Rapidly becoming sick of running in to this "Go see a therapist" as a gotcha out in the wild. It sucks from two directions - one, therapy is inaccessible to many people, so you're mocking people's poverty, and two, therapy doesn't actually fix most problems most people have, so you're again mocking people for not lifting themselves up by their own magical self help bootstraps.
"Go to therapy" has become shorthand for "you sound mentally ill and therefore I don't have to listen to you."
Its also some class caste thing since if you're high enough on the class stratum you're just a delightful eccentric, nothing wrong at all, but if you're lower on the scale you're a menace and an immediate danger to society.
You’re right.
Society is a danger to itself, though. And society is dangerous to its participants.
Therapy—not as the libs describe it—can help people by normalizing their feelings of alienation and anger.
Instead they bring out the alienation to its maximum and then curl and ball and cry at the consequences since libs are terrible at prevention of what they dread. Society esp the bourgeois one makes me think of Buñuel's Film the Exterminating Angel, though the party goers know they must leave the house they can't, some mutually held force (society) that they participate in stops them and makes things unmanageable.
"Get therapy" is the liberal way of saying, "Okay [r-word]."
110%. And dating profiles with "You must be in therapy" are a class and income checkpoint. They're sure as hell not talking about people with severe PTSD or bipolar disorder when they say you need to be in therapy to date them.
It's also interesting to me how, despite all the "discourse" around mental health and "self-care", the actual mental health crisis continues to get worse. Maybe there's like... systemic causes behind a lot of this that need to be addressed. Hmmm really makes u think....
Whenever a chud blames "the current thing" on mental health I like to say something along the lines of "so you think mental healthcare should be accessible then?"
Personally I don’t care about none of that. I find making “seeing a therapist” your whole personality - whether you actually see one or not - extremely annoying
So weird seeing this kinda stuff linked to someones instagram handle, i love my intellectual property
hasn't hauk tuah made the rounds already? Like isn't this a rerun from a year ago or something? Or am I just losing my mind?
Apparently, but I'm having total deja vu over this shit.🤷
"There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen."
Me hearing about Hawk Tuah for the first time:
"Is that a new Tekken or Street Fighter character?"
I thought that this meme would be disrespectful, like eg. you're spitting on someone, and when I saw the original I was pleasantly surprised
