      I use a low dose of antidepressants for a traumatic nerve injury. These things are used for more than mental health.

      With the way Antisocial Personality Disorder is worded…

      If Nazis were in power and you said you’d be ok punching a Nazi to stop them from deporting a US citizen to a death camp…

      You just qualified for a diagnosis.

      Actually fought back? Even if it was just showing up to a protest?

      Also a diagnosis.

      And that’s just what would actually qualify as a diagnosis, they’d just lie about all types of shit.

      Like, they’re clearly not fans of due process, it’s completely plausible they’d have judges or even “law enforcement” rubber-stamping files and claiming it’s real.

      They can (and looks like will) throw any random label on anyone to justify their actions
