America needs to WAKE THE FUCK UP!
People need to stop being Sheeple or Ostrich’s with their head in the sand.
But the ones seeing this dysfunction are the ones labeled “mentally ill.”
It has been done many times in the past.
Past visionaries, people ahead of their time, were either jailed or locked in asylums, for thinking differently than “mainstream.” Back in the day, if you thought the Earth was Round, you were considered insane.
But giving COCAINE to TODDLERS for toothaches was a norm in the 1900s. The COKE in COCA-COLA. If you went against the establishment and said it was wrong to give cocaine to babies, you were laughed at and ridiculed. Bc just WHO are YOU to go against the word of DOCTORS?
How does one not go mad in this mad world?

I think it’s more that we need to sober up. It seems to me that the functional in America now are in a sort of fugue state, how else could they ignore the decay?
IDK, I’m a social scientist, I tend to rely on those tools. If you want my prescription, everyone in the whole country needs a four week course of anti psychotics. Then we’d need an army of therapist armed with the latest CBT and DBT tools… about one to every seven would be the appropriate level
The problem with that (other than the epic act of getting anti psychotics into every human in the country, especially the paranoid ones), is that we don’t even have a fraction of the therapists we’d need. We’d need tens of millions of trained professionals,
and unfortunately it’s a profession that for the past 20 years we’ve tried to spend the least possible on.
You can predict that religions will say people need more religion.
I know, me and my song lyrics, but there’s one I really like;
One day a killer frost came, and the Yum Yum crop declined
And Yum Yum addicts ev’rywhere lost their collective mind
The crime rate rose as prices soared, no Yum Yum substitute
So all right-thinking paranoids declared war on Yum Yum fruit
The CIA found communists behind this Yum Yum slime
Religions found the devil, the FBI found crime
We had to move to rectify foul nature’s wicked deeds
Straight to jail for anybody caught possessing Yum Yum seeds
