Jeez, people! You all SEEM to be awfully conveniently sweeping lots of people aside on something close to class prejudice! People are OPPRESSED, that is why they have all these so-called "mental illnesses" and so-called "self-centeredness"; for those who don't know, there are OTHER sides of the truth on this one; see for example, Dr.Thomas Szasz,MD's 'The Myth of Mental Illness'!! Basically, he and a few other stalwart "thorns in the side of psychiatry" (in Szasz's case, a psychiatrist himself!) have been consistent voices challenging the actual non-science of such "illness"; what, after all, constitutes a "normal" brain chemistry?? And who can demonstrate brain Normality??? But they've got the big funding right now and so can keep ramming thru their views over all the other schools of thought which have been forced to the margins (like us, unable to obtain a platform that can reach the millions of people). B4UAct appears to be an alternative, or at least have alternative possibilities for those daring enough. Another potential might be www.mindfreedom.org. Basically, there's a huge momentum built up in psychiatric propaganda thus most uncritically Accept such things. Until they (or their loved ones) experience the field's injustices! Having said all of that, this place is also full of sexfascists. As well as young kids (probably) who don't understand that uncritically siding with sexfascists blocks their own deep liberation in meaningful ways. But most won't likely see this until it's too late, if history is any teacher. |
