“The Trump 2020 campaign is reportedly using a shell company to buy ads in coordination with the National Rifle Association, using the same potentially illegal techniques as the 2016 campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Citing FCC records, the center reports that the 2020 campaign has “continued to deploy the same individuals” who ran their 2016 ad buys in coordination with the NRA.”
A take people could have but choose not to: The prevalence of what is classified as “sociopathic behavior” actually seems to function as a description of a large part of the population with the only real difference between the average person and a “crazy” person is discursive and usually the product of material conditions.
The take people instead choose to have: It’s so scary that we’ve allowed actual crazy people into positions of power and authority. We must extend the reach of the medical industrial complex so that no one, not even our elected officials and business leaders, can escape its disciplinary power!
Just had to think again, after finding myself ranting about things that happened when I was in high school all these years later. And realizing again just how messed up some of my mother’s behavior and expectations really were sometimes.
Gee, maybe one contributing factor might be that I couldn’t talk about things that were bothering me at the time? Or really even safely express that things did bother me? So come back decades later, and some of this stuff still feels fresh whenever it’s brought to mind again.
And yes, that would be with too many years of the kind of forced/coerced therapy aimed at fixing you where you’re not really the client. (Some more earlier discussion of conflicts of interest there.) Making the whole thing at least 20x worse.
No damned wonder I had a lot of spectacular meltdowns for a while there, until I learned to turn them into shutdowns for my own protection. (Including to avoid getting locked up some more. That looked pretty crazy on its own, but at least being quieter about it is less likely to get you locked up IME. Definitely dealing with my mother.)
But yeah, this is another of those things where I’m not even primarily pissed off on my own behalf. Even though keeping dealing with delayed fallout isn’t much fun.
That basic situation is unfortunately far from unusual for people growing up. Especially ND/disabled people. And nobody should be placed in that sort of position. It’s very disturbing how often this does seem to happen.
honestly this is why Assassins Creed cosplayers are my favourite cosplayers because you’re never sure when one of them is gonna just bust out the parkour but you know at least one of them in a group can do it.
Are you sure they are not Actual Assassins?
modern day Assassins dress as historical assassin to blend in a crowd of cosplayers and #remain_undetected
none of the people even turned when he did that, too, so I’m convinced we’re either living in a simulation or that was an actual assassin
