Are insane asylums a real thing?
In some places, in others they just have a wing in a nearby prison. It is deliberately meant to be dehumanizing and dangerous. Thanks Ronald Reagan, your legacy will remain forever!
I don't think so, no. It's just Batman lore.
Reminder that police can hold you for 72 hours if they deem you acting erratic.

The documentary "Titicut Follies" convinced everyone insane asylums were inherently inhumane. So the patients were removed from that situation and left do die on the streets of America. Or wind up in the private for-profit prisons of the burgeoning prison industrial complex. Purely an accident, of course, had to be done, just good timing is all.
>>221381543not since Ronald Reagan emptied them out onto the streets
>>221381543Boomers really cheered on a retard subhuman murdering a nurse because da man is bad or something?
>>221381543Yes.>t. committed myself to one when I was a teenagerThey’re called “mental health rehabilitation centers” and they’re much more boring than you’d expect.
>>221381641I have never interacted with police in my 30 year life. If you have you're probably doing something wrong.
I met my first girlfriend in a mental health clinic when I was a teenager.Now I’m 36 and she was surprisingly more stable than the other women I dated
>>221381821All you have to do to get sent there is say you have thought about killing yourself.
>>221381543Am I the only one that found the nurse to not be that evil in this movie? She's always listed on top 10 villains of all time lists, but I found her to be pretty inoffensive relatively.
>>221381848She's much more horrible in the book, the movie doesn't do a good job of showing her manipulation tactics and drive for total control. The scene where she tells the doctors not to send McMurphy back to prison isn't emphasized enough in the movie. There's a reason the author didn't like it.
>>221381543You're in one, bucko. (You) are the patient.
>>221381543This board is one.
>>221381848>>221382013Really? I thought the complete opposite. She's much more plainly evil in the movie. Chef is the main character, and narrator of the book, and he's an insane schizophrenic that is barely conscious and hallucinating constantly. There is no proof in the book that anything he says is anywhere near true, and from how overtly delusional he is, you could easily make an argument that McMurphy is actually insane, and the Nurse isn't evil at all, only that way in the Chief's delusion.
>>221382084Well if you want to look at it like that then you could argue that any part of the book you want isn't as it seems if you don't want it to be as it seems. You could say McMurphy didn't exist at all. Or any other character, or any dialogue. What's the point of trying to interpret anything in that case? It's been a few years since I read it but from what I remember there are portions where Chief is clearly in a haze and parts that are more grounded in reality, and there are plenty of of the latter that show Ratched's compulsion for control over not just the patients but the hospital staff as well.
>>221381543When I was 13 my parents tried giving me Ritalin (late 90s) and my father would come into my room in the morning and flick the lights on and off and say, "Medication time, Medication time."He died a few years later and unbeknownst to me, I was watching One flew over the cuckoo's nest a few years ago and finally understood the reference. Classic.
>>221381699>>221381752This is essentially the background goings-on in Joker - sent home with meds and weekly counseling sessions, then the meds are cut, then the counseling.
>>221381569>>221381699>>221381752It's passe to blame Reagan for problems caused by a series of Supreme Court cases in the 70s
Political correctness (cowardice and hypocrisy) means that you can't ever just say "retards who can't ever be productive members of society should be thrown in a cage".
>>221381543>a real thing?they WERE. that's why people are saying "make asylums great again".inb5 banned for >>>/his/
my job feels like a fucking insane asylum
>>221382551My coworkers just leave trash around. Just leave rotting food in summer until it smells. It kinda makes me support death camps.
>>221381543No. That's why normal people are calling to re-open them.
