I fall somewhere on the AuAHD side of things. For me two issues arise. It can take me a few minutes to hours to really feel something for complex emotions, then a day or two to let it pass. Some more basic emotions like irritation/overstimulation can be felt immediately, before I even get a chance to think about it.
I also can experience issues where a fixation becomes and emotional anchor and I have trouble processing other events emotionally. Sometimes it's kind of a coping mechanism
Men see their value as partners, leaders, and providers and also see little viable paths to be any of those things.
It's the same issues as other genders to some degree just a lot of society really doesn't want to listen to a man who's down and out, because toxic masculinity isn't just how men act but also how society can expect men to act.
Our legends are soldiers who die for great things. Workers that broke their bodies for the loved ones. Psychopath that gave up their humanity to be something important. All of which imply that just being isn't important not by itself, and again that how people treat you. Try just being, not "making something of your self", not "being a generous lover/boyfriend/husband", just being a person and people honestly treat you like crap.
The dude that fed the ducks where I lived was fucking awesome, but people treated him like he was a fucking bum. The apartments harassed him for taking care of them.
The homeless people I've talked to, almost always had the same story, hardworking to take care of a family, something took them from them, drugs, cheating, injury (and thus disability), and then when they "had nothing" they dropped out.
Everyone hears their stories and thinks the same thing though, that they buck up and do something with their lives. Never just for their sake, not because having connections and meaning in their lives would be good for them, but it's disgusting to others to not be useful.
Right. It's small, and compact, so you can fit in the bike, and quick swing to someone's Dome just about does it. /s
Violence is a method of action, some tools are force multipliers in that action, and thus useful in that case.
Don't get me wrong, hammers building houses and plow shears have done more to quietly change the world then guns and swords ever have, but guns and swords have.
You seem to think we disagree on creation of a police state or massive surveillance system being a bad thing for some reason. None of which are stopped with regulations by the states that are funding and building said things ...
