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.
This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.
Rules
-
Be excellent to each other
-
Absolutely no ableism. This includes harmful stereotypes: lazy/freeloaders etc
-
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.
-
No denialism or minimisation This applies challenges faced by chronically ill people.
-
No psychosomatising psychosomatisation is a tool used by insurance companies and governments to blame physical illnesses on mental problems, and thereby saving money by not paying benefits. There is no concrete proof psychosomatic or functional disease exists with the vast majority of historical diagnoses turning out to be biomedical illnesses medicine has not discovered yet. Psychosomatics is rooted in misogyny, and consisted up until very recently of blaming women’s health complaints on “hysteria”.
Did your post/comment get removed? Before arguing with moderators consider that the goal of this community is to provide a safe space for people suffering from chronic illness. Moderation may be heavy handed at times. If you don’t like that, find or create another community that prioritises something else.

Your answers made me think of this video: WKUK - Anarchy.
No offense but I don't think you really understand logistics too well. How many people do you know who make smartphones? What about GPU's? Fridges? Airfryers? Ebikes? How many people do you know who maintain the connections we have in the Atlantic so the internet works? Some of those guys practically live on subs and in several ports around the world as they travel. How are they supposed to manage to produce "help" to have to be able to trade with in the ports they visit if they need something?
Almost as if they needed a medium of exchange, otherwise known as currency.
Moneyless societies aren't impossible, per se, they're just inherently primitive.
Heres the thing though. Areas for distribution of specific goods would still exist. Grocery stores for food, electronic stores, etc. You would still have nodes for distributing goods, you just wouldnt have money to decide who gets to have things and who doesn't because frankly we don't need it. You would change production till you meet demand. So people who don't like you mention wouldn't have a harder time getting what they need because it would be like how they already get it, just without money in the way.
Like I said, no offense, but I don't think you understand logistics too well.
"Just give everyone whatever they happen to want."
100 pieces of a highly sought out thing. 10 000 people who want it.
What happens? Perhaps there could be some sort of "help-credits" to indicate how much common good you've done, and then you could offer a certain amount of those to indicate just how much you want that rare thing the production of which can not be increased? Oh wait, right, that's currency again.
Honestly... Full offense. You can't just "scale production" to meet demand. Some demand is inelastic. Some resources there just literally aren't enough to go around for everyone.
I'll drink to that. (An energy drink, but still, gonna have a sip. Not pouring one out for you though, as my keyboard wouldn't like that.)
