@JackK490113@NewPerspectives I'm not talking about the rich, I'm talking about billionaires.
Calling anyone a parasite is (or should be) hyperbole. I'm saying they're slowly taking larger and larger percentages of the global share of wealth.
@JackK490113@NewPerspectives You mostly just aren't saying anything disproving my point. There's one group of people taking more money out of the global pool for themselves and it's not the poor.
I have nothing against wealthy people. I just object to obscene wealth inequality.
@JackK490113@NewPerspectives Wouldn't change how the wealthiest in the world are taking an ever larger share of the global wealth for themselves and leaving less of that for everyone else. Even if they are increasing the "size" of the pie, they're doing it while taking more and more slices for themselves.
@JackK490113@NewPerspectives I more think that C-suite pay should be much lower and everyone else below them should be paid a solid chunk more. As it is the group taking the most money out of the global pool isn't the poor.
@JackK490113@NewPerspectives They suck more wealth out of the economy than they generate. Their wealth keeps growing while everyone else’s shrinks. That’s parasitic buddy.
@JackK490113@NewPerspectives Considering the billionaires keep sucking up an ever larger percentage of the world’s wealth and the purchasing power of everyone else is consistently decreasing … I’d argue they’re the ones functioning like a parasite.
@JaredLifeguard Obviously I agree with the DSM, decades of research, and the majority of major medical orgs that say they’re not the same just like how vaccines don’t cause autism and the earth isn’t flat.
Anyway, get back in touch after you’ve spent time with those doctors. Toodles.
@JaredLifeguard Not the same as being trans, so I don’t care.
I’ll tell you what though. Do what they do though and I’ll tell you. Spend at least half a year seriously talking with doctors about it, follow their guidance, and then get back to me.
@JaredLifeguard Ignoring that hollowing out your bones would kill you I’d say do what we did with the people who underwent extensive body mods to look like giant cats, reptiles, and other strangeness … and just mind my own business. Also those are all very different things than being trans.
@JaredLifeguard@SoftboiiConnor@mysticatMEWO And taking cross sex hormones if you’re trans isn’t doing anything the person doesn’t want.
Moral of the story here … be honest with your doctors to get accurate care.
@JackieBartender It’s also worth mentioning that being trans isn’t a mental illness in the DSM. It’s gender dysphoria that is. Not that I imagine most transphobes care about that.
@RebeccaMtn@TheAmreld@AnnieSFW The author of that piece, when asked questions intended to help them diagnose their patients just lied with the intent of receiving a false diagnosis.
Lying to your doctor is a great way to get bad medical outcomes for anything.
