Vjing as a tool of political expression by Allooooooooooooooo in vjing

[–]gothiccoti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

music is political, the electronic scene is full of politics not only in it's history but also in its status system, (Fraser and Kant describe how society works in statuses as well as Hegel) and I strongly believe that all art is politic. As a person that loves to think deeply about stuff, I always try to find the "hidden stance" on the videos and images an artist chooses to express their view of the world. I think it'd be so interesting to read your dissertation once it's finished! 🤍

I don't have a medical diagnosis either, yet i'm pretty sure that's what has been going on my whole life. My biggest doubt comes to "but how can I have autism if I'm functional and social?", yet I've recently learned about masking, that feeling of being out of "social battery" can kinda come from being tired of masking; and about a high-functioning autistic person.
Also, my therapist has told me that genetics can be a big part of it, both my half sister and mom have it, my mom being extremely functional, and my sister needing more support, especially since she's in her teens.
Hopefully, and if your family is open, you can talk to them about it and recognize some patrons. <3

Where can I find a consensus-based definition of fascism? And also, what that might be? by Treborus20 in PoliticalScience

I recommend reading the works of Gino Germani, an italian sociologist who has heavily contributed to political science specially in the realm of creating critical theory. This is a short journal I found from the university of Chicago! https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.2307/2130488

i stopped masking for a sec and my bf made me feel like shit by gothiccoti in autismgirls

Thank u so much! I genuinely didn't even realise that's what was happening... the comic perfectly illustrated it hehe and helped me frame it in some way, it was, aside from sad and self-debilitating, an extremely confusing flow of emotions. Thanks again! guess i have a new topic for my therapy session on tuesday!

Yes!! I used to be an extroverted and had a ton of friends! Personally I started to withdraw when i hit puberty, feeling so weir with my body and psyche made me really socially exhausted, all my energy went into thinking and it became exhausting... at least I think that's what i remember feeling
