have you read "on being sane in insane places"?
This book/movie wasn't far off from the truth

>asylums are just holding pens for otherwise-harmless/functional goofballs
it's true in most cases

>uh yeah but did you know that there's a slight possibility someone autistically obsessed with you could find a way to section you?
sounds like the usual leftoid cope

Have you ever been to a psych ward? With the exception of extreme cases, the staff are actually more dangerous than the inmates

>>18546565
it was just prison without due process, anon, the staff literally couldn't distinguish sane from insane people

The book is so much better, but yes we need to open the asylums back up and throw every single troon and gachafag into the basement.

We cannot distinguish murderers from petty thieves therefore we shouldn’t discriminate between them.

JFK used the book to justify emptying the insane asylums didn't they?

Because shitlib civil rights lawyers made it nearly impossible to get someone involuntarily committed to a mental hospital short of being an immediate threat to their own and/or another person's life.

There's a darkly hilarious story about the ACLU in NYC that ended with them forcing the release of a homeless schizophrenic..that ended with her freezing to death on the streets a couple days after being released

yes we can? we have trials and everything?what are you even going on about?>>18547357
the asylums were mostly closed under Reagan and everyone knows it was lead poisoning that led to the boomer crime wave. If it was insane people, how explain the '90s-'00s decrease? We didn't bring asylums back.

nah that was Foucault and he had good reason to protest, despite being a petulant nonce.

>on being sane in insane places
that book mirrors my life from the synopsis it seems. except history is my main ballgame, with a side of philosophy.

>Big Libtard uses the mental health System to throw all the chuds into prison where they can be tormented by nurses forever.
There is no reason for you to support a system that could get you thrown into a medicalized version of prison without you having any recourse in the matter.
