  • I don’t trust cops. Even when they are nice to you they’re not your friend, trust me.

    Have a good relationship with doctors. I have met some arrogant doctors but for the most part they’ve treated me with kindness.

    Psychiatric doctors on the other hand have never been open to hearing me. As my diagnosis isn’t one that’s officially recognized in my country. And the treatment options aren’t well developed here either. CPTSD.

    Thankfully I do have a good relationship with my primary care doctor and a decent understanding of pharmacology myself so he helps me with stuff that he can help me with.

    Teachers were hit or miss for me. College professors generally much better as they should treat you like an adult.

    I’m also white and was male presenting for most of my life. People’s perception of gender and perception of race will definitely affect how they treat you, unfortunately.


  • I tend to think of most people as being alienated by capitalism because of their jobs. Endlessly fed propaganda and given treats to keep them placated and docile.

    We’re animals after all. So I don’t think of them as shitty people but I instead look for compassion.

    That said, unless I’m working for a small business owner I tend to absolutely feel alienated at work and it’s crushing. I also have health issues that make work difficult so my relationship with it is extra alienating I suppose.

    I guess what I’m trying to tell you is look at your boss as maybe the source of that feeling rather than your fellow working-class people.

    Edit: I also live in a working class city, with strong socialist roots. So my view is pretty biased I suppose. In the sense that I’m not living in the middle of a conservative place surrounded by people with vastly different views than myself.






  • I don’t support Harris, but I will vote for her because Trump winning will only make things worse. And accelerate the climate catastrophe, which will hurt everyone who lives here, animals and plants too.

    As far as how I will get the US to stop funding Israel… I won’t. It’s a bigger problem then myself.

    But, organizing outside of the election cycle is the way to do it. Protests, strikes, not paying our taxes. Those are the ways to change things.

    A third party protest vote won’t change anything. It will just get your candidate and those who voted for them blamed for spoiling a two party election and putting Trump in office.

    P.S. The framing of your question sucks btw. For reasons I pointed out above (I don’t support Harris, and I don’t propose that I can do anything personally to stop the genocide outside of organizing with others. And, if Trump is elected, the genocide will accelerate and likely spread to other middle eastern countries, and everyone will be suffering greatly by 2075 due to climate change).
