The last decade has like this for me on so many levels. It leaves me wondering how much of the old world died and how much of it we were just blind to, or chose to ignore, in the past.
I have a friend who stopped taking his medication and went full on schizophrenic, and that’s how it feels when yet another person gets brain worms, except they’re not suffering from mental illness, just ego, resentment and dumb ideas.
Watching them some of them become grifters who actively infect people with their own disease is a trip on top of all of that.
@Amoeba_Girl The far right are all about beating up on the Other, and those with acute mental illness are in continuous supply. (Latest twist: if you’re a grifter and antipsychotic meds have crimped your supply of Others to demonize, you can gaslight your followers on social media and convince them that everybody *else* is crazy. See also Q, Trump …)

I think about this a lot. The way the far-right and other grifters have embraced the weaponisation of mental illness is truly disgusting.
