No all around.. I mean your right you dont create layers of excuses or stigma, but you also dont "focus on the sociopath" as a mental illness and leave out all the other mental illness that is equally at play.

No the solution is simple, you make mental health accessible, you encourage **everyone** to see a psychiatrist, talk, and work on yourself. You create these same environments in the home...

You do it without stigmas and without the intent of taking away rights or punishing someone for havin a mental illness.. you focus on good happy, healthy people, everything else will come from that as needed.

@intransitivelie

I am saying that in order to carry out acts of violence you must be mentally ill. Healthy well functioning people dont behave that way.

@sidereal @StillIRise1963

@StillIRise1963 @Vincarsi @sidereal

yea no thats just wrong. Anyone who can behave in a racist way in the modern world is mentally ill.. In fact I'd go so far as to say anyone who is cruel and evil to others is mentally ill, no exceptions.

@Vincarsi @sidereal @StillIRise1963

> It's a comforting myth to believe that people only do this kind of stuff because they're not functioning properly.

If you want to kill people then you already arent "functioning properly"... if your mental health issue is the result of your dad being a piece of shit and pouring racist shit on you, that is still mental health.

I suspect you are confusing genetic disorders you are born with with behavior disorders that result in exposure with an unhealthy environment.

@YakyuNightOwl

Sure, I certainly agree children should have ample access to mental health.

Thing is it doesnt work that way. Most people with mental illness will never be diagnosed, especially when they arent seeking it out. Even when someone thinks they have a mental illness it can take many sessions and back and forth and several failed diagnosis before you settle on some diagnosis. Now if someone is resisting the process, well there isnt much hope.

Its not about identifying and "flagging" the mentally ill, that is just adding a taboo. What we need to do is offer talk therapy (and access to medication if needed) to address their mental health issues and be healthier better members of society, regardless of if their mental health issues is tagged with a specific name or condition.

@realcaseyrollins

Presuming they are doing it due to a water shortage then it sounds like it is still the result of climate change.

@sidereal

Nah, They arent just related, they are nearly 100% related.. if you are violent you are almost certainly mentally ill, regardless of diagnosis (in fact I'd say the vast majority of mentally ill people dont have a formal diagnosis and may never get one).

The relationship is one way though. While being violent virtually garuntees mental illness, being mentally ill is not suggested of violence.

@StillIRise1963

@sidereal

Thats some broken logic. Just because virtually all people who are violent have mental health issues does **not** mean that simply because you have a mental health issue you are violent or more likely to be violent.

You are sick of gun violence, great, being mentally doesnt mean you get to speak for all mentally ill people.

@StillIRise1963

@StillIRise1963 These arent mutual exclusive... If someone wants to be a terrorist, that is a mental health issue. Anyone who behaves this way has mental health issues.

@chris usually if its just water its only temporary.. leave it upside down in a warm dry place for 3 days and will usually recover just fine.

@rchrd except with more than one mechanation going and all of them breaking the chain contantly but accidentally falling onto other chains and starting them

@kemal hmm that is odd. People have moved before. What error you get?

@arctangent i kinda figured as much. Though wome smell like smoke and not tobacoo

@kemal if its calkey thats inte tional from the calkey side. They are very aggressive with blocking so if you try to kove your followers youll likely get a lot of errors if they move at all. You coukd always hope to a server that doesnt block aggresively first and loose fewer and the move might work. Youl will always loose a few because qoto has a large footprint (we federate with a lot of servers)

@TruthSandwich

Lol thats almost as idiotic as "women deserve to be raped if they dress like that"

@shoq

@TruthSandwich

Says the master of bad takes. You claiming something I say is a bad take is the best indicator I have that its not.
