As a but if an antidote to the pro-independence thread I thought I’d ask what positive things we’d like as a community of fellow neurodivergent people. I do believe, don’t know if it’s true, that anyone who has had challenges or suffering in life tend toward being compassionate to others too. Especially if one’s situation makes things hard to get a good paid job that allows you to get by properly, feel a sense of personal satisfaction and receive the support and understanding we do need.

Whoever gets in I’d lik3 them to see us and consider how they can help and aid us to make a positive impact on society.

  • It seems as though altruism is going out of fashion. I think that the generation who won WWII and then ushered in the NHS and social security would be disgusted with the opinions of some people in the country now. These have been prominently on display recently. It is particularly ironic that the worst are those who bathe in fake patriotism, but usually have done nothing for their country.

    Hypernationalism is a contradiction to itself as Britain in itself as we know it is entirely built by immigrants. Nobody seems to even acknowledge that there's nobody alive who's "pure British" or "pure American" etc., we're all mongrels! Get off your flag covered high horses and embrace it!

    Why can't we just get along?

    I'm unusual in that I'm about 87% southern English, I think it would be interesting for all those who go on about "pure English" to have an ancestral DNA test, I wonder what excuses they'd come up with if it were found that many of have ancestors of the nations they seem to despise? I think they'd think I'm a race traitor because I don't care where people come from, the colour of their skin, or what religion if any they practice, I'm far more concerned whether they're good people or not.

    I wonder if those who spout about racial purity and being of Anglo-Saxon or Nordic decent would feel about those few who've been here since Britain was repopulated after the Ice Age? If anyone has the right to say they're native Britons it would be them.
