Americrackers and their vassals
If “the west” isn’t voting for Bush or Reagan then they’re hailing people like Obama, who destroyed Libya and brought back open air slave markets - or Clinton who destroyed Belgrade and undermined social protections for workers. To think you are somehow better because you support(ed?) Genocide Joe is just delusion.
“You want to be a cop/soldier/agent? What’s more appealing to you, shooting brown people or being a jackboot for our capitalist overlords?”
Don’t be nice to acquaintances, stinging critique will stay on their mind more than gently prodding them. If it’s friends or family and you think they won’t want to talk to you if you use such rhetoric then maybe you hold their hand and try and engage in a longer, more nuanced and less hostile discussion but be clear about your views and present them evidence as to what these organisations really are.
Cop? What happens to do gooder whistle blowing types? They die.
Soldiers? What the fuck were they doing protecting poppy plantations in Afghanistan?
CIA? show then the Stockwell interviews on what they did
Fbi? Murdered Fred Hampton
Is it that Richard Spencer?
Anyone crying about muslim “terrorists” needs to learn about Lehi/Irgun and what they did and called themselves.
Anyone crying “it’s the only democracy” needs to answer why an Israeli born in the west bank gets to vote but a Palestinian born in west bank doesn’t.
Anyone opposing Palestinian liberation needs to answer if they acknowledge the genocide being perpetrated against Palestinians. Either they are ignorant or will reveal themselves as genocide supporters.
You vote in bourgeois elections and that makes you a socialist? You seem confused.
What an amazing democracy.
Fidel nationalized his family’s farms
Even in the earliest days of European colonialism, there was very much a concept of the damage being done, look up Bartolomé de las Casas and educate yourself.
Either you’re too young to pay your heating bill or extremely privileged… Many families had to decide between heating or eating.
Can you spill the tea? Iirc GI made some fairly based videos that were removed after radlibs/pseudolefties called you guys tankies.
“Ronald Reagan was a freedom fighter in terms of supporting our Jewish bros & sis in the Soviet Union & opposing vicious forms of communism” - West
He said there’s no ethical or moral argument why cp shouldn’t be legal, many times. He has said that no ethical consumption under capitalism means that such unethical content should be permitted. Why are you trying to defend him? It’s not one thing “taken out of context” as vaushites attempt to claim, he has made very sus arguments many times and even admitted to “jerking it” to underage hentai imagery.
Under capitalist logic maybe they make sense in natural monopoly situations -water, electricity, telecoms, trains. But nationalization makes more sense in such “markets” rather than attempting to create artificial market “competiton”.
At least destiny isn’t claiming to be a comrade or trying to normalize child r***

Richard Wolff’s partner, Harriet Fraad is a psychiatrist and has similar ideas and made a podcast with a therapist, Max Golding, called It’s Not Just in Your Head. Libertarian psychiatrist Thomas Szasz wrote extensively on the limitations of his field.
Historically psychiatry has been used to control runaway slaves, suffering drapetomia. Complaining women had hysteria. You are gay? That was diagnosable.
Racial bias in psych treatment is well documented, with people of color more likely to be perceived as aggressive and a threat to others than white presenting people with similar behaviour.
Psychiatry is most often practiced on an individual and fails to take into account the societal problems around an individual. If you’re boss abuses you or the system as a whole alienates you there is little a psych can do.
I used to consider myself antipsychiatry, I have personally had negative experiences with involuntary psychiatric “treatment”
While going through an anarchist phase there was seemingly little contradiction between my antipsych and ideological beliefs - it’s just another unjust hierarchy. You can only be diagnosed if your function within this capitalist system is impaired.
As I embraced Marxist-Leninist ideas, contradictions became evident. Liberalism is an infantile disorder, the psychopathic accumulation of wealth by the richest endangers our survival as a species, the insecurities of those who hold on to the patriarchy and supremacist ideas should be remedied, one way or another.
I defended the right of self identifying neurodiverse people to reclaim labels such as autism while maintaining their criticism of psychiatry as it was inflicted upon themselves - within antipsychiatry communities such sentiment was not welcome. I was subjected to antisemitic attacks for refusing to endorse the labelling of psychiatry as a “holocaust”
I have much sympathy for the people who call themselves antipsychiatry, most of them have suffered immensely and they have legitimate criticisms of the field. But I can’t call them comrades, for most - their understanding of the systems of oppression is too narrow - their hatred of psychiatry is bordering on reactionary. Seeing well meaning people with legitimate criticism of psychiatry, who were rejected by such communities for daring to identify as autistic or ND was quite disappointing. Seeing entirely antimedical communities come into being from antipsychiatry ones, even worse.
I still have serious doubts about the long term efficacy of psychiatric treatment but I’m willing to accept that there maybe some situations where it is appropriate. I am an administrator on a discord server that describes itself as psych abolitionist and is mostly populated by anarchists that I helped start while I still considered myself antipsych that at least doesn’t allow for bigotry or hate speech, though I am not very comfortable with my role there and would prefer to just be a visitor - I don’t enforce my ideology there and try not to be heavy handed with the rules, I’ve asked to have my admin/mod powers removed but my anarchist friend, who created the server, lives in a different timezone, isn’t very active online and seems to have faith in my ability to be fair.
Pretty sure the main reason was the “pro russian” stuff when the SMO had just kicked off and not the “genocide denial” which we were “guilty” of for years before the quarantine
Critical support to Donald Trump in his mission to undermine the amerikkkan state, bless him for not hiring people to the state department and congratulations for his negotiation of capitulation to the Taliban
