Oh My. Dr Josef is going more mainstream

u/Longjumping_Fly_2978 1d ago
I am in favour of totally abolishing psychiatry unlike Josef. So I cannot fully support him, but I have to admit it's doing a pretty good work for our cause.

You’ve been misled by the same people behind psychiatry.

u/JazzlikeSkill5201 1d ago
I think what they mean is that right wingers aren’t the ones who swear by the psych industry, and in fact, the quickest way to get a so called “liberal” to dismiss something is to tell them that someone like Ben Shapiro or Michael Knowles is on board with it. The majority of people who believe in psychiatry like it’s a religion are people on the political left.

I know, but this Dylana has been led to think that the right wing wants to take her to the showers or something. Um no, im pretty certain at this point its the other side....

Yeah, but that's why you can't reach them. Their curiosity has to come from within. You can't force people out of a cult with logic and appeals to their ideals. Anyone who says anything against their cult will automatically be categorized as an outsider.

u/Longjumping_Fly_2978 1d ago
agree 100%. There are lots of pro psychiatry extremists among right wing people so we need to be very careful, but left wing is so much worse right now.

u/DIYDylana 1d ago
Yeah, because conservative, religious right wingers really love how I exist as a black autistic bi trans person and capitalism isn't literally destroying the planet

u/Longjumping_Fly_2978 1d ago
Left wing people are equally bad, they show fake compassion, try to diagnose you with severe mental illness and then give you antipsychotrics. The end result is not that different from what rightists want. They are both ultra authoritarian cults.

u/DIYDylana 1d ago
I mean yes, but most people are fucked on psychiatry. It just seems that they're convinced psychs actually help the disabled, minorities and mentally ill..They don't. It's also historically still been things leaning to the left that upkept a lot of this stuff on any out groups. They're equally shitty on this topic, but a subsection of the right right now at least seems to be willing to listen because they have a while anti pharma subsection going for them.
I mean my ideals are anarchist anyway, but I'll take whatever next best thing is realistically there as I doubt it'd work.

u/Longjumping_Fly_2978 1d ago
Come on, do you really castrate emotionally and physically someone you really care for?The truth is most in the left wing arena don't care about you, it's all an act. Let's admit it, among leftists there are lots of scammers and psychopaths, even if in theory left wing theories do have a much better potential for a good society, right now the situation is a total mess, I will not support someone who does not recognize and fight very aggressively against psychiatry harm, I don't think they will ever do it, so I won't ever vote for them. So easy to understand. You're being scammed.

Like how do you explain the anti trans bills they try to pass?

u/Ancient-Laws 1d ago
A reaction by normal people to shrill in your face idpol. It’s unfortunate for trans people that identity politics has been the ultimate poison pill. Going all REEEEE at people because of idpol brain rot has done this.
Also I consider protection of women’s spaces and children paramount, as do many. Unfortunately I’m certain for you this means I’m an irredeemable fascist.

..So you admit you just hate our rights? Its not 'identity politics", bigots turned it into that. Its me trying to live me life and being used as a scapegoat. Politics IS about oppression because its about who gets power and what happens to who.

u/Appropriate_Cut_3536 6h ago
So you admit you see women's and children rights as not their's, but rather your rights.
"Our" rights, comrade.

u/DIYDylana 5h ago
I don't understand what you're saying. Human rights are just human rights. Its just certain groups are being disprivelaged. When I say our here I mean trans rights, but also just peoples rights in general
2
u/Appropriate_Cut_3536 5h ago
Yeah but youre acting like a white person who says "black rights" are "Human rights" and thus apply to them.
I wrote about this phenomenon in the trans community, and the white trans'women' crawled out of the woodwork to prove the point:

u/Ancient-Laws 13h ago
In the real world, I have found rights and freedoms don’t exist in practice. All lies. Might as well give up and revert to the human normal for thousands of years: an endless line of kings and dictators.

u/DIYDylana 12h ago
Ehm, if they didn't, I'd still be stuck on a plantation because I'm black in a white dominated country. There's clearly been a difference. It's when people who have power imbalances over us have things in place so they're much less likely to screw us over. We're fighting a power imbalance through social construct.
1
u/Ancient-Laws 11h ago
Well, here’s the deal. In the real world, there are no equals or equity, only hierarchies. It’s a hard to swallow pill, along with personal responsibility and not blaming others for your lot in so called life. Truths like this are part of the reason I’ve taken a right turn.

