Yo Copy_Cat, I'm surprised my posts are still here.
"Nothing unique..." about my feelings. That's reassuring (no sarc). The alternative would be that I am uniquely deluded.
I've deliberately not read the link to stalking coercive shrinks yet. I will, but I'm sure I don't need to, at least to write this post. If I'm still here I'll write more when I've read it.
Just from the excerpt, that "violence toward psychiatrists is common" I could say that it has much more to do with the psychiatrist than the patient. And that since psychiatrists are increasingly likely to be of the coercive variety that violence will be on the increase. Because the psychiatrist has been trained and has agreed to practice on the premise that the wisdom of the state trumps the situation of the patient. This is almost certain to magnify the distress of the patient. The shrinks know that this can create a killer out of a person who may well have previously been less likely to kill than the average person. So they drug them.
I have explicitely advised people against killing, injuring or threatening coercive psychiatric workers.
But then killing, injuring and threatening are not necessarily crimes in either the moral or the legal sense. So why would I advise against these actions? Because the coercive shrinks are liars and will always say that they were murdered, assaulted or threatened with murder or assault. (The shrink community rejoices when one of their number is killed, it gives them more power.) I agree with the shrinks, however, that very often when people kill each other (outside of mutually declared war) they are wrong. Or I could put it this way: Even though most coercive shrinks are bad people that I would hope would fall and break their necks, for it to be known that they were killed is likely to wrongly cause increased unhappiness. (This paragraph could suggest that their is a happiness equation dependent upon human consensus since for one thing a shrink is happy when another shrink is killed by a patient. I might have thought that happiness should depend more upon the light from the sun than from the minds of perverts.)
I have destroyed one shrink and at least two nurses, possibly more than one and two. But I didn't kill or physically injure them. The demise of the shrink is kept secret from the public and also largely within the shrink community because then they'd have to explain why they fired the shrink. For the time being I need to keep some details secret as well.
There was nothing special about the shrink except that I was able to spend more time on him. When I was last forcibly held I was released on the condition that I swallow their drugs and that I attend a clinic. I made no promises and had to be kicked out. I went to the clinic at my convenience and met "my" shrink. I told him him that I would never take his drugs and that I would make as many appointments to see him as I wanted. I told him that I would default on appointments when and if I chose and that I would demand "urgent" appointments at whim. I made regular FoI applications and was able to read his notes about every three months, which would cover 6,7 or 8 meetings of the previous 3 months. (I am fully aware that there will be a secret set of notes in my case.)
At our meetings I reminded him that in Victoria (pop ~ 6M) there are about 8000 held in psychiatric servitude. That is that 8000 people living "in the community" are being drugged by threat of force. By servitude I mean they serve a purpose. And 8000 out of 6M is the highest rate in the world.
How many of those 8000 are being unjustly humiliated, assaulted and die too early? 20, 50, 500...?
I say 8000. If among the 8000 there are people who are criminals they should be treated as such. If there are brain damaged people among the 8000 who might happen to benefit from close scrutiny and genuine care they should be recognized as such. They wouldn't want to lumped in with people who misbehave or appear to misbehave in the absence of brain damage. People without brain damage don't want to be lumped in with people who have brain damage.
Many of the 8000 are druggies. Most of the druggies are criminal by definition because heroin and meth and so forth are illegal. And we know that many or most of these engage in further criminal behavior and public nuisance. If you delve in amongst the druggies, as I have, you find that they do the things they do for a sensible reason. I have marvelled at the strength and sensibility demonstrated by some pretty terrible druggies.
So amongst the 8000 where are the "mentally ill" that require forced drugging? Are they the fat teenager that plays WoW 80 hours a week? Are his catholic parents who told him that if he touched his dick at 4yo that he would go to hell worried that he might kill himself? Are they worried that because Breivik played WoW that they should recommend people for psychiatric drugging? Do they phone the shrinks and do the shrinks tell them to tip the furniture over and then call the police?
I'll leave it here. More say (if I'm still here) about shrinks, lies, documentation, magistrates etc later.
