You shouldn't blame Zionism on a mental illness. Zionism is a choice to be awful.
Faith isn’t the reason, it’s the excuse
I didn't say it was faith either. It's not mental illness or faith.
To be fair the OP didn’t call it mental illness either. They said something was wrong with them as a person.
It is a conscious decision to commit genocide, using Judaism as a cover to protect them from criticism. Intentionally bombing children does mean something is wrong with you IMO
religion is a powerful motivator, often used to get gullibles to commit awful crimes
They said they oppose genocide because they're not a psychop*th. That's not appropriate language. We don't use slurs, and we don't blame Zionism on ASPD.
... Psychopath is a slur?
I think all fascism is a mental illness.
Luckily, there is a treatment, as demonstrated by one of its most famous sufferers. It can even be self administered!
I'm all for suicide jokes, but equating fascism with mental illness is taking the joke too far.
More like a plague, but it is. It is genuinely a sickness.
Edit: fascists are not well, and should not be allowed to make decisions.
Neurodivergent people should be allowed to make decisions. Fascists should be shot. That's the difference.
Sure, because theyre a danger to the rest of us, it's incurable, and they're in terrible suffering. And also because it's funny.
It's a mind virus
Are bad/lacking morals a mental illness? Seriously, at what point do we draw the line? It's a curious topic.
No, they're not. When psychologists become the arbiters of correct morality and pathologise disagreement, society is fucked.
You're thinking of what happens when good people make the rules. But what if people like Freud were in charge of calling certain moral values illnesses? We already have enough problems with things like homosexuality being called a mental illness. What if Trump Derangement Syndrome were in the DSM?
What if Trump Derangement Syndrome were in the DSM?
IDK but I've definitely self-diagnosed with it.
It’s working it’s way in there. Give it a few more years and they’ll be able to institutionalize us for TDS.
That's not what she does. Being a bad person or even being a psychopath is not considered a mental illness.
In a certain sense you're right; psychop*th is Greek for "suffering soul". It's supposed to just refer to the abstract idea of mental illness. But in practice, it's a slur against ASPD. And even if that weren't the case, using the Greek word for mentally ill person as an insult is disgusting behaviour.
I'm talking about psychology, not history. Sociopathy is not considered an illness.
