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

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.

Is it that Richard Spencer?

They could feed their people, they just don’t care to.

Maybe she shouldn’t have defended/slept with that collaborationist fascist cop but yeah no comparison with the crimes of Dukat

Always has been comrade

You vote in bourgeois elections and that makes you a socialist? You seem confused.

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.

We don’t want to “make amerika great” we want to abolish and decolonize it.

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”.

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.

We only trust western state and corporate media

Which law was that? The one you made up or the one from up your ass?

Patsocs are total scum but I’m fairly sure they all support Putin, tho often uncritically. Maupin works for RT, Haz supports Putin in the war and in the antilgbt bs, Yankie Tankie the same as haz, who else is there? MidwesternMarx is patsoc adjacent and Eddie Liger debated vaush in support of Russias position on the war.

Not really, the government of Afghanistan didn’t attack the USA, that was bin Laden and the Afghans offered to hand him over via a third party nation, he was eventually found (according to their own account) in Pakistan and not Afghanistan. And that’s not even getting into the weeds of how the cia financed at least two of the highjackers, norad failed to intercept planed that deviated from their flight paths or the project for a new amerikkkan century.

Nato took over operations in Afghanistan not long after the initial invasion.
