      They will convert all social ailments into personal flaws people have in their brains that they can use to discredit them as they see fit. Fuckin' hate liberals.

      If you do that, you don't have to look at any possible reasons for it. Can't have downers ruining our adventures overseas.

      Not only that but the underlying assumption is that the mentally ill (and those considered mentally ill) cannot and do not have political agency. They are nothing but the sum of their afflictions.

      It's unbelievably disgusting.

      Liberals are hardcore bigotted towards mental illness and see "being mad" as an easy out to dehumanise or delegitimize people.

      They do this all the time, every little thing becomes mental illness, even mild complaints are suddenly 'anxiety-depression'. To them all minorities and the poor are mentally ill, no fucking different than the damn chuds, what toxic individualism does to a mf class. same-picture

      Like, honestly, I think there's a fair case to be made about the whole "Don't diagnose others" thing sometimes
