I don't think you can maintain a militarist culture that vaunts bombing poor foreigners as the height of civic valour and strength and then be surprised that your adolescents find meaning in gym-addled misogynists and their hellish visions of domination and aggression. The dreams of Liberalism spawn monsters.
part 2 was also pretty bad :( I don't necessarily think there's anything wrong with exploring a more at-face-value right wing reading of Nietzsche, and it's pretty silly to insist that that reading isn't supported by his work. But it's still an odd choice to not acknowledge any leftist/deluezian analysis, since imo there's a lot of interesting stuff there! anyway shout out to Liv Agar's podcast ep about contrapoint's equally disappointing Nietzsche takes that made me interested in his work to begin with
philosophytube really pissed off the deluezeheads this time huh
My favorite recent example of memetic mutation is how the Spanish-speaking internet has now established any picture of a character smoking a comically large cigarette or a comical amount of cigarettes as the visual language for saying something is peak cinema.
Similar to the Martin Scorsese "absolute cinema" meme, over the course of the last couple years it became a meme to use this picture of Mads Mikkelsen smoking a cigarette as a reaction pic (both unironically and ironically) for the quality of a movie or TV show, commonly captioned as "en efecto, es cine" ("indeed, it is cinema"), "joder, esto si es cine" ("fuck, now this is cinema"), or "hoy ganó el cine" ("today cinema won").
This led to people establishing the visual shorthand of "cigarette = good show/movie" (such as people commenting a single cigarette emoji under screencaps or gifsets of movies), and eventually the meme of treating the size of the cigarette and/or number of cigarettes as being directly representative of cinematic quality, leading to reaction pics like these being used.
i love having ocd 💖 its so fun to have to run all my beliefs and opinions by a panel of hallucinatory approximations of my closest friend's ethical judgements because i am incapable of feeling morally secure unless 'good people' agree with me 💖 i love how i then constantly have to vet those friends beliefs because yknow, what if they actually turn out to be bad people which obviously means i can't have a relationship with them anymore 💖 but why the fuck am i trying to judge them in the first place, thats a pretty shitty thing to do to your friends, not very good person behavior tbh 💖 i will keep on doing this cycle forever because it's so fun and i love it 💖
why did no one tell me Freud's couch was aesthetic as fuck
can someone ask a good question
if you're looking for further antipsych readings, i heavily recommend bruce cohen's psychiatric hegemony: a marxist theory of mental illness.
it would be one of the published academic books on the topic of psychiatry i would have the least amount of caveats for - together with anne harrington's mind fixers: psychiatry's troubled search for the biology of mental illness.
if you are already convinced that psychiatry, together with other sciences, evolved alongside capitalist development to serve bourgeois interests, ensure social control and legitimize the hegemonic world order - and that no amount of intradisciplinary reform can change this, short of total abolition - then you will likely not be learning much from this book. it does however lay the arguments very clearly, together with concise, clearly explained marxist theory about labor. it then goes on to tie psychiatry with other hegemonic structures - the family, most notably.
interestingly enough, it manages to completely avoid two of the most common pitfalls of this kind of text: it never places the issue with the use of drugs themselves, but with forced medication and lack of available information - and it never blames capitalism itself for the coercive and punishing character of psychiatry, inventing a precapitalistic mythical past where crazy people were fine.
a solid recommendation if you are trying to give an introduction to antipsychiatry concepts to someone!

why does every pro-prc post made by communist about how fundamentally different it's formation from yankland hellhole gets reblogged by people adding shit like this in the tag?

I'm as much of a descriptivist as the next linguist, but I do hate the resulting misconception that there's no such thing as incorrect grammar
in fact there IS a good grade in therapy that is (always) normal to want and (sometimes) possible to achieve in part through being labelled "insightful" and "self-aware" and it is to avoid being stripped of your autonomy and forcibly medicated + incarcerated. but of course the people treating this as laughably irrational - who think of therapy, in essence, as two people voluntarily talking in a room - are often the ones for whom this risk is the lowest
YOU ARE EVIL THEREFORE I AM GOOD I screech at the 'dangerous' looking homeless guy sitting next to me on the bus
there's a lot of reason why I think terfism is a fundamentally nihilistic ideology, but particularly the way it uses genuinely traumatic and oppressive experience as a cudgel just oozes ressentiment
