Modern psychiatry.

absolutely, there are still people who think mussolini was a wonderful ruler, who lived under his rule.

but the meaning it has come to have made my last sentence a sentence instead of a diatribe, which was convenient for me, so I took it.

I do however take issue with some of the nuts and bolts of fascism.

 

that is the complicating issue for most of this. i believe that in the essence of ourselves, we have no need for drugs in any way shape or form. and all illness (and consumerism, and anything else that contributes to "societal problems")is a creation to keep us more enslaved. and from that viewpoint, i feel pretty confident saying that it is all together causal; skinny models, healthcare companies, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum. but, that's just one point of view.

 

we don't NEED drugs, but a lot of them help

like antibiotics

which, incidentally, aren't big money makers.

 

If you super sad and fragile and accept your own prognosis
Your pychopharmocoligist can expedite your doses
If you want to understand how we say this elated
It's cause were medicated

 

nope

no- often (not always) just an easy way out of dealing with something more effectively coped with using behavior modification.

We're not really humans but money bearing vegetation to be managed and farmed by the government and corporate alliance. The drugs are just a small part of the distraction that keeps us from focusing on real issues- which are likely the cause of so much depression and anger. Part of our drug regimen is the information pharmaceutical delivered through the airwaves intended to overload and desensitize us to the point of passively not questioning when a class of the population systematically defrauds us while mainstream news reports it as happenstance of market forces beyond anyone's influence.

Livestock management... we're all bonsai money trees-- cultivated and forcibly pruned to fit the liking of an elite class.

 

Maybe this is me being stupid and brain fried but I think we're all intellectualizing the issue here. There is no psychiatri-fascist agenda going on, we simply live in a society that is far removed from that of our ancestors, that being one in which people's lives were governed in strict accordance with the laws of the land and communal ties were much more important. We have becoming lonely, producing, consuming, overthinking, housewives, factory workers, nurses, techies, god we even make up fake jobs like "teaching", "psychiatry" and "accounting". We live in a bizarre society with both unnatural freedoms and pressures and I think mental illness is a natural side affect. People need drugs to fit in. Personally I say this: Don't fit in...but thats a big ask for most.

 

It's funny, mental illness was never as severe as it is these days, not even in the 90's, now it seems everyone is run by a pill, it's the new craze, much like slap bracelets..

With all the new technologies society transformed itself into something inhumane...and it's not over yet.

This all became so big in, what, the passed 6 years maybe? I'm pretty sure they are just doing their best at keeping evolving minds under their slave system..

We will reign.

 

This is a problem that we must face as a nation

 

atriot: :rofl:

 

This whole "The world is a slave system run by fascists" bullshit is simply a simple explanation for a very complex problem. It also diverts responsibility for our impact on society.

I don't think the slave mentality is as conscious a process as some people make it out to be, even for the enslavers. Most people from the top down are convinced that what they're doing is right and good...and perhaps are also equally responsible from the bottom up for the ills of society. I think its easier for us to place a demonic authoritarian presence behind it all but really its a collective stupidity.

 

yeah, people are collectively stupid, and, yeah, there are people who want control, and, yeah, there are people who want money, the thing is, aspects of this make others easier, and make coordination between other parts much less of a challenge.

 

Do you work 60 hours a week and never see your kids because of work? Do you spend those few hours awake with your kids barely able to be a parent because of all the hard work you do to make money? I'm sure I'm speaking from a different point of view than you are used to, but the simple fact that a HUGE portion, and majority of America lives and breeds in this fashion, makes me sick to my stomach when they say, there is no "slave system"...

 

LOL thanks for paraphrasing my entire argument into five words and getting it completely wrong. I apologize, I should have said 'Yes, there is something resembling a slave system' but I don't think its as intentional as some people think. There is definitely greed, self interest and on the other side there is laziness and apathy involved but its not engineered to be a slave society....it evolved to be one. Let me clarify...as a collective we've become consumed by a need to produce and consume, keep the economy going, and some people are able to exploit this, but I don't think the exploiters are solely responsible for the problem, its the system and culture under which we live under that allows them to exploit, that is the problem. Does that make sense? I'm a little fuzzy today.

I totally agree with you on your main point, there is definitely something wrong with a society in which things like you mentioned are allowed to happen.

 

I'm sorry, I just watched "Zeitgeist"..

 

ad hoc slave republic.

 

yeah but it's neat and convenient and why I do it!

This does make a lot of sense despite flying in the face of a previous post of mine that I'll still stand behind. Most "enslavers" would hardly characterize themselves as such- and most purveyors of drugs are peddling convenience for a profit. The intent is to make money. Prescription only medications are advertised to patients for the purpose of getting them to a doctor's office and agreeable toward being prescibed the medication- even to the point of possibly influencing the decision of the doctor. This can improve business for those benevolent, charitable, altruistic and above all, NEEDY pharmaceutical gentle giants.

 

I certainly agree that pharmaceutical corporations are manipulative, greedy and will exploit and possibly even discourage the wrong treatment for mental illness. I definitely wasn't arguing with you directly, I was talking to a lot of people in this thread. I think its important for people to look at the big picture and think about why we do what we do, what our needs are and not who is the most evil.

 

If you believed that bullshit, you're more of a puppet than the pill-poppers.

I want to cum on your brain.
People need to start taking responsibility and stop blaming the system. Don't they realize they are just another cog in the machine? They are just as vital as any other part.
Sure, maybe the average joe doesn't have as much influence as the average CEO - but who the fuck is giving him that influence? The consumer; by using his goods. You don't like what a corporation does with their power - stop buying their shit.
Sure, politicians lie and cheat and rig machines; but they can't rig them all; and if the people actually exercised their rights to vote - the votes would over come.
And all politicians aren't evil; a lot of them legitimately care, but they can't do the job alone; they need our support. They need our involvement.

Just take the fight to keep the internet neutral; the people have not given up; and the lobbies have not won.

 

Agreed...

I feel compelled to add that people take charge of their own life and health and in the case of nonlethal situations explore non-medical ways of dealing with what used to be little more than differences in temperament as opposed to seeking easy answers and taking on the role of victims- which posts like my previous only reflect.

 

Oh really? I think it's quite the opposite.
