Chronic Illness

A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.

Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism.
  3. No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
  4. No denying or minimising challenges faced by chronically ill people. This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.

The full document entitled “Guerilla media campaign on the United States” seized by the FBI from Russian government sources, is available here: https://www.justice.gov/d9/2024-09/exhibits_9a_and_9b.pdf

If you’ve been noticing more and more ableist content online like I have, this could explain it.

We've known certain personalities have been russian shills for a while. What's new is that we now know they're PAID russian shills.

Though, if Tim pool is to be believed, they didn't influence his content at all. That means he would suck putin's cock for free which is worse.

True. I guess it's a bit heartening to have concrete and widely known proof that the huge uptick in shitty attitudes toward certain groups has not been completely organic? Some people might think a bit more critically, maybe, with luck? These people are doing a bit for likes and money, they should be way more embarrassed than they are.
