OwlFancier posted:Not really sure that dom cummies and the idiot squad are particularly personally powerful though. They're literally the bottom of the barrel of tory morons. Robert Mueller was going to bring down Trump. Institutions will never save us, and I genuinely don't understand how anyone thinks the courts or the police are ever going to ride over the hill to rescue us. I guess it's less that the tories are powerful, and more that no-one will ever take the leap to do anything about their pissing on every line they come across

Josef bugman posted:I think the problem is the way in which it is difficult to think good things about folks when you don't think good things about yourself alongside a culture that now glorifies callousness in the name of profit and has begun to devour itself. Kindness is considered weird and threatening to so many folks, especially in media, because it is so antithetical to how they got ahead. Yeah. Sorry, I've not slept for five nights and have had a poo poo week. It's amazing how much mood changes outlook, isn't it? It's almost scary how malleable it is. I'm out shopping and it's packed and I hate everyone around me and hate that I hate them. If I was rested I'd feel the complete opposite. Even in the depths of misanthropy though I'll never ever compromise on my beliefs tho. gently caress cynics.

The fact that this isn't the rule for 99% of jobs blows my loving mind. It's so obviously better for everyone.

Josef bugman posted:That does seem worryingly prescient, and I think also helps to illustrate why Neo-Liberal economic systems are starting to come apart. With greater access to peoples internal thoughts via things like twitter it is becoming increasingly obvious that there is no consistent intellectual power justifying people in charge being there. It's seeing the wizard without the curtain as it were. Surely the collapse/pantsing of the neoliberal consensus isn't something to be worried about, but to be celebrated though? Also the 'please like me' underlying motivation is fairly plausible, and also, like that great Mark Fisher article points out, very likely a product of our psychotic boarding/private school system

AceOfFlames posted:I loving did. I believe I mentioned several times how one time I even explicitly told her about how I believe the world is irreversably hosed, society will collapse and I am just waiting for every one who cares about me to die so I can kill myself and she merely looked at me blank faced and asked "In that case, why are you even in therapy?" Sounds like a pretty lovely therapist to me. Maybe try another TACD posted:Quite often I feel like giving up on fighting depression and just accepting that everything is going to be poo poo until I kill myself but seeing that philosophy written down is kind of inspiring as a reminder that its still worth fighting to be happier every exhausting stupid day, so thanks for this. Same. I don't think I'll ever be a hopeful person but I'm not going to stop trying to apply myself as if I am. A think a big part of being a (relatively) well-realised person is to stare absolute defeat in the eye and saying 'gently caress you, I'll fight til I die regardless'. It's irrational but then so are most things we do

AceOfFlames posted:That's essentially what she said. But how the hell is that supposed to help? At best you sound like you are calling your patient a liar at worst you sound like an utter psychopath. She was trying to find a chink in the wall of absolute despair and apathy you've built around yourself, and make you realise that maybe there was another way of thinking about things. I revise my earlier assessment that she was a bad therapist; she just didn't realise the depth of your addiction to misery, it would've worked on someone less dedicated to being utterly supine

Also in for banning the tweetman. She's an irrelevance it's annoying. Sorry T-Painz So if Johnson gets rid of purdah, does that mean MPs would have to stick around parliament to vote on poo poo? Could this shake out worse for the tories, given the vast disparity in ground game between the two parties? Could Labour/Momentum pick up the slack in a way their dessicated base simply can't?
