So go out and vode, eh

Even worse, it seems clear to me that news outlets squash stories of self immolation. They did the same with the ‘activist’ who did it on earth day a few years ago, and it wouldn’t surprise me to find out that major media outlets have had the same mandate to hide these stories since vietnamese monks were doing it to protest the vietnam war.

Sounds like harlan ellison’s “i have no mouth and i must scream” but in a lame chud way

I was trying to read Anti-oedipus by Deleuze& Guattari, but now I’m actually reading their “what is philosophy” since I was pretty fucking lost. Maybe not lost, but not exactly prepared for the density.

I’ve been saying all marketing is just black magick. Manipulation, lying, hypnosis, etc. Makes sense to me, anyway.

Unfortunately no, animal agriculture (& really therefore all agriculture, since most food grown on earth currently goes to feeding livestock) actually is the main culprit for greenhouse gas emissions. The oil & transport cartels are the reason theres too many cars, and the parking lots heat up entire cities by 20+ degrees. It’s a big part of it. Planes, and water shipping have impacts too. But yea, in a literal way agriculture is indeed the main driver of climate change.

Yea totally! Being able to point the blame somewhere accurately instead of internalizing our lack of success as some personal failure is pretty nice.

For starters it’s an offshoot of cognitive behavior therapy. So it’s not like analysis, it’s more like working through patterns and defining alternatives. The process of learning it felt like learning a skill, not being analized in that way. It was about gaining tools to do my own work. An example of how i use DBT is like when i feel like an imposter as an organizer i remind myself what i’ve accomplished already. Then boom, just from talking to myself i feel better, and as a bonus i used it to make myself more ready to revolt.

here’s a link explaining it better than i can.

Also, in general i agree with you comrade, just wanted to add that important nuance. Systemically therapy is a shit sandwich. All my therapists have been total libs too, but theyve also been nothing but encouraging and validating for me personally. Caution at the potential for abuse is very wise, indeed.

…and i agreed i was lucky to have a good one. Im confused by your statement, tho. DBT is a dialectical approach, not a contradiciton in itself. What? Pessimism v optimism is a mental health dialectic.

My point in the first place was a dialectic thought antithetical to yours. Not an argument, so we can chill. You basically said therapy here isn’t therapy its subjectivication, and i said sometimes therapy is good. Thats a dialectic contradiction. Synthesis? Idk revolution in healthcare.
