sadly online queer spaces still largely reflect the prevailing ideology of liberalism. I try not to let it get me down. I value the trans community on here because it’s not like that. I’m banned from the biggest trans discord in my country because of the implicit “no communism” rule a lot of lib spaces have lol
just based off personal experience. CBT as I’ve experienced it places the problem on the individual and expects them to shift their mindset to essentially become more compatible with this awful world. I think if you’re neurodiverse, have an emotional disorder or generally your mental health goes beyond “I get sad/anxious sometimes” it’s totally unfit for purpose. I’ve had numerous psychologists/therapists agree with me on this, it’s thankfully coming to be seen as a dated practice that doesn’t work for as many people as once thought. Like I said not opposed to therapy in general, I did a course of DBT last year and it helped me more than any other mental health intervention I’ve ever undergone. But CBT to me as a neurodiverse individual feels like professional gas lighting.
Here is an image from a psychology textbook, an extreme example for sure but it illustrates what I see as the problem with CBT under capitalism. It’s individualist in the sense it maps problems with people back onto their own mindset instead of ever helping them see the greater picture that’s causing them pain in a lot of cases. Not saying all therapists need to be commie polemicists but good ones help you explore big-picture reasons for why you feel like shit which CBT doesn’t.
well we are under a capitalist setting, I think it would look very different under socialism sure but that’s what it’s doing currently
real and cool therapy exists but a lot of the most prominent strains of it (looking at you CBT) are individualist nonsense that will never help people see what’s actually making them miserable and essentially serve to keep people locked into a capitalist realist mindset

The fact that the top comment in this thread is about “electric meat wiggling” or whatever is proof that we haven’t gone far enough in the anti Reddit atheist direction and vulgar materialism is still considered an infallible belief system by many. I find this outlook to be close-minded.
not far enough by the looks of this thread
I agree. Also I think a lot of people these days are moving away from pure rationalist vulgar materialism as their sole guiding philosophy and bringing some kind of spiritual beliefs into their lives, which I see as a good thing. for me I found relying solely on the former to be unsatisfying. A lot of people have Anglo enlightenment brain and can’t conceive that in all likelihood phenomena exist that can’t be explained by our current understanding of e.g. physics or hard sciences. Saying spiritualism is anti Marxist is super reductive and pretty Reddit atheist brained like you say.
this is cringe
not really doubting the claim cause there are sources that put it at around 90% from a few years ago, but this is a shitty member-walled article that doesn’t seem to cite any sources.
good sign i guess on balance but this guy is a two faced opportunist transphobe. https://fixupx.com/thealeksee/status/1763431579135717771?s=46
