You should probably remove the spaces in the words therapy and therapists.
Comment on Anon goes to therapy
anindefinitearticle@sh.itjust.works 6 days agoThe whole “similarity of life experience” bit is the hard part if you’re an outsider without much in common with the liberal elites that make up the vast majority of the rapists.
It’s really not a surprise that the rapy is recommended pretty exclusively by people from the same demographic group as the rapists, nor that people who get excluded from the highly exclusionary and non-diverse liberal society tend to strongly dislike the profession.

Bad habit from middle school when we used “therapist.com” as bait for overzealous admins trying to crack down on internet use.

I can’t for the life of me figure out why you’re being downvoted. It’s absolutely true. Maybe it’s because people don’t understand what you mean by “liberal elites”? That’s not a synonym for democrat voters. It’s people who have been served by the status quo (neoliberalism) their whole lives and therefore see nothing wrong with it. Conservatives (especially the never trump or ambivalent about trump types) are just right wing liberals… conservatism falls under liberalism.
Liberal ≠ left.

because it ignores the fact that there are people with significant mental illnesses that have been failed by the status quo who are still able to receive help through therapy.
The comment only makes sense if you assume therapy is like the strawman presented in the greentext. Broadly speaking, there is widespread evidence that therapy is effective in helping people with mental illnesses survive and thrive in modern society. It’s not just for liberal elites to chat about their first world problems, even if that group is most likely to be scammed by an unqualified therapist. Unqualified therapists do exist, just like there’s shitty doctors and shitty dentists, because capitalism incentivizes shitty people to go into these fields for profit, but they’re a minority in an underutilized and stigmatized system.

Liberal elites are people like Bill Gates and Oprah. The 1%.
