Capitalism does prioritize engagement and spending by exploiting short-term dopamine rushes, so in a way kinda-sorta yes?
ADHD as a clinical diagnosis though is the chronic inability for the brain to absorb/retain dopamine; a neurological or chemical issue that isn’t “caused” by behavior. Severe enough and you get to the point where you desperately want to play a video game or watch a show but can’t even press the start button 🥲
On the one hand, capitalism loves us (or our money) and wants to make everyone else behave like they have ADHD too. On the other hand it hates us and treats us like pieces of shit, even more than the general population.
Let’s take revenge and try to have a good life without being shamed for ‘slacking’. Living well is the best revenge!
If that’s ADHD, then capitalism is ADHD for the masses

I want to do soooooo many things and almost always end up doing nothing at all 😭 (being medicated helps with that, luckily)
