The whole field of psychology has such an inhumane and crackpot history that they’ve brought this upon themselves. I’m don’t defend Scientology, but they don’t stick ice-picks in peoples brains or use the courts to sterilize minorities. I’m not aware of a Scientologist being instrumental in the Satanic Panic or retrieving false memories, through hypnosis, that put innocent people in jail for child abuse.
EST isn’t going away because Scientology attacked it, it’s because psychologists have cried wolf too many times that their barbaric methods have therapeutic value.

Are people practicing psychiatry today responsible for the mistakes of people in the past who had similar goals but entirely different methods? Do you think prescribing medical treatments for mental disorders should automatically mean taking the blame for past mistakes?
Look I get it, they deserve a win after what their entire civilization went through and is still going through a thanks to the government in particular and white people in general. That does not mean, however, that it justifies fucking over already poor people using exorbitantly high interest loans. John Oliver did an episode about these kinds of things once and they are so goddamn predatory it’s disgusting.

I hate Trump, but this framing is disingenuous. In the context of what he was saying, he was trying to make “a point” about South American countries sending criminals to the USA. He was claiming that if he doesn’t win the election, it would be safer to have their next conversation in Venezuela because there would be no crime there as they’d have sent all criminals to USA.
So, you know, just more of his really stupid bullshit, but he wasn’t really saying he would flee to Venezuela. For one, that would require him to believe he had done something wrong or to admit some kind of defeat, two things that I firmly believe he is incapable of doing.
Also every American country (North and South) have international extradition laws, aka they would ship his criminal ass back to prison where he belongs)
