Shades of the Old Soviet Union

Of course while the Soviets locked some dissidents up in mental hospitals, they did not do so over an intrinsic characteristic like skin color which no one has any control over.  However, stone cold racists like whoever wrote this, have never been big on logic in my experience.

I’m surprised there are enough psychoanalysts left to sustain a professional association. I thought it had died out as a clinical practice 25 years ago. It hasn’t been taken seriously in the mainstream professional literature in psychiatry for > 35 years.

This is a sideshow, though an indication of where the Overton window is in certain segments of society. What should discredit psychiatry and clinical psychology is their collective response to the transgender phenomenon, particularly when contrasted to their response to reparative counseling and therapy for homosexuals. And a truly discredited subdiscipline isn’t financed by the government or insurance companies.

That doesn’t even make sense as nonsense.

You can’t describe a disorder with only third-level descriptions.

You have to have what it is, then detail what that involves, and THEN you can start describing that second part as “malignant.”

This is a name and a judgement.

I LITERALLY just emailed you this before I had checked the website, Don. Just ignore and delete it.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to take up sniffing glue.

The USA is the least racist nation on Earth and, no race in History has done more for another race than white Americans do for American blacks.

Now, It’s not only universal deceit, it’s universal stupidity.

They can write about how the Sun rises in the West. It still rises in the East.

In accordance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, that apparently (the lawyers made us add this word everywhere we cited an apparent violation of law or regulation) is illegal.

The so-called psychology profession also once taught that homosexuality and gender confusion are emotional or psychological pathologies.

Why I have no respect for the social sciences: it’s all malleable opinion and speculation.

T. Shaw–
that’s because we are the same “race,” in the old meaning that spoke of the “French race”– as Chesterton noted, we’re a nation of creed, of idea. The American race.

Now in a much vaguer and more evolutionary fashion, there is something of the same idea at the back of the great American experiment; the experiment of a democracy of diverse races which has been compared to a melting-pot. But even that metaphor implies that the pot itself is of a certain shape and a certain substance; a pretty solid substance. The melting-pot must not melt. The original shape was traced on the lines of Jeffersonian democracy; and it will remain in that shape until it becomes shapeless. America invites all men to become citizens; but it implies the dogma that there is such a thing as citizenship. Only, so far as its primary ideal is concerned, its exclusiveness is religious because it is not racial. The missionary can condemn a cannibal, precisely because he cannot condemn a Sandwich Islander. And in something of the same spirit the American[Pg 9] may exclude a polygamist, precisely because he cannot exclude a Turk.

Foxfier,

I agree with everything you wrote.

One [global] edit: make every verb past tense.

For what? 50 years, America’s dysfunctional, dystopian elites feverishly labored to Balkanize Americans.

Does this mean that any statues to Sigmund Freud can be torn down?

These Marxist nuts have been letting us know in various ways for an extended period of time that having a light skin color is the equivalent of having mental illness. We all knew they were going to eventually get to a place where it is said openly. My next prediction is that it will be term equated with mental illness by government agencies next.
