You shouldn't blame Zionism on a mental illness. Zionism is a choice to be awful.

Faith isn’t the reason, it’s the excuse

[-] Genius@lemmy.zip 10 points 11 months ago

I didn't say it was faith either. It's not mental illness or faith.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 19 points 11 months ago

To be fair the OP didn’t call it mental illness either. They said something was wrong with them as a person.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

It is a conscious decision to commit genocide, using Judaism as a cover to protect them from criticism. Intentionally bombing children does mean something is wrong with you IMO

[-] Genius@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago

They said they oppose genocide because they're not a psychop*th. That's not appropriate language. We don't use slurs, and we don't blame Zionism on ASPD.

... Psychopath is a slur?

[-] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Are bad/lacking morals a mental illness? Seriously, at what point do we draw the line? It's a curious topic.

[-] Genius@lemmy.zip 15 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

No, they're not. When psychologists become the arbiters of correct morality and pathologise disagreement, society is fucked.

You're thinking of what happens when good people make the rules. But what if people like Freud were in charge of calling certain moral values illnesses? We already have enough problems with things like homosexuality being called a mental illness. What if Trump Derangement Syndrome were in the DSM?

IDK but I've definitely self-diagnosed with it.

It’s working it’s way in there. Give it a few more years and they’ll be able to institutionalize us for TDS.

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

That's not what she does. Being a bad person or even being a psychopath is not considered a mental illness.

[-] Genius@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 months ago

In a certain sense you're right; psychop*th is Greek for "suffering soul". It's supposed to just refer to the abstract idea of mental illness. But in practice, it's a slur against ASPD. And even if that weren't the case, using the Greek word for mentally ill person as an insult is disgusting behaviour.

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I'm talking about psychology, not history. Sociopathy is not considered an illness.
