  • less hate towards those who own several houses

    There wasn’t hate, period. I find it a foreign and even anachronistic mindset, I’d sooner expect people here to be simply jealous of those better-off. Also, owning several houses, not just two, could be problematic, the govt would probably try to nationalise some of them, at the very least in the early period.

    I don’t know the details of how it was all managed, housing wasn’t definitely guaranteed (SFRY had a rapid urbanisation of the population, and apparently it wasn’t easy to meet the demand for new housing), but overall the rate of homelessness was quite low, in part also thanks to the culture that didn’t mind large families living in a single house.








  • I do get easily annoyed by some people

    Right, by some people. Now, if this were a real situation in a clinic and not a persecution fantasy, chances are the therapist would inquire how and why those people cause annoyance exactly. Basically: is your reaction reasonable (annoyed by someone causing you actual harm, non-trivial discomfort, etc.) or unreasonable (annoyed by trivial things such as someone’s clothes, skin colour if you’re a racist, etc.)?

    I get angry and resentful when I think about the current state of politics.

    Do you take out that anger and resentment upon other people, in ways which are harmful to them? Is your daily life hampered by those emotions? If not, it probably doesn’t count as a symptom.

    And I do get spiteful when authority figures ask me to do something ridiculous (malicious compliance, basically)

    It is not abnormal to react negatively to ridiculous tasks.

    I don’t believe that psychologists would count these things as actual symptoms. Probably you’re fine and healthy.


  • making excuses for doctors to gaslight people into thinking everything is fine and the problem is with them

    I’m not making excuses, because I don’t intend to excuse behaviour that at the very least isn’t typical, and more likely is just made up. As it is, you’ve provided no reasonable proof the situation in OP picture is typical or even real in any situation whatsoever (a cursory check of what the diagnosis is about suggests the situation isn’t realistic), and you deliberately misinterpreted the diagnosis and exaggerated your “symptoms”.

    What I’m criticising here is a misinterpretation of a particular psychological diagnosis. Nowhere did I say “everything is fine”, nowhere did I say psychological issues in general are merely individual issues. That’s a whole other story. If I claimed Donald Trump rapes dead babies, and someone came and said that’s ridiculous and there’s no proof, is that person a Trump bootlicker? Fuck no. So why is criticism of this (as far as I can see for now) made-up idea that ODD diagnosis is abused this way “bootlicking”?


  • You’re deliberately oversimplifying, decontextualising and exaggerating the symptoms, and it is unlikely your spitefulness and anger extend beyond an occasional comment that you write online. It seems as if you really really want to be perceived as nonconformist and against the system, which is colloquially known as “being an edgelord”, and that doesn’t count as a disorder.

    insane person that needs to be locked up and given drugs

    Again, making shit up. Show me where the article mentions locking up the person.


  • anti-capitalism gets classified as a mental sickness

    It doesn’t. People are making shit up. From Wikipedia:

    The fourth revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV-TR) (now replaced by DSM-5) states that a person must exhibit four out of the eight signs and symptoms to meet the diagnostic threshold for ODD. These symptoms include:

    • Often loses temper
    • Is often touchy or easily annoyed
    • Is often angry and resentful
    • Often argues with authority figures or, for children and adolescents, with adults
    • Often actively defies or refuses to comply with requests from authority figures or with rules
    • Often deliberately annoys others
    • Often blames others for their mistakes or misbehavior
    • Has been spiteful or vindictive at least twice within the past six months

    These behaviors are mostly directed towards an authority figure such as a teacher or a parent. Although these behaviors can be typical among siblings, they must be observed with individuals other than siblings for an ODD diagnosis. Children with ODD can be verbally aggressive. However, they do not display physical aggressiveness, a behavior observed in conduct disorder. Furthermore, they must be perpetuated for longer than six months and must be considered beyond a normal child’s age, gender and culture to fit the diagnosis. For children under five years of age, they must occur on most days over a period of six months. For children over five years of age, they must occur at least once a week for at least six months. If symptoms are confined to only one setting, most commonly home, it is considered mild in severity. If it is observed in two settings, it is characterized as moderate, and if the symptoms are observed in three or more settings, it is considered severe.

    Is this how you express your anti-capitalist and anti-authoritarian stances?

    It’s a parody of book covers by the imprint Zer0 Books, which published usually left-wing, memetic and somewhat bizarre books on political theory, art, or philosophy. Their classics include “Capitalist Realism” (you’ve probably heard of the titular term at least) and “Kill All Normies: Online Culture Wars From 4Chan And Tumblr To Trump And The Alt-Right”.
