If you can climb a rope, the poles that Flock use are narrow enough to be climbed the same way

FlipAnarchy: Insults don't belong in rules

Rhetoric can be shallow aesthetics.

It certainly can be, but it isn't when we're talking about dehumanizing groups of people.

I could also talk about liking dogs or being shit at everything. Would that make me a nazi?

What

I think there are things, including being lost to fascism or cult liberalism, that make you subhuman.

Please consider reflecting on this. It's fucking bananas.

Really that rhetoric isnt perfect but perfect accuracy is a luxury not often available in public conversations. 'Not a person, but an object with all the frailties of biology and none of the ways its cool. I dont mean to disparage other species'.

Do you think I'm calling you out on this because I'm vegan? Bc that has nothing to do with it. If that's not what you're getting at, I have no idea what you mean by this.

You can take your magical bullshit shortcut thinkingThats fine, until it leads you to very unfortunate conclusions or cognitive dissonance.

Is the conclusion / cognitive dissonance you're implying that you think I would hesitate to kill a fascist because I don't see them as subhuman? I don't need to dehumanize my enemies to be willing to fight them.

To be clear, this is my best guess because the primary purpose of dehumanizing a group of people is to justify eliminating them.

I assume you do it because somebody told you that was nice.

You assume that I don't dehumanize people because someone said that not dehumanizing groups of people is nice? I avoid it because it's fascist behaviour

I would rather be correct than nice. Its a value i have.

What on earth does this have to do with being correct? Do you literally believe some groups of human are "less human" than others? I assumed you were at least speaking metaphorically

And it often leads to doing nice things, but without the feeling of being fake as fuck.

I'm having trouble following your train of thought. What are you implying?

Do you really believe that rhetoric is shallow aesthetics, and using Nazi rhetoric is fine if on the inside you're secretly not a Nazi?

Or is your response just a good ole non sequitur

The Nazi rhetoric, if you couldn't make the connection, was you referring to people as "subhuman filth."

I'm mostly concerned with the Nazi rhetoric- the transphobia was just the cherry on top

I have had more productive conversations with a literal nazi

subhuman filth

Why do pronouns matter?... Fuck off with that shit.

Holy smokes what an unsurprising arc

Ah okay, I understand- we agree on this

Tbc, I was just making a joke along the same lines as gen x being left out of the discourse between millennials and boomers

But by representation in memes, I meant being directly called out in memes. I agree that the focus on "eat the rich" over "seize the means of production" can be bad, and overlooking the petty bourgeois can have problematic implications

It was a bit of a tongue in cheek thing as well though bc I belong to the petty bourgeois (although I don't own capital or employ others)

What are your thoughts on apolitical people?

Hmm. I think maybe I have a fundamental misunderstanding of anarcho-antirealism? I'd suspect a large theoretical overlap between the former and illegalism, egoism, critical/anti-psychiatry, etc, but I'm surprised to see that we seem to have a fundamental difference of perspective here, on a narrow subject that manages to encapsulate all of the above

Maybe it's my tankie bone telling me that those ASPD-identifying people don't know what's really in their own self interest. You respect their perspective as their reality (and demonstrate that by adopting it? or no?), whereas I would, at most, agree to disagree with those people. The latter, to me, feels antirealist, but I can see how this maybe isn't in the true spirit of anarcho-antirealism.

I'm curious what You think about this

What are your thoughts on apolitical people?

To be clear, I absolutely agree that NPD is/has a real pathology, and is a disability. Under the hood, it's most often a trauma-related disorder of self-security. Like Trump, I only don't meet NPD criteria myself bc it doesn't impair my life

I guess I'm mostly just surprised to see You taking ASPD at face value in the first place, unlike the critical way You approach NPD. I would expect that if one takes an anarcho-antirealist approach, the conclusion would be that the ASPD diagnosis doesn't serve the individual, but rather serves the state, and ought to be discarded. I worry that normalizing the ASPD label is likely to subvert the notion that smashing the state is good and that people should do so without remorse.

I imagine, however, this difference in perspective comes down to a macro lens vs a micro lens. For an individual stuck with the diagnosis on their medical documentation, leaning into it and wielding it might be in their best interest. As their provider, however, I would encourage them not to identify with that label, and to let me write a rule out diagnosis for their file, removing the label from their documentation. Of course, if they disagreed, I would just pivot to trying to further foster the empowerment of it.

If I met someone like You described, finding themself acting without thinking, regretting it, and wishing they could better mind social boundaries to improve their wellbeing, but without an existing ASPD diagnosis, I would likely explore other relevant diagnoses, like ADHD, ASD, BPD, etc.

What are your thoughts on apolitical people?

I'm curious how You reconcile this perspective with anarcho-antirealism..? Specifically with regards to Your apparent realist view of the law and psychopathology, it seems incongruent to me.

Regardless of how You manage that, however, as an anarchist psychotherapist who (still, currently) meets dx criteria for ASPD (and yet has never been apolitical), I honestly find this kinda problematic.

ASPD isn't a disability- it's a made-up label created to pathologize criminality. Pretty much any anarchist or ADHDer who's been to jail will meet diagnostic criteria for ASPD (and in fact up to 2/3 of prisoners meet the criteria)

Being apolitical, even in the sense that complicit centrists mean it, is arguably much worse than meeting ASPD criteria. Your article has a tone of standing up for the disabled, but ends up further demonizing ASPD imo

I've read and enjoyed 3 or 4 of Your articles on NPD, but I was disappointed not to see a similar approach to / perspective on ASPD. Why the difference?

[Request] [Discussion] Belly band holsters?

Lol, I end up accidentally doing deep concealment anyway once I've been out and about for a bit 😅 I currently keep the chamber empty, but it would be nice to have something secure enough to allow for both quick access and leaving it chambered.

Meeting all my desires really seems to leave the PHLster as the only option, so I'm convinced 😌
