  • Yes, I actually have, depression and anxiety are not an inherent trait like Autism or ADHD, they are linked to our circumstances, environment and perspectives of ourselves and our outlook on the world’s conditions.

    Sometimes circumstances change and I may get depressed for a few months, but it is not a looming and endless depression like it was before.

    Stabilizing your financial life and having good friends are for me the starting point to cure yourself, and also seeing a psychiatrist helps, but I wouldn’t recommend going on hard antidepressants as they don’t do much to get yourself out of your depressive situation.

    For me, having communist China rise in the world stage made my outlook on the world’s future much better, the Chinese don’t share the western doomer culture of the world ending and are very optimistic of their future.

    And in a personal level, getting to know myself more, building better relationships and earning some money did the trick.

    I didn’t even started doing sports or going to the gym, which can boost your recovery, if I did those things, I’d be much better off.

    Taking ADHD medications also helped, as before I was unable to “do things” and being able to do things reduces my anxiety and depression greatly.

    When did a convoy of tanks ever stop because of one person? I asked claude and it said there are no historical records on this, the only time a tank ever stopped was in this case.

    claude previously said this was not a show of chinese mercy, but after pointing that out it said “hmm good point” lol

    If it was so easy to stop tanks, there would be no wars, imagine if a single iraqi could stop the US invasion (or a single american citizen in Iraq), or if a single ukranian could stop russia, or even a single russian that is not ok with the war

    Tank Man should be a symbol of how peaceful the Chinese are, no tanks from almost any other country would ever have stopped. Hell, in South America the military police drives over innocent people with their huge ass semi tank SUVs all the time.

    Well, at least global south countries are gonna have to choose between them or play both sides at best to survive the foereseeable future, so at least in some instances it does matter.

    What will Nigeria choose? Chinese or US exports, loans, cultural influence etc

    No country can be fully independent from the world around, so they do have to choose allies and foes.
