Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL: In the Soviet Union, they considered being against the state a mental illness and would lock you up for the crime of being mentally illEnglish
11·2 days agoHow about liberalism + actual mental illness, is that dangerous?
(Or any ism for that matter.)

7·3 days agoI’ve seen “conservativism is a mental disease” too. People love that shit.

1·3 days agoProve what? That’s literally how moderation works. (And more generally, and I was speaking generally, it’s how certain undesirable forms of nation-governance work too)
So, seriously, am I wrong?

Sounds like a case of past life memory.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Feminism in 60s was co-opted by the wealthy and powerful as a distractionEnglish
1·4 days agoThat’s one of those new social engineering tricks they came up with. Co-opt all the subcultures and subvert them into obedient puppets and you won’t have to fight them later.
I guess the peace movements and protests made the aristocrats feel insecure.
And now the height of rebellion is purple hair and transgenderism.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•modern identity culture is synthetic, inorganic and manipulativeEnglish
11·5 days agoSorry, present company excepted. Your identity is surely from the heart. And any concordance with the rest of the population is purely coincidental.

2·4 days agoI doubt that. I think I’m being pretty clear.
But ya. Identity is a product now. Designed in a laboratory like a phone. Sold like a tshirt.
You shop for an identity then you buy it. Now you know how to think and speak. What to love and what to hate. Who is your people and who is those other people. And the people who sold it to you know where your buttons are.


When you don’t understand a thing, your first reaction is to assume that it is wrong and bad. Funny eh?
