When I run into this video, I thought they were making a bit, then they doubled and tripled down on this shit take.

modern society causes autism, autism is just what happens to your brain when you grow up without going outside or having friends you watch cartoons like my little pony friendship is magic and go into Google at 12 and find pornography of it your brain chemistry is rewired and the rest of your life your drawing imitations of the stuff that you saw imprinted on to your mind as a child. I think that autism is caused by environmental factors."

Vaush unironically thinks you can exercise your way out of ASD and ADHD.

I don't follow Vaush but his videos pop-up into my recommendations now and then so I might play them as background noise when gaming sometimes. Today I find out that's they're just like Musk in this regard; they sound knowledgeable on subjects I personally don't know much about (US politics), but when they decide to be confidently utterly wrong about things I know about, that's when I know they've been full of shit on everything.

Holy shit that take was legit infuriating.

Autism and ADHD are not mental illnesses, they're learning disabilities (technically ADHD is classified as an OHI, but that's not the point). Depression, BPD, Schizophrenia, and anxiety are mental illnesses. And while yes, chronic online usage may negatively affect some of the illnesses, they are not caused by online use and can not be transmitted over the internet. Online use does not cause or worsen disabilities.

Everyone should cut back on online usage. But not because of some ableist rhetoric from someone misunderstanding psychiatric advice, as well as someone who doesn't know the difference between a disability and a mental illness. You are comparing apples to oranges.

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com
