help me out w it. In middle school, actually knowing I have ocd helped me when I developed more pure-OCD type of ocd, and I realized what was happening by researching ocd online, which was super helpful. So official diagnosis wasn't necessary in those situations, but knowing about it was. However, getting a diagnosis would be necessary if I want to try meds for it (which I've def considered). As for how this is different for kids, I definitely think that for kids below 12, it's not particularly helpful, but I do think that it can be helpful for the adults caring for them (like a parent doing research on how to best care for adhd needs). You bring up a good point about medical consent for children, in general, adults need to treat children like ppl and actually try to ask them what they think and want. But there were two main reasons I specified "consensually" in my comment. The first is bc many adults are unconsensually diagnosed which can have really horrible results. The other reason is bc children definitionally cannot consent to medical things, bc while kids aren't dumb, they are young and easily manipulated and often won't understand things in the same way an adult or even older kid would. This puts the parent in a hard place where they have to make decisions for their child that will impact their child one way or another. And for the child, they (as you mentioned) unfortunately are often not even asked for their opinion. But even if they are, the parent is still in that position. Anyways, I started rambling about a bunch of stuff that's not even directly relevant but your comment was just thought provoking for me, you brought up some good points. Thanks for actually listening, it's nice to be able to have a conversation about the topic without having to worry too much about ppl invalidating my and other pls experience bc they're too protective of the system in place to accept any critism of it. Edit: I also want to mention that my mom was thankfully very supportive of me she understands what its like, and she's always just generally the kind of parent who treats their kid like an actual person, so that's relevant to my experience. Unfortunately, that only goes so far when I experienced ableism and bullying in school, but being accepted at home definitely majorly helps, it's sad that most ND kids don't have that.

@@idonotresidehere.5709 _" I'm also point out that being diagnosed w ADHD is, in a sense, the medical system telling you that you are sick, that's what the "disorder" in "attention defficet hyperactive DISORDER" is. "_ While I was reading your comment I was wondering if I had mentioned it. I probably didn't. It's a good thing to point out. You have no idea how much I rambled and now deleted :p But in short, consent with children is a thing we should've been working on for decades and we should keep working on it to improve it and try and solve problems we'll inevitably face and will probably never be able to perfectly fix. And yeah, treating a person as a person, or a child as a child, instead of as their label is super important and especially with children far more important than any knowledge we'd gain by getting a diagnosis. The times I've heard:" Oh, you're so enthusiastic, that's probably your bipolar disorder." I was becoming afraid to show any emotion, fearing it would be labeled. What I think might help children in terms of knowledge isn't even specific knowledge about a condition, but that parents just naturally acquire general knowledge about different conditions and traits and behaviours, so that they at least know that whatever their child does is quite common, and if the parent has no clue how to deal with it, there are always people who have experience and/or data, regardless of diagnosis. And I've realized I've experienced far more ablism than I thought I did. I also have SPS(Sensory Processing Sensitivity, also known as HSP(Highly Sensitive Person)). It is now known that 10%-20% of poeple have it and it's normalized to treat children far differently than most people who are over 30 yo were treated. I was very often told to "act normal", "try and fit in", and things like that. I was expected to "toughen up" and that's impossible. The only "tough" thing I did was punish myself with extreme judgment for not being good enough and for being "weak". When I first learned about it people were treating it as some supernatural mumbo jumbo, so I kind of forgot all about it until recently when i learned it's actually pretty well researched now and being taken seriously. But yeah, I don't think children would benefit from such a diagnosis either. Everyone has their own traits and sensitivities. If we treat people like people and expect that they're different, we already solve most issues by just listening and trying to understand each other. I see that with many parents around me and how they treat their children. Several of them understand that their child is super sensitive and easily overwhelmed and it's normal to just deal with it mainly by communicating _with_ the child. So there is a lot of progress, thankfully.

​@krinkov7.62 your dad definitely doesn't love you if this is how to talk to other people, candy ass

You rock!

I was thinking as he described introversion that only some parts of what he was saying actually sounded like introversion. Other things sounded like symptoms of neurodivergence, depression, etc.

I was going to say this, as an autistic person. He comes across as a sadly recurrent type of autistic male person - the one where some autistic traits cross section with traditional masculine cultural traits. As in cultivating emotional distance which leads to never examining one's alexithymia. As in cultivating assertive and competitive personality traits which feeds into glitching theory of mind and then assuming everyone who disagrees with them being stupid. As in cultivating the fact that a man can reach self fulfillment by dedicating themselves to work or a single hobby, which feeds into special interests leading to further distance to those around them.

