Mental health crisis clinician: dementia is not considered a “mental health” issue

Also, we can’t force people to get help just because they are acting wildly “crazy”… Even if it’s clearly psychosis, mania, etc. Even if the cops are getting called everyday because the person keeps trashing stores or harassing people. (And, in my state, the cops aren’t allowed to arrest them either, BECAUSE the behavior is due to mental illness).

There’s some serious issues with our mental health system in the US.

Justice Alito questions possibility of political compromise in secret recording (apnews.com)

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is heard questioning whether compromise between the left and right is possible in a conversation posted on social media Monday. The conservative justice is also heard agreeing with a woman who says the United States should return “to a place of godliness.”...

Not sure I’ve ever heard Dawkins say religious people shouldn’t be allowed to get married or have kids… Let alone imprisoned or stoned to death

California socialite Rebecca Grossman sentenced to 15 to life for killing 2 kids in crosswalk (www.nbcnews.com)

A wealthy California woman who co-founded a burn center foundation in the Los Angeles area was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison Monday for the hit-and-run killings of two children while they were in a crosswalk more than three years ago....

Wes4Humanity ,

Booooo

Wes4Humanity ,

Yes, this is why… But of course the article doesn’t mention that… Which is shocking coming from a media conglomerate owned by a nepo rich white guy /s

Wes4Humanity ,

And instead of fighting the rich who are causing all of that, they’re dumb and blame immigrants… Like they’re told to… By the rich

Wes4Humanity ,

Apropos (youtu.be/9vWqTOtkYPo?si=i9bIwtuYQi2LkD9h)

Wes4Humanity ,

Because they’ll be extinct soon? :-(

Wes4Humanity ,

This is the internet… You might have to throw a /s after your comments, even if it’s obvious

Wes4Humanity ,

It sucks that we live in a world where it’s impossible to tell if this is real, complete nonsense, or a false flag operation.

Wes4Humanity ,

That average probably includes white people murderers getting a slap on the wrist. I wonder what it is if you just take the average of black/brown people’s sentences for murder

Should I permanently leave Israel?

I’m not sure if this is the right community for this question, but it says “no stupid question” so here goes. I’m an Israeli who now lives in the US, but I am considering permanently residing in the US or elsewhere (perhaps somewhere in Europe or Canada) because I’ve become kinda disillusioned with Israel for a variety...

Wes4Humanity ,

If you go back will you be forced to fight in the Israeli army? (Deal breaker as far as I’m concerned)

Hamas launches rocket attack towards Tel Aviv area (www.bbc.com)

Hamas says it has launched a rocket attack towards the Tel Aviv area in central Israel for the first time in nearly four months. At least eight rockets were launched from the Rafah area in southern Gaza and several were intercepted, the Israeli military says. No injuries have been reported.

Wes4Humanity ,

All of Israel is occupied Palestinian land

Wes4Humanity ,

It’s almost like Hamas is a puppet for Israel, designed to keep giving Israel an excuse to continue their genocide.

Wes4Humanity ,

And on the liberal side they do the same thing except conservatives are the scape goat. Super frustrating.

Wes4Humanity ,

The official 9/11 conspiracy theory… Literally would need to change the laws of physics for it to be true

Wes4Humanity ,

Yeah… The official theory from the Bush administration= a conspiracy theory… It defies logic and physics. Check it out if you’re interested

Wes4Humanity ,

That’s certainly a part of it

Wes4Humanity ,

That’s a big part of it… For me the smoking gun is building 7

Wes4Humanity ,

Yeah…I guess I just meant that average liberals tend to blame average conservatives instead of the rich (while average conservatives basically blame everyone who doesn’t conform to their exact ideals instead of the rich).

Not sure I agree that conservatives can both “choose” to be like they are, and also be the victims of their upbringing in a toxic system. These 2 points you made seem to be contradictory.

I agree many liberals fail to see that the average conservative is also a victim of this system, and that conservatives are brainwashed to think what they believe is a good thing.

I don’t think I made the comparison you’re saying I made. I’m sorry it came across that way. Calling out asshole conservatives for being assholes is fine as long as it’s with the understanding that they don’t know any better because the rich have them so brainwashed. And then follow it up by trying to convince them that the rich are the problem, not the immigrants etc. But to stop at blaming average conservatives, without recognizing the rich as the fundamental problem, I think, has the same end result as conservatives blaming everyone that’s even slightly different than them… No one points at the rich.

Wes4Humanity ,

Technically the choice exists for them… But if they’re never introduced to it can they be expected to know it exists? If every single person in their lives… Their parents, teachers, preachers, everyone they see on TV… Only ever feed them the same crap, and any dissent is not just discouraged, but dangerous. I’m not sure they really CAN choose you know? Now, there is a lot of willful ignorance as well… Don’t get me wrong. And obviously there’s a difference between not knowing you have a choice, and actually not having a choice.

Wes4Humanity ,

?

Wes4Humanity ,

Since the system is fixed, we don’t even really have the option to vote people in who are not absolute pieces of shit

Wes4Humanity ,

“any institution with an endowment as large as Harvard’s isn’t a school, it’s a hedge fund that offers classes, and should lose it’s tax exempt status”… Sorry I forget who said it, and I’m paraphrasing

Wes4Humanity ,

Hey! That’s the same reason I don’t like Israel!

