Wow, that got weird

I disagree with your premise itself

You seem to be under the assumption that I'm a lib who accidentally took "defund the police" too far. I'm an anarchist who believes we shouldn't have laws at all

On the contrary, corrupt cops should be called out.

All cops are bastards

How is demonizing someone for their profession any better than demonizing someone for their sexual orientation

Lmao, classic

Ew, copaganda

Oh shit new counter statistic just dropped

despite making up only 12% of local police forces...

Yeah, it seems most people still on reddit prefer the newer mobile UI. I never used one of the 'fancy' modern reddit apps, and I'm lowkey scared for the inevitable switch I'll have to make when Eternity finally dies. All the other FOSS apps left have a very 'iOS' feel to them that I can't stand

ASPD is far too broad to be worth treating on it's own. If someone struggles with impulse control and emotion dysregulation, sure, those symptoms are treatable, and treating them is likely to improve the person's quality of life.

However, most people with ASPD meet criteria because they break the law, lie about it (duh), and don't feel bad about it (why would they if they did it on purpose?). This should not be pathologized, and doesn't need treatment.

I don't even believe in free will, so I expect you're right that we won't come to an understanding on this lol 😅

You can't change society without changing the people first.

This is neoliberal propaganda

I am a therapist and I meet diagnostic criteria for ASPD.

The diagnosis itself exists to pathologize the individual to remove blame from the system that fosters this behavior.

The DSM is a joke

The point is more why are we treating the symptom rather than the disease.

Hell yeah, great point

People who take advantage of others are manipulators and by definition that's anti-social. Why is the system so broken that we can't imprison scammers?

What the fuck, how is that your conclusion?

The "disease" is the lack of safety nets- a lack of education, resources, opportunities. "Anti-social" is a copout term to justify the status quo- to pathologize what are ultimately systemic failures manifested in the behavior of individuals. The disease is capitalism, and imprisoning people for "anti-social" behaviors is absolutely the wrong answer.

Like AI Horde?

I block every liberal with a shit take I come across (like 200 .world users so far lol) so that could explain why I haven't seen it much

That is whack; thanks for sharing

That's been my only exposure to the term, is hearing/seeing anarchists say it. Do liberals really use that term?

I'm aware, I've just never heard/seen a liberal use the word "tankie"- though I don't often expose myself to liberals... Are libs actually using that word now? I would literally laugh out loud at the hypocrisy if I witnessed that

Do MLs consider anarchists liberals now?

Lol no, there's no saga- the story is over! I was just trying to say that there's another joke in this post, which is that habanera is not a typo, and the passage/body of the post is based entirely off the lyrics of that song

Thanks ☺

(habanera is not a typo)

Hell yeah. Both of them?

Edit: I want somebody to catch the main gag so bad, but there's no appropriate community to post this to on Lemmy

Thanks, you're very kind but, to be clear, the title is the set-up for the 2-part punchline/gag of a high-effort shitpost
