Makes sense to be a socialist, when you’re poor, and all. As the survivors gain their riches, they get more conservative - they have property to “defend” now. They were always self-serving people

Yeah wouldn’t necessarily blame all this on people being ontologically “self-serving” from the beginning, thats liberal moralistic thinking. A shift towards cuckservativism its just an inevitable consequence of gaining wealth and property within a capitalist society. They weren’t born selfish, they became selfish after years of indoctrination and falling into a position that strongly incentivises it.

“There is no scenario in which me, with my brain, my personality, and my genetics, could be born in Haiti.”

“It’s literally impossible to be born as someone else.”

Yeah no shit sherlock, that’s why its a hypothetical. If you took this to its conclusion then you’d realize your position in life is by and large an accident of birth.

All else is just cope to avoid feeling existential horror about people in Haiti by blaming them for their suffering on an ontological level and to feel as if you are part of a great white project so you can pretend that you fully deserve your treats.

Fucking lol

“lets make everyone miserable by fucking the economy, fucking the planet, killing millions of filthy poors each year and then demonize our labor force in the media for having an adverse reaction to this!”

i get the “less educated” and “without values” part but where does depression play into the zombie stereotype, depression implies the existence of conscious human thought processes, what a shit journalist

he died alone and wasn’t found for while afterward

:doomjak: no words beyond “NO”

definitely weighs on me and subjectively gives me strong feelings against self-prescribing and self-medicating tendencies among some people

thats very understandable and such tendencies are undoubtedly harmful, may you find peace on the farm with the family

Yeah the behaviours you mentioned are a sign of a “difficult” patient (not the individual therapist’s fault nor the patient’s fault), not a “bad” patient. A “bad” patient cannot exist because the goal is a constant never-ending striving to get as close to 100% of the population healthy no matter what. Saying “what can we do, x% are morally bad so fuck em they deserve to suffer unless they become good” is neoliberal thinking and unacceptable.

Furthermore, such behaviours are indicative moreso of a sick society which tries to compartmentalize the healing of a person’s mental illness to a paid hourly visit per week and does fuck all to collectively address any compounding factors that may exacerbate their condition, nor try and help them further, outside of this relationship.

I didn’t let that broad-brushing stand unanswered, especially because the most common implication of that is “(specific trendy drug) will solve your problems because it solved mine”

Based on what I’ve seen irl and online, I’d say that such sentiments in this case moreso may come from a place of despair and suffering, not so much arrogance nor shilling of snake oil, especially if the person has tried therapy before in good faith. Not saying that shitheads and “Just X bro”-scientist roganites don’t exist though, because you absolutely do describe a widespread and life-threatening tendency especially among men, but it may not apply to this specific case that OP mentioned earlier.

I was speaking from the perspective of someone that had to live with (for a time) someone who didn’t even start therapy at all (except bragging about lying during initial counseling before dropping out of college), going the all-American route of “nothing is wrong if no diagnosis is made,” and instead self-medicated while gradually wasting away, starting to steal from me to keep the self-medication going to the point of me having to move out for my own sake.

That is beyond horrifying. My condolences.

If you want to take a specific case of someone trying all sorts of therapy and none of it working to broad-brush therapy as “kumbaya bullshit”

However, OP already stated that:

“all therapy is bad, never seek professional help for your problems” stuff, which I think is disastrous advice."

So what I think they mean is that from the perspective of the long suffering person trying out different therapists without success (not from OP’s perspective), therapy seems like “kumbaya bullshit” because it hasn’t solved their problems. Therefore, it might be unfair to say that such individuals generally tend towards pseudo scientific attitudes out of a place of arrogance (like killionaire god emperor m*sk).

MUH REAL LIFE HARI SELDON!!!

MUH ESTIMATED IQ OF 155-160!!!

headline: “Fact-Checking Is Killing Us”

liberal: “No it’s not. Facts are facts. That’s all there is. If you don’t fact check, you let lies run rampant.”

article: “the battle in today’s America is about the headlines. No one outside of a tiny demographic reads the actual articles…”

Yeah thats fair enough, did you learn/experience anything that changed the way you see reality on a fundamental level (other than what you mentioned about community)?

Fascinating, thank you for the writeup!

So how do you prepare yourself mentally to contemplate death in front of a corpse?

I studied at a Kagyu-Nyingma monastery

Thats so cool, is there any ancient and forbidden knowledge you learned there which you’d want to share with us?

oh yeah sorry meaning to say that american meat protein is literally soylent green type pink slime in the original sense. Various parts from like 9 different dead diseased mass produced animals, all of which spent their entire lives drowning in their own shit and piss, either sold whole or blended together and formed into patties for consumption.

shouldve specified I meant this instead of the reactionary use of “soylent” to mean plant based meat substitutes

Literally the cringe American soylent green nightmare meat slop v.s. the based gigachad Chinese soybean-based plant protien.

The duality of soy.