(I also don’t like Hamas)

Wes4Humanity ,

Okay but seriously who’s out there, wringing their hands, trying to figure out if they’ll vote Trump or Biden? No one. If you’re voting for Trump, there is absolutely nothing Biden (or Trump for that matter) could do to change your mind. All those centrist neolibs in the swing states are going to vote for Biden regardless, because there’s no one else for them to vote for. The true “undecided voters” are undecided between showing up and just not showing up. And shit like this just pushes them closer to the not showing up position. Every time Biden panders to his already locked in centrist base, instead of trying to get progressives to show up for him, it should be considered a willful attempt to get Trump elected.

Wes4Humanity ,

Literally the same play that cost them the election the last time with Clinton.

Wes4Humanity ,

Assuming that’s correct; instead of pretending they’ll somehow magically all start understanding the “Trump threat” in the next 6 months, maybe Biden and the Dems should start actually giving them what they want. It’s not even a big ask. Just don’t do genocide. And definitely don’t do genocide and then say it’s not actual genocide. No one gives a fuck what you call it. Anyone with a conscience can see it’s wrong.

Anything short of giving young people whatever it takes to get them to show up for Biden is basically supporting Trump for president.

Wes4Humanity ,

I’ll look myself, but any chance you’ve found any research with numbers for these groups? Are there more progressives and young people deciding between show up or not show up, or more centrists deciding between Biden and Trump?

Wes4Humanity ,

Dear 800 pound 6 ounce newborn infant Jesus…

Wes4Humanity ,

You’re correct, pedophilia is a mental illness. A very tragic one since there is no hope and no cure. They can’t even ask for help because everyone will automatically assume they are also child molesters. Which is what you’re describing, but not all child molesters are pedophiles, and most pedophiles will never become child molesters… Like you said, some people just get off on exploiting the power dynamic and aren’t necessarily sexually attracted to children. Those people are the real danger.

Wes4Humanity ,

If the shoe fits

Wes4Humanity ,

And have to live in section 8 housing while in DC

Wes4Humanity ,

Should make voting a week long thing so people have more time to go. The last day should be a national holiday.

Wes4Humanity ,

Maybe we just need a mental competency exam of some kind… Like, I think Bernie is still thinking pretty clearly, but Trump, Boebert and Greene? Literally mentally ill… And not just to pick on Republicans; Biden is clearly senile, Clinton is clearly a sociopath

Wes4Humanity ,

They’ve already taken every dime we’ll make, plus every dime our children and grandchildren will make… That’s what the trillions of dollars in debt is.

US House votes to force weapons shipments to Israel, rebuking Biden (www.reuters.com)

The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill on Thursday that would force President Joe Biden to send weapons to Israel, seeking to rebuke the Democrat for delaying bomb shipments as he urges Israel to do more to protect civilians during its war with Hamas....

Wes4Humanity ,

Why would he have to sign it into law? He could veto it. Might even be just the excuse he needs to stop supporting a genocide. As if just supporting the genocide wasn’t enough, now he can say he’s not supporting the Republicans too.

Wes4Humanity ,

Mmmmm… Supporting genocide is sort of like being pregnant… You either are or you aren’t. There’s no acceptable level of supporting genocide. Or apartheid… Or pretty much anything Israel has done to the Palestinian people in the last 75ish years

Wes4Humanity ,

Who do they sell it to?

Wes4Humanity ,

Gotcha, thanks

Wes4Humanity ,

Hell, kings and queens should be prosecuted for crimes

US Lemmys what could Biden do in the next 6 months to EARN your vote? (other than just not being Trump)

Sorry this is kinda political. Is there an asklemmypolitics group this would be better for? I’m hoping not to get into the libs vs progressives political debate we see everywhere on here… Just want to know what people are actually looking for.

Wes4Humanity OP ,

So he already has done enough to earn your vote. In that case what was it he did that earned your support? (Besides not being Trump)

Wes4Humanity OP ,

How would you set up the UBI? Safety net, living wage, thriving wage?

Wes4Humanity OP ,

How so? I haven’t paid any attention to this

Wes4Humanity OP ,

Yes, obviously stopping Trump is the priority. But, that’s not the point of the question. Imagining Biden actually did have to earn your vote, what would he need to do?

Wes4Humanity OP ,

What if the “democracy” we think we have is actually just oligarchy putting on a show… And the only way to really get a democracy is if we fight for it, and Trump gets the fight going faster so we can get to democracy faster? Just a hypothetical, not advocating for this. Obviously a violent revolution would suck, especially considering the US was literally designed to make peaceful revolution relatively easy, but I think those designs have been crushed at this point… By the oligarchy

Wes4Humanity OP ,

I feel like Bernie was our shot at a new FDR… And the establishment was able to quash that. I hope we can still do it, but it feels like there’s very little hope for a non violent way to get to actual democracy

Wes4Humanity OP ,

That’s my understanding too… I meant OP personally. What level of UBI do you support?

Wes4Humanity OP ,

I would also say he’d need to make sure those subsidies actually went to innovation and growth and not just in fat cat’s pockets.
