“courage and bravery of our NYPD”

shoots into a crowd because an unarmed rando was marginally rude to them (they are paid to not give a shit about this)

the fact that they are being lauded as heroes and not facing court for manslaughter at the very least tells us quite a lot about american culture

Same here, it was a shite movie with nothing new to offer conceptually and an abundance of US military bootlicking.

Godzilla to me is the fucking G-force using their goofy impossible technology like MASERs and gotengos to do battle with the eldritch kaiju, pure fucking big screen magic escapism. Pacific Rim was a better Godzilla movie than KoTM. Its just another safe neoliberal mishmash of previously tried and tested ideas because anything cool and over the top takes imagination and might scare away the common denominator.

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.

“muh high IQ”

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

third picture is the absolute territory

JAPAN YOUVE DONE IT AGAIN

Not a single nanosecond.

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.

God bless, good that you asked at the end of the day. May the invaders be driven out from the holy lands and peace restored to their long suffering inhabitants.
