Those literally arent want any of those are
I have all of those except schizophrenia so I have to agree.
That’s genuinely a good strategy, I might use this.
Instead of:
I am a psychopath that wants to see queer people and PoC suffer for fun
Say:
I am an entrepreneur with right-wing views who sees a great opportunity in working with the Republican party
Or they can just say:
“I am a fucking cunt”
You’re boring.
Yeah, using a mental illness as a synonym fora bad person is not ableist at all.
“Won’t someone think of the people that are destroying our society?”
Not all mental illnesses are high-functioning autism-style quirkiness, things that need help, many of which makes people more of victims of violence than the perpetrators of them. Sure, you can say that e.g. the Cybertruck bomber was abused by the MAGA cult, but that won’t change the facts. All this does is downplay the abuse these people can do if they’re at the wrong place.
We can call out the abuses of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, without taking away their mental health card. They were very close to two pedophile rings, and pedophilia is among the few paraphilias that psychology tries its best to correct due to the harm these people can cause to real children. They’re also narcissists, and likely also psychopaths.
Tgis is what gets called out, and not equating disabilities with illness?
You treat an illness. It’s something you try to eliminate. A disability isn’t something that has a cure, and often needs accomodations rather than treatment.
Can we have one fucking post without american politics getting shoehorned in?
I get it’s important to you but perhaps keep it to topics or communities at least somewhat related. You know, for the two people in the world not living in the us.
Americans like to pretend the only country that matters is them
Why do people say this? I find European politics fascinating. I, as an American am very interested in what goes on globally.
I personally don’t care about the politics of other countries outside if the very basics.
If the word ‘Republican’ were omitted, that comment could be applicable in most countries on the planet.
It’s kind of nitpicking anyway, don’t you think? Almost as nitpicky as pointing out when the country of the United States is referred to by the name of the continent it shares with other nations.
Probably, though I really don’t want politics being shoved into a literal shitposting community without any prompt in the op either way. I have my own political issues to worry about over here in Germany and have only so much mental capacity for gloomy copeposting now that trump was re elected.
There is also a wide range of communities available for political venting elsewhere, why does it have to be a non political post in a shitposting community? Where am I supposed to go if not here to avoid that stuff?
That’s understandable. I imagine a large section of the user base doesn’t navigate to a specific community to look through posts, and instead just skip through the main feed. I didn’t realise the community until you pointed it out.
While I agree with your sentiment that no one wants to be so bombarded with foreign politics, at the very least the joke that user made was in keeping with the theme of the meme.
Regarding your final question, depending on your method of consuming this content, you may be able to entirely block comments by setting a blacklist of words, perhaps including ‘Republican’ in this case. The same I know is true on most applications for post titles, but I’m just assuming here the same is applicable to comments.
Either way, best wishes with the situation in the fatherland, I do hope to visit some day.
Hear! Hear!

Isn’t this 2025? Why the fuck are you calling ADHD, Autism and anxiety mental illnesses?
I’m completely out of the loop as to how they’re referred, so I’m just taking a guess at why the meme calls them mental illnesses:
I think it’s likely because they’re things that require diagnosis and can require treatment
As a dude with OCD, yep it’s a mental illness by classification. It’s something that impedes and impacts the way people function and live their day to day lives along with social difficulties due to those things.
Disorder would be a lateral word to illness, and over-explaining doesn’t categorize it but rather deliberates the meaning.
Just doesn’t sound nice to folks. Until you figure out how to manage it, it’s seen as a disease as it can be debilitating. However, lots of folks can go fine most of their life with the disorders, since it isn’t an illness unless it impacts your life.
Any chance you could tell us what they are in a way that is educational and not shaming?
Anxiety is an emotion or experience that anyone can feel, it is not the same as anxiety disorder.
ADHD and Autism are neural divergences which means that these are people that are literally born with a different brain behavior then most. It means that they are how they are.
Hmm. The first one is true if it’s voluntary. Otherwise, involuntarily being constantly redirected can be a real problem.
I feel like this really needs to be said. OCD != being meticulous to detail. It isn’t “omg this spreadsheet is in the wrong order,” it is more like “I can’t fail to flick the light swith 3.5 times when I enter a room. I know that the switch gets left midway, but that is how I will obsessively leave it. If you change it, I will put it back to everyone’s detremint.”
What about “I have depression”
Sorry bro, JFKYourself
“I’m good at following the footsteps of former presidents”
“I am very self-reflected and think carefully about everything.” (x_X)
Nice, but rather than “self-reflected,” maybe this: “I’m capable of profound reflection and critical analysis.”
Instead of:
I am a sociopath
Say:
I am excellent CEO material“Assertive go-getter”
Like a Mario looking for his Luigi…
Don’t also forget as schizophrenic: “Good at listening to multiple points of view.”
Use the left side. Ignore/sue all potential employers who didn’t hire you.
Irritable bowel syndrome:
“I’ll give two shits when most others would not.”
ADHD makes it EXCEPTIONALLY HARD for me to switch tasks, actually x_x the only time I can get ANYTHING done is when I can hyperfocus into ONE thing
I’ve been using stuff like “capable in a changing environment” and “adept at multitasking” to mean “I have CPTSD and ADHD” for years.
Wait your cptsd made you capable of changing environments? Mine did the opposite
Mine made me capable of surviving almost anything. Which is terrible. But you can spin that, for your resume.
Ah yes, I did learn i can survive basically anything non fatal lol
See?
My friends call this my “brightside bullshit” but it is a power. No matter what awful thing happens, I can say, “I know this can’t kill me,” and that’s pretty good.
…admittedly some things, you’d rather they kill you, but luckily, most of those are behind us. So! Prepared to deal with anything.
I’ll take a double #1 with a side of #2, and a couple shakes of #5 please.
😒 I am chronically late
😎 I work efficiently and well
