A very brief history of conceptual psychoabuse

Friday, 31 May, Year 5 d.Tr. | Author: Mircea Popescu

I. Female hysteria.i

pelvicdoucheWomen are sexuate mammals. As such a significant portion of their body and consequently a significant portion of their mind exists for and is dedicated to sexual behaviour.

Late Victorian / early XXth century white society was puritanical, which is to say antisocialii. As such a significant portion of its intellectual and physical energy was dedicated to suppressing female sexual behaviour.

These two had to come into conflict. For the record, the first is in the right and the second is in the wrong. The conflict was temporarily resolved by introducing an abusive diagnosis of female hysteria, chiefly diagnosed on the criterion "woman causes trouble" and definitively resolved by the complete physical destruction and absolute intellectual rejection of Victorian puritanism.

When societal majority decided to go against nature the short term result was abuse and the long term effect complete destruction of the abusers.

II. Психушка.

Nature presents itself in an infinite phenomenological array which can not be reduced to a single explanatory or predictive notation.

The Politburo of the Soviet Union decided that a defined set of thinkers have arrived at a single notation that is both explanatory and predictive over the entire field of natural phenomena.

These two had to come into conflict. For the record, the first is well proven, mathematical and philosophical fact whereas the second is pure rubbish. The conflict was temporarily resolved by introducing an abusive diagnosis of "slow-acting schizophrenia" and constructing an entire pseudoscientific discipline, alongside dedicated hospitals called психушка, all on the basis of "person causes trouble". The conflict was definitively resolved by the complete physical destruction and absolute intellectual rejection of Soviet socialism.

When societal majority decided to go against nature the short term result was abuse and the long term effect complete destruction of the abusers.

III. Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.

Children are born nude into the world, and consequently spend the first couple of decades of their existence arduously seeking that with which to arm their body, that with which to drape their mind. This ardor is biologically supported, children benefitting from adequate metabolism capable of disbursing significantly more energy, from significantly larger immune footprintiii and from intellectual disinterest in the forms and formalisms that satisfy adults.

The Englishiv Welfarism fashionable today in the United States and their dependenciesv proposes that form is sufficient answer for any and all human needs.vi

These two had to come into conflict. The conflict is currently being papered over by introducing an abusive diagnosis of Advanced Dungeons & Dragonsvii on the clinical basis of "child causes trouble". There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that just like the others, this conflict will also be definitively resolved by the complete physical destruction and absolute intellectual rejection of English Welfarism. Not just by everyone else, but even by they who happen to be speaking English as their only language and never have left their English speaking corral.

They say that science differs from intellectual masturbation through its predictive power. I subscribe. We shall see.

  1. Depicted, left, one of the "cures" for this "female hysteria" : pressure massaging the "pelvis". If you're a girl and ever played in the shower I imagine you understand directly how this cure worked and why. Other alternatives were vibrators and spanking, in a word BDSM. []
  2. Anything that lacks consideration for others and damages natural society is antisocial. Notice that the definition of society is not alterable by any representative mechanisms, natural society is not "that upon which some well chosen people agree". []
  3. The adult atrophy of the thymus being a fine example. []
  4. It is quite specifically English. See for instance Marilyn Wedge's Why French Kids Don't Have ADHD on Psychology Today. []
  5. The previously independent United Kingdom, Australia, Canada etc. []
  6. See, illustratively, how the American niggers have resolved any current or even possible race issues by banning the word nigger, see the very Soviet tendency to resolve unemployment, homelessness etc by calling them something else, see the firmly held belief that a "college education" exists through and is measured by a college diploma, that well being is parked in the driveway and so on and so forth. []
  7. For that matter a cursory look through the ever more amusing Gamemaster's Manual (the DSM) by one with a modicum of actual knowledge in this field (which sadly excludes the vast majority of American practitioners active today - as was the case throughout most of the history of this unfortunate discipline) is guaranteed to amuse above and beyond anything the funny papers can manage. Consider "mania", meanwhile no longer the clinical behaviour of inability to breathe past speech but redefined into the ultimate "person causes trouble", consider the ever amusing "antisocial" personality "types", you have material there to laugh a summer.

  1. Of course it has more to do with schooling than welfare.
    schooling = what fish do, not education.

    Welfare = free but useless schools improperly baptised "education" ; free but unusable when they're not useless "public services" ; free but useless and unusable everything else. Free as in pointless, free as in ineffectual.

  3. hmm free but not costless ... they still want your pound of flesh fiat to pay for em.

    They do not use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or DSM.According to Sociologist Manuel Vallee, the French Federation of Psychiatry developed an alternative classification system as a resistance to the influence of the DSM-3. This alternative was the CFTMEA (Classification Française des Troubles Mentaux de L'Enfant et de L'Adolescent), first released in 1983, and updated in 1988 and 2000.

