P.d0t posted:I'm no expert or anything, but I think some of the talk a few pages back kinda has the right idea; the best way to mitigate Trumpism is to basically engage with people susceptible to it, in a meaningful way -- just actually address their concerns from your political angle. I'm still not sure how much of Trumps victory is actual KKK style racism vs panicked xenophobia from people who've seen their livelihoods decline year after year for decades. They have nobody to turn to and nowhere to go and so they pressed the big orange button. Calling them racists and bigots, while true to an undetermined extent, does gently caress all to change things. If you want to die with the rest of the world miserable and right it's a great choice though.

OSI bean dip posted:The death of progressivism will be by the left and not the right. Those in rural areas have lost a lot in the past decade in terms of jobs and way of life and nothing has done to help them other than "if we do this then in 30 years we'll be back to where we need to be" when in reality the jobs have been lost in a third of that time. If the left does nothing to address this then the racist and bigoted manifestations that come from not living in diverse areas will become dominant. Pretend I quoted this every loving page. Can't wait to see CI's plans for rural genocide though

OSI bean dip posted:The way to addressing this is simple: you're not going to get them to stop being dipshitted bigots and racists by shaming them. If that were to work, then Trump's remarks about grabbing women by their genitals would have sunk him into levels that would have never gotten him elected. The only way you'll get these people onboard with leftist ideals is to not shame them about their behaviour and find ways to make their behaviour irrelevant. 100% agreed. I have some reaaal goddamn rural family and when times are good they don't seem to care much about social issues other than some grumbling. On the other hand when times are bad they'll screen at the top of their lungs about it and also, in my experience, drink a lot and get arrested trying to jump over Niagara falls.

The Butcher posted:In principle, I agree, but there really should be some point when someone is publicly saying "I've figured out how I want to kill myself and I'm going to do it soon" that we can yank them and force drugs and counseling on them for a bit. You're assuming drugs and therapy actually work though1, but the truth is that suicide has been on a consistent climb and most of the science out there shows that few pharmacological interventions have any long term effect on suicide prevention, barring certain exceptions like severe mood disorders I'm not trying to call you out in particular, but the general public's "I hope they get the help they need!" is really aggravating to me. The truth is that the only intervention that has any significant effect on suicide outcomes is just removing any way for someone to commit suicide. That's a bromide at best and realistically is just imprisoning someone with their depression. If this is a dialogue we want to have as a society we need to understand that few things we do on this front actually work because most of the time suicide is caused by an individual internalizing problems with society. Feeling atomized and alone, worrying about the future and being able to support oneself, feeling worthless; these are often problems that society inflict on someone and then that person is gently told it's their fault they're isolated and alone. The uncomfortable truth is that if we really care at all about people and suicide we need to drastically restructure the way society runs. I know most people in this thread know that but acting like mental health is somehow separate from societies other woes (capitalism) is naive. (1) Therapy has better outcomes long term but it doesn't really work in a crisis, once someone has arrived at the place ChairMaster is at. There's some newer emergency pharma interventions that are promising but by and large most antidepressants do not work, sometimes performing worse than placebo and often disrupting and harming vital systems in the body Moist von Lipwig fucked around with this message at 14:33 on Mar 19, 2019 |