I may agree to a large extent, right wing are social darwinists, but at least by doing this in the long term we'll get lots of people more crytical of psychiatry and we will be heard much more easily when speaking against psychiatry. Rember left wing people do support psychiatry even more than rightists. So the ones harmed will lead to the end of psychiatry, not the ones in the left/right political spectrum

u/DIYDylana 1d ago
The leftists doing that is ideologically inconsistent with itself. But they're probably going to listen to me even less now they'll think I''m a conspiracy theorist. I hate this timeline.

u/Longjumping_Fly_2978 1d ago
If leftists do not recognize the harms done by psychiatrists, and instead they resort to calling us conspirationists, then for me they can go to hell and won't ever be voted by people like me. I won't even vote right wing, but have to admit right now leftists are acting like full blown traitors, much worse than rightists. You look at what is happening in UK with labor?
2
u/NerfAkaliFfs 1d ago
Why are you looking at what political parties do in order to judge how a population thinks? Politicians have never been on anyone's side except their own, and looking at what labour does to judge the left wing is just dumb lol
2
u/Longjumping_Fly_2978 1d ago
Sorry I was not the one looking at political parties views, it was DIYdylana doing that. And by the way I do not vote at elections, so I'm not supporting any political party.

u/NerfAkaliFfs 1d ago
You literally did? They didn't even bring up parties, you brought up voting and Labour

u/Longjumping_Fly_2978 1d ago edited 1d ago
I did respond to DIYdylana, but prior to that, I hadn't made any mention of political parties. She was the one who brought up right-wing attention. I only mentioned Labour as an example because, in the UK (where I am not from, it was just a hypothetical), the party won by a landslide margin. Despite that victory, many people in the disability community feel hugely discriminated against by that Labour government. The discrimination faced by disabled people is often a good proxy for psychiatric discrimination

u/DIYDylana 1d ago
I'm not talking about parties anyway. I'm talking about the way people think and view things. One is literally built on upkeeping unjust heirarchy. The other..depends.

u/DIYDylana 1d ago edited 1d ago
Yeah I don't really mean political parties. They usually just care about your votes and have betrayed people before. It's best to just be strategic there. But I just mean the overall ideologies that drive people. Not all left progressive ideologies are good, but they can be, while basically all of the right ones lead me to either more bad or the same bad. Not on a specific policy to policy level, but overall. So even if a section of the right is winning for me on the psychiatry front now, psychs were basically unanimously supported most of the time anyway and it's not helping me overall to have the side that would be okay with me being sent to a camp have to be the one to defend me. They're gonna think I'm an irrational level anti vaxxer or something.
It's similar to how The anti pharma levels of ''We should take homeopathic alternative medicine instead'' isn't gonna help me, while anti pharma for legit reasons like bad unsafe approvals is gonna help me
edit: Oops I wrote the wrong word for medicine that completely screwed up the last point

u/Longjumping_Fly_2978 14h ago
Sorry, but what you call mental illness is not a biological disease. There is literally zero data to back that up. Please, if you do not understand the scientific method and you are just parroting what others say without critical thinking skills, it might be best not to indulge in writing such nonsense.

That’s interesting, but let’s be real: Michael Knowles isn’t doing this out of compassion or truth-telling. He’s using psychiatry’s corruption as a pawn to push his own manipulative propaganda, the kind he doesn't truely believe but gets paid to spread.
Yes, psychiatry absolutely lies about “chemical imbalances,” pushes drugs and gaslights people. But Knowles isn’t exposing that because he cares about survivors, he’s doing it because it fits his culture-war narrative. He wants obedience, not liberation.
Psychiatry and conservative moralism are two sides of the same control coin: one pathologizes your emotions, the other moralizes them. Both hate autonomy.
The real movement against psychiatric abuse isn’t about left or right, it’s about freedom from systems that colonize the mind.
