  • I get where you’re going but on the other side of your fear of the state you are denied release from what could be immense suffering because the state deems it.

    Often times its the state causing the immense suffering…

    Modern psychology really misses the mark in the sense often times its just treating the symptoms so they can get you back to work as quickly as possible.

    Im more interested in restorative justice with psychology, as well as treating the symptoms; we should be treating the causes too…

    Body autonomy is a myth, ‘biopower’ is a concept that has been utilized since the industrial age, the role of the structres of society are to keep you healthy enough to work.

    Regardless, I caveeted that yes, if you’re physically about to die and under immense suffering id support these actions. In a privatesed health system with an aging demographic though you cannot prevent abuses of power from happening with assisted suicide; family members pressuring mentally ill family members into an early suicide to remove there care burden, people doing it for inheritance, people thinking they have a uncurable mental illness when in reality the effective treatments are denied to them (I think of PTSD war sufferers denied MDMA which is proven 90%+ effective in treating PTSD who go onto kill themselves…)

    There are so many ethical concerns with this stuff that only takes a little foresight to see how bad it would be in reality.



  • I just think it’s been glorified to the point people who have no experience with ghetto culture outside of rap music start acting like they thugs n shit. Like “gangster” shit started happening everywhere with a shitload of people fully embracing not only the visual look but the “hustler” “gangster” lifestyle.

    My perspective on this, is that the chicken came before the egg so to speak.

    Rappers dont glorify these things anymore than metal bands singing about decipitating hundreds of people mean it; all art is fiction, we wont be calling a horror film writer a ‘glorification of violence’, we call it a fantasy, a reflection of reality; these people observe reality and reflect it in art.

    Now, does some rap stray into reality? Sure, so does all art, unless we fully remove the human from art it will always involve a real person.

    Voting for a liberal continues the cycle of underclass exploitation either way, id say the middle class cocaine user and the politican locking up millions of people into small prison cells for drug use has a much bigger hand in creating and perputating the cycle of violence that dominates liberal society in america.

    To accent my point and show how the way you are thinking is a symptom of a moral panic, something that takes a few examples and inflates it into a wider group…

    90% of drill artists banned from making music in the UK dont have a criminal record…85% of those banned without a criminal record are black.

    Its the censoring of the mental production of black youths; the upper class do not want a culture based on anti-authoritianism to emerge.
