Most people incarcerated struggle with mental health issues - likely a product of othering. Other societies are far more effective at rehabilitating criminals than the US. The prison system is a ripe subject, doubt we want to go down that rabbit hole.
If you consider that we are all on a big rock floating in the universe, that we are all invested in the health of that rock, that the population of that rock needs to be healthy, there really are no sides.
BTW, love your takes.
Letâs say thatâs true, although I wouldnât call being of low intelligence a mental health issue, most people with mental health issues are not incarcerated.
A rehabilitated criminal is someone who has committed a crime. I donât think it matters much to the victims of violent crimes if the people who hurt them get rehabilitated. Also, are all mental health issues curable? Sociopaths and psychopaths are what they are.
Some people just donât think like that. You need to consider that someone who you may be othering, is othering you.
In the interest of discussion rather than argument, I will respond in kind.
But, most people that are incarcerated have mental health issues. Those mental health issues lead to criminal activity. I feel, admittedly a bleeding heart, that if we can solve the mental health issues, we can solve the criminality.
I personally am a criminal, suffer from mental health issues. I have multiple advance degrees and an above average IQ (according to the shrink that tested me).
For some family members of victims of violent crimes, there is closure if the perp is rehabilitated. If the perp is rehabilitated, society wins. The family of the victim may not be happy, but society is better off. I know that isnât satisfying, but it seems to be true.
Valid point. Psychopaths and sociopaths are most likely not good subjects for rehabilitation. However, most of the mental health issues that contribute to substance use disorder and the crimes associated with addiction are treatable.
I am othered, have been othered, will continue to be othered.
Those that other me will be met with love and acceptance.
Maybe not, but it might mean there wonât be future/repeat victims.
But it means there will always be new victims.
I doubt it. Most are low IQ and were raised by other low IQ people.
And?
Some maybe but I doubt many rape victims move on with their lives as if nothing ever happened. I doubt many parents move on after the murder of one of their kids. Our society cares more about criminals than victims.
Even if that othering manifests itself as violent crime?
Its working. (You have to watch both clips.)
Iâm not saying it isnât some media pushed conspiracy that was backed by the money behind the politicians but I would say a simpler explanation is that media outlets like the NY Times have had an influx of new employees who were indoctrinated at their colleges. Universities have twisted the idea of social justice to be about a specific agenda. Journalism majors see themselves as activists who create narratives rather than unbiased reporters of truth and/or facts. Social justice, rather than being about transparency and truth, is telling people what to think. I remember seeing a picture of the Huffington Post staff and it was all women. What should we have expected from that group?
In the first video the NY Times is mentioned but look at the second video and the college kids who are interviewed; I doubt any of them read the NY Times or any newspaper yet they know how to answer in a way that wonât get them cancelled. And you could tell some were smart enough to know not to answer at all. DEI offices are, for all intents and purposes, the thought police and they have created a climate of fear at not only universities but at all public agencies and many private companies as well. They are the brownshirts and blackshirts for the woke agenda that has been driven by feminists.
I was intrigued by the strategy laid out by Bezmenov wherein the targets canât even make simple obvious decisions.
Like answering a very simple question. Something like âcan men get pregnantâ and they start folding themselves like origami to properly and correctly plant their heads up their own asses.
Useful idiots indeed
Did you see how happy the one girl was when she said what she thought the ârightâ answer was?
You canât outsmart stupid.
Theyâre scared. Itâs why those university presidents who testified before Congress were full of shit. Colleges do have speech codes and students can get in trouble for violating them, and most always the question of whether or not the speech violated the code hinges on how it was interpreted and not intent or context. Thus, when a uni president says that, with regard to advocating for genocide, it depends on context, she was lying to some degree as there is a double standard when it comes to how the interpret/context equation is applied. Students know there is this double standard as well when it comes to who gets to say what and who has to just take it. If a Jewish student called for the genocide of Muslims, context would not matter and that student would face consequences. If a Muslim student calls for the genocide of Jews, âcontextâ matters but really itâs about the context of the dominant culture/race/whatever dynamic and not the context from a meaning (literal, metaphorical, etc.) standpoint.
Yeah. Its eerily similar to my old buddy Vladimir. Born and raised under communism in Ukraine.
Awesome guy, but he was absolutely driven by fear of consequence if he saw you do something questionable.
Would literally do an about face and go directly to the supervisor to tell on you.
I wonât watch brain dead rejects
Well, ok, this one is certainly a winner:
Maybe he won a bet by doing that? Or maybe he lost one and had to do it.
The video is kindaâ entertaining: Man Streaks Naked, Does Cannonball Into Bass Pro Pond During Erratic Meltdown
The meds are working!
How much for just the step stool?
It was used by Donkey Kong himself, so pay up the money brokey!