    Which is not an argument per se, but the french 'if we can't invent it, we will change it and make it french, because we are civilization'.

    French psychiatry occurs in that language. Practically the choices are to either translate someone else's or make your own. The choice to make your own is more expensive but yields better quality results. Since France is large enough and rich enough to afford it, this happens to also be the correct solution.

  7. In a massive synch wink todays headlines:
    http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/05/31/neuroscientists-bold-assertion-islamic-radicals-cultists-and-parents-who-hit-their-kids-could-soon-be-cured/

    "Somebody who has for example become radicalised to a cult ideology — we might stop seeing that as a personal choice that they have chosen as a result of pure free will and may start treating it as some kind of mental disturbance."

    Lmao. My predictions!!!

  9. Read the article, thought youre exagerating as per usual. Googled mania, found "Altman Self-Rating Mania Scale",

    Because this scale is compatible with the CARS-M, YMRS, and DSM-IV diagnostic criteria, it can be used effectively as a screening and diagnostic instrument despite its brevity.

    The five questions:

    Positive Mood
    I do not feel happier or more cheerful than usual.
    I occasionally feel happier or more cheerful than usual.
    I often feel happier or more cheerful than usual.
    I feel happier or more cheerful than usual most of the time.
    I feel happier or more cheerful than usual all of the time.
    Self-Confidence
    I do not feel more self-confident than usual.
    I occasionally feel more self-confident than usual.
    I often feel more self-confident than usual.
    I feel more self-confident than usual.
    I feel extremely self-confident all of the time.
    Sleep Patterns
    I do not need less sleep than usual.
    I occasionally need less sleep than usual.
    I often need less sleep than usual.
    I frequently need less sleep than usual.
    I can go all day and night without any sleep and still not feel tired.
    Speech
    I do not talk more than usual.
    I occasionally talk more than usual.
    I often talk more than usual.
    I frequently talk more than usual.
    I talk constantly and cannot be interrupted.
    Activity Level
    I have not been more active (either socially, sexually, at work, home or school) than usual.
    I have occasionally been more active than usual.
    I have often been more active than usual.
    I have frequently been more active than usual.
    I am constantly active or on the go all the time.

    My answers: 2, 5, 2, 1, 2.

    The assesment:

    Your score was 7 out of a possible 20.

    Scores in the 6 - 20 range are highly likely to indicate manic symptoms
    (with increasing severity as scores rise).

    Hopefully there's a cure for pseudoscience somewhere.

    Dear Anon,
    Thank you for writing to MP's psychocolumn. From your answers I see that you occasionally feel happier or more cheerful than usual, occasionally need less sleep than usual, do not talk more than usual and have occasionally been more active than usual. Leaving aside the problematic meaning of the word "usual", especially in constructions such as "each number in the set is larger than the set average", these are very serious problems and I hope you will take whatever steps necessary to address them immediately.

    As to the feeling extremely self-confident all of the time, there is nothing to be concerned about.

    But if psychiatry is a failure, isn't making your own a bad investment? That 4% difference isn't that much, maybe French Muslim men are into moar beating the child than taking him to le cabinet.

    But is guess in socialism l'etat assumes all damage anyway and that was actually the target. Platim datoria externa.

    YMRS is not much better on paper. Euphoric, inappropriate laughter, singing + Motor excitement; continuous hyperactivity (cannot be calmed) + Overt sexual acts + Hostile, uncooperative + Completely unkempt; decorated; bizarre garb + Denies any behavior change = normal teenagers anywhere. Also 28/60 points on that scale, well over the 21 threshold.

    The hope there is that as YMRS is to be administered by qualified clinicians only it would avoid misrepresenting normal adolescent rambunctiousness as clinically relevant. That hope sort-of flies in the face of the pecuniary interest of said qualified clinicians and relies on an expectation of medicine being a liberal profession - perhaps not so very much unlike expecting 16 year old girls to be named Rapunzel, live alone in a tower and grow very very long hair.

    @Karl-Sigmund Word.

    @Vexare Snorting, whispering and general dork douchery is neither overt nor sexual.

    Doesn't matter, it contains the word sexual so it must be something wrong. It's also overt, so think about the children viewing something bad.

    “Karmen Hanson, program manager at the National Conference of State Legislatures, said just about every state is looking at some aspect of mental health care, and about two dozen have introduced targeted legislation this year. … The state bills mostly fall into three broad categories: boosting funding, broadening the rules for court-ordered treatment or commitment, and putting in place duty-to-warn standards for mental health professionals to report patients that could be a threat to themselves or others.”
