I'm sure the abuse and murders will stop if we start putting woke leftists in charge of the police department. Surely we couldn't get rid of the police department, that would cause chaos. Who else will arrest drug users and stalk sex workers in our post-capitalist, post-racial utopia?
It's the same logic that leads "anarchist" vaush to endorse sanctions on non-US countries, even though sanctions are just a regressive tax on poor people.
Really makes one reconsider the relationship of culture to materiality with stories like this lmao. Normally I'm confident in my approach but...did these people really commit to long term criminal records to LARP as Niko Bellic?
It is a way of obscuring the inherently anti-communist dichotomy between "masses" and a hierarchical party structure which is separate from society which produces it.
Third positionism but for self-described communists
If any users here are found to be harassing either users during all of this, we will be permanently banning them.
Harassing the alleged abuser is permaban status?
Why?
And also, what defines harassment in this case?
I would also hope that this thread can serve as a transparency dump for info related to your process. Chat logs, etc, would help improve confidence, and be a great benefit to the platform's legitimacy and accountability to the online left community.
Genuine questions, not trying to be a wrecker. Thank you for your labor.
How TF did I speak on your condition? I said we had, both, valid experiences. My implied point was that you should not wokescold people for being critical of psychiatry as an institution.
Psychiatry, too, has a history one might call...ableist.
I mean, what else would you call incarcerating people? Justified?
For example: I grew up with symptoms of issues with eating since a very young age. Every time, whether I saw a primary care provider, or the psychologists and psychiatrists they referred me to, they always decided that it was because my mother decided to get divorced around that time, and that I was anorexic, depressed, crazy, etc. Eventually they gave up, and I stopped going to therapy after a few years. I was very young during this time, and had no agency within the process.
15 years later, I almost died. Most pain I've ever woken up my life. They took me into surgery, with no idea what was wrong with me exactly, probably appendicitis but who knows was their guess.
When I came out, I was told the surgeon had discovered I was born with a condition that resulted in me, as per the typical etiology, develop eating impairment around the time I was about 2 years old. Exactly when I had started exhibiting symptoms. So... it was the result of a non-psychological condition, in terms of the disease etiology. It should have been diganosed by a GI specialist long ago, according to the doctors I consulted afterwards, and most people who have it are diagnosed at a young age. I, somehow, survived for a decade and a half without dying of starvation or being institutionalized. I should have died, because they left me for dead, due to the systemic problems in the psychological sciences and medicinal fields associated.
They said I was insane. And yet, they missed the obvious and direct cause of my issues, because they had placed me and my single mother in their gendered psychiatric boxes and refused to provide any other form of care.
The statute of limitations had passed long ago, so I was unable to sue the doctors, or get any form of accountability from them, despite my investigation of and effort toward the matter.
Your personal experiences aren't the unitary basis of reality. It offends you when people criticize a system of power imbalance? Sorry, but that doesn't mean people will stop discussing it. The rest of us have valid lived experiences as well, and opinions which are well-founded as yours.
