Mental Health System, Psychotherapy, Psychiatry, Psychiatric Drugs

One of the reasons SJG is not really a liberal:

Talked to a guy last night, had all the standard liberal views, but he clearly does not want there to be any major conflict.

In particular he is a strong supporter of Psychotherapy, the Mental Health System, and the concept of Mental Illness.

I am completely opposed to these things and want to eradicate them.

My liberal acquaintance believes that Mental Illness is real, and that confessing your affairs to a Psychotherapist "helps" you.

He gave the example of someone who has "urges", like "urges to rape someone".

As I see it, that someone could be convinced that their urges are dangerous or necessarily bad, is a travesty. That this convincing would be done by someone carrying a government issued license is the ultimate in belittling and disabling.

Of course we all have to think twice about what we do. But as far as feelings and urges the most important thing is to feel them and try to go to their depths.

So no, I am not going along with this guy. I am a Radical Leftist. I believe that to get a more just and progressive society, large scale lethal violence may indeed prove necessary.

About the best I can say about Psychotherapy is that we should not be allowing our government to license it. Cut it lose. And remember, anytime you talk to a Psychotherapist, you might as well just be talking to police. It amounts to the same thing, same results. No more licensed Psychotherapy.

About Psychiatry, telling people that they have a Mental Illness, I say that that falls within Nuremberg precedents for Crimes Against Humanity.

So for a government license holder to be telling people such nonsense, 20 years in prison.

For one who gives out Psychiatric Medications, a Life sentence.

For one who gives these medications to juveniles:

Shocking reports have revealed that immigrant children were subdued and incapacitated with powerful psychiatric drugs at a detention center in South Texas. Legal filings show that children held at Shiloh Treatment Center in southern Houston have been “forcibly injected with medications that make them dizzy, listless, obese and even incapacitated,” according to reports by Reveal. Meanwhile, according to another Reveal investigation, taxpayers have paid more than $1.5 billion over the past four years to companies operating immigration youth facilities despite facing accusations of rampant sexual and physical abuse.

Sickening, the people who do this drugging of children should be executed.

Mentally ill people always fear psychotherapy, do you are not unique.

Nothing to fear about it, a Psychiatrist or Psychotherapist will respond the same way as any one else would when his or her nose bridge is hammered into their frontal lobes.

What will be interesting is when abuse survivors start obtaining legal justice, instead of letting more people fuck with them.
