As it has been nearly a year since I last posted this here, and we have a lot of updates, I’ve decided to post this list again for those who are having a difficult time keeping track. Especially since the US has now started a war without even an AUMF before the editors have even had time to put up December’s update, I think it prudent to keep this at the forefront of our minds.
Edit: note that this is only for his second term. There is a link to the ORIGINAL “Lest We Forget The Horrors” at the top of the unending catalogue here, and that includes trump’s first term. I personally recommend downloading both as PDFs, since then they still exist if some fascist decides that this satire website is too zealously exercising first amendment rights and needs to be shut down.
Yep. We didn’t get a perfect magic pony, so a lot of America just stamped their feet and threw a temper tantrum, because they had “send a message to the neoliberals and the shitlibs” or whatever the fuck and now we have Donvict invading Venezuela.
Nothing like getting government decided by a bunch of adult brats with oppositional defiant disorder.
Not american but if ‘lets not aid genocide’ is a magic pony level ask then you guys are already fucked beyond help.
Genocide is now too far of a bar to clear for these people. If you’re anti-genocide you’re just an idealist.
Good to know that these people would be touting how moral they are in 1945 during the Holocaust.
So I was talking to my psychiatrist and I mentioned that I thought a third of adults display traits of oppositional defiance. She told me that it was only diagnosed in children. That’s pretty silly in my opinion.
Honestly, I think a lot of the field could use a reappraisal or more policing. Mind you, I’m a layperson, but it seems to me - from entire anecdotal evidence - that some people are not necessarily getting the help they need and seem to be entirely broken adults. They seem to instead seek out - and get - a permission structure to be their worst selves. In particular, people that are almost textbook cases of narcissists.
By this I mean that adults seem to shop around until they find someone that will do this for them. Not that the whole field is like that…but I don’t know that there is any mechanism in the field to counter this.
Anyway, I find it wild that it would be the case that adults are ruled out from having ODD? Does every child with ODD grow out of it, or do they get lumped in with some other set of behaviors?
Again, I’m a layperson, and of course labeling everyone that has a severe case of being an annoying contrarian on virtually every topic as having ODD is probably not accurate.
However: I think the people that think it’s a serious adult take to want the entire system burned to the ground and that all of America “deserves” awful outcomes if their single issue is not treated in the exact way they want or if they don’t get a perfect little pony for a candidate most likely have deeper issues. In no way should that take be considered the response of a healthy and well-adjusted adult.
