The machiavellian side of western psychology and a rant
6 years ago
Behaviors that are considered either diseases or syndromes are often found in people holding positons of power. Particularly, psychopathy, sociopathy and anti-social disorder are not only abundant but apparently a requirement for people in the high spheres to exist. The most absolute disregard of human rights and human lives, a capability for lying, a willness to harm others in the order of thousands. Those and other things that in a psychology book would classify as "disorders" and "diseases", traits that however are very present in people belonging to the police, military, pharmaceutical industry, government, etc. The fact that those behaviors are considered to be "abnormal" for the common population is highly suspicious. It is like if they want us to be obedient sheep while they hold the monopoly of violence and crime. This is a reason for which I will not believe in anyone trying to talk me out of this. To end one's life, it is not a "bad" thing. But there is a more primal reason. I am not going to let a bunch of disgusting spoiled kids tell me how to live my life. For a brat that has not lived in poverty, it is easy to tell others that they should "get over" and "carry on". It is easy to pretend you love life when you're an obese rich kid living in a first world country. When people tell me that I should value my life more, it makes me sick. Like, basically, to begin with, your damn country -the usa- has been routinely mass murdering people all across the globe for the last 50 years, so don't pretend you give a damn about me. If I am suicidal, it has partially come to this point because of the poverty your damn country has brought to mine and caused my life to get caught in a perfect storm. So just don't pretend you give a damn about me. It sickens me when an american tells me that I should keep living, because one of the benefits of ending my life will be that at least I won't be a slave of american imperialism anymore.
