Soviet ‘psychiatry’ rides again. Dissent is reclassified as illness. Funny now, terrifying when (as I fear) this sinister rubbish becomes official wisdom.

Personal autonomy getting defined as a personality disorder?

Says those asserting bodily autonomy against the whims of oppresive corporate overlords have no empathy while unable to empathize with anyone who disagrees. ??

I'm sure I've been called antisocial plenty through my life. Hey, I don't like masks either.

There were plenty of people that thought I was nuts as a kid. I just thank my parents for not buying into it all and filling me full of drugs to make me conform like is done to so many other kids. I think partly I was saved by the fact I tended to not be openly disruptive (i.e. disrupting the class) so I was able to fly under the radar.

Looking back as I got older, gained life experience, did some traveling, etc., I'm not so sure I ever had any disorders and it was just all crap made up by people who wanted to "fix" me. I just don't do things only for the sake of social conformity or scoring social points. Social confirmation means nothing to me. There's loads of social things I do though, but because they are enjoyable experiences. Not because I win some social credit score.

I think back to some of my traveling and favorite moments come from unexpected fun social interaction for example. Things that aren't forced. There's loads of examples on the flip-side though--I don't drink much, I get no positive outcome from it and it makes no sense to me. Social activity is heavily geared around alcohol consumption though, so don't do it and you're a weird antisocial. Dating is effing stupid too, and it's not because I hate women or whatever, it's because of what it's become. Dating feels like prostitution to me a lot of times, buy all their shit, they offer their pussy. Get tired of me, goodbye and hope we never got married or I'll take half your shit. I just got sick of it all, so I don't bother, and of course that makes me a weird antisocial.

So yeah, I guess if not wanting to wear a piece of cloth on my face for the sake of others acceptance is antisocial, count me in.

Psychology once again is being used by the powers to be to brand behavior they don't like as a "disorder"

Meanwhile gender dysphoria is not a disorder.

The 'study' though, was conducted with 1573 Brazilian adults. So it's literally nothing, it's not even a valid study. Let me know when they've tested 150,000+ from several countries around the world.

I mean it's a good representation of Brazilian adults. But it was most likely also done by a bunch of green haired freaks.

I really thought you were going for a "1,573 brazilian" joke as an obvious exaggeration. It took me two or three reads to realize you were actually talking about people from Brazil...

1573 is a perfectly reasonable sample size if the sample is unbiased and random.

The difficulty is getting the "unbiased" and "random" parts correct.

Sure; if the title was "linked to personality disorders in Brazilian Adults" I would have much less issue with it.

“N-no, WE aren’t the mentally deficient, it’s YOU! NOYOU!” The increasingly deranged Democrat PR wing screams

Now study the people burning down cities whenever police try to arrest an armed black criminal.

Im shocked that a personality quiz found that people are pissed off that known pseudoscience is being used to force people into subjugation. Maybe another doctor could tell us how wearing a mask for hours on end and breathing in high amounts of warm water vapor that bacteria thrive in wont make us sick. Legionnaires disease has a 5-10% mortality rate and thrives in these forced conditions. TB, Pneumonia, Meningitis, Whooping Cough, Measles, and the Cocci strains all thrive in the environment created from wearing masks. Btw, cryptococcosis kills 2/3s of those infected.

I have 2 reason for why I dont personally wear a mask:

  1. I have Asthma.... I can barely breath as it is without some piece of cloth blocking my airways (this reason alone grants me a medical exemption, though it doesnt stop police in Victoria from arresting people with asthma for not wearing masks)

  2. I find the notion of being "muzzled" to be downright humiliating and dehumanising... we have any absolute FUCK TONNE of information telling us that (in the case of Covid transmission) surgical masks do sweet fuck to the point that its ON THE SIDE OF THE PACKAGING!!!

When science becomes politically charged we have a big problem. And i'm someone who isn't even against masks, ( though i dont agree with forcing masks on people) . I already knew they were full of B.S when they started taking post modernist positions on things especially when certain things are clearly not "social constructs" but they act as if it is.