@@rangda_primeyes you hate to see it it’s like witnessing self harm imo

hearing (in my opinion) bad people talk about how they are/feel/experience things that are obviously untreated or undiagnosed diagnoses makes me feel a sting of grief for them...! i know im projecting but i keep thinking that theyd be (in my opinion) better people if they couldve accepted their diagnoses and gotten the help and support they really need

@@SebiHemke yes that’s exactly how I feel just sad to think that things could’ve been better I’d they got treated and diagnosed accordingly

Literally, it’s like a dark mirror. It’s scary how much I can almost relate to him

He has this fascinating schism where he will, to his credit, call out groypers and anti-semitism and BLATANT racism, but his nationalism still leads him to still openly disparage and spread awful nonsense about indigenous people and stoke white replacement fears. It’s so strange how he balances it.

The larger the cognitive dissonance, the less willing you are to self reflect because being wrong is emotionally painful.

Thank you for watching! Glad I could be useful!

He most definitely does.

hes been very vocal about how he abuses his kids

The argument he makes on this is 100% reliant on not looking up or making any effort to understand the legal definition of the term.

@@jeremycanning7058 exactly

And he talks about how he is different than all the other kids he went to school with, because he's "introverted," yet his collection of symptoms that hampered his success in school he writes off as being descriptors of all male people. Either he is different than everyone else, or he is the same as everyone else. Can't be both.

As someone who is also afab and was homeschooled and is just coming to the realization that I very likely have ADHD that was over looked because I was afab and wasn't in a proper education system, this part of the video had me seething. It's almost like women go chronically under diagnosed in a medical system that doesn't take us seriously, and parents aren't skilled or unbiased enough to spot a learning disability in their own children.

What gets me is how that argument doesn't work for literally any other diagnosis. It's basically the same argument as "Well isn't it weird that girls get diagnosed with Breast Cancer so much more often than boys? Doesn't that make you question the legitimacy of that medical diagnosis? Aren't they just medicalizing female breasts?" ...like no dude... like most things (including mental disorders) it's generally a combination of environment and genetics.

​@@zero-g-lemonadeI was in a proper school and still didn't know. For me ADHD was the guys who couldn't sit still and learn properly - it was just socially awkward and forgot where I'd put things or occasionally that I had an after school club that evening. It would years before I realised that all this and even getting ratty when hungry and/or tired was a different form of the same thing.

Massively agree. His entire argument was based on common stereotypes about ADHD rather than actual knowledge about ADHD. Most afab people (myself included) fly under the radar because our physical hyperactivity may be less noticeable, and our mental hyperactivity, attention deficits, executive functioning issues, etc. may not be noticed until later childhood, adolescence, or adulthood. I wasn't diagnosed ADHD until I was 35, when my (then) 11 year old daughter was diagnosed.

Unfortunately I think Matt is definitely one of those parents.

He's definitely the "I'm glad it isn't MY kid", type of parent.

Today there was a lot of protests from right wingers against lgbtqia+ and gender identity being taught in school and they brought their kids who were holding signs saying: 'I belong to my parents'. I think to say belong is not a word parents should use. Yes, it is their child but they treat them like it was their thing and the child has no rights...

It is dude!! I straight up asked my mom during our last argument if the bible was more important than her children. She said yes ;) it makes sense according to her beliefs but I couldn't ever imagine valuing anything I believe over the real people in my life. Especially to the extent she does.

@@deaddomain I’m honestly scared about his kids 😟

Tell me about it. Here in the Mediterranean people still spout nonsense about the moors and the ases when both got diluted in time. Hell using Brigerton as reference by the time Queen Charlotte was born the moors were an old topic of *500 years* by then. Not to mention referring to Anglo Saxon as 'white' when it was two tribes and one was German....c'mon. You really mean something else.

For me it's how even if you bite the bullet and engage with his framing, the first citizens of what would become the USA would have likely thrown you into Chesapeake bay for calling them anything other than "american" or whatever specific label was associated with their state, especially if that label was tied to english identity in any way

That's just true. Europeans were native Americans. America wasn't a thing until they came over.

​​​@@EPCauto2 I mean in the sense that no country had "America" in its name until then, I guess, but the European settlers of America were _definitionally_ *not* "Native" to The-Land-Now-Known-As-America.

I think he was talking about the original people responsible for building modern America (government, roads, founders etc) as opposed to the actual native people's of America.. Which he has a point kinda, I guess. The USA definitely wouldn't be what it is today. Whatever
