5·11 months agoThey also called it “War neurosis” in WWI.
Before that, “Soldiers Heart” (civil war, franco-prussian war). “Battle Fatigue” and “Combat Stress Reaction” in WWII straight on through to Viet(fucking)nam.
These are all the same thing, just a matter of marketing and awareness/knowledge.
So you could say, “Soldiers in WWII didn’t get PTSD”, and you’d be technically correct, but only because it wasn’t officially called that until 1980. Sort of like saying “people didn’t get autism before vaccines”…sure, because those people were “slow”, “different”, “r*****ed”, etc. Gay men were “confirmed bachelors”.
They change the wording so they can act like these are all new phenomena and a sign of weak-willed people. It’s just propaganda. That, and we have new understanding of these things…but they (the politicians, that is) latch onto that to effectively gaslight us.
Not for nothing, but as abnormal as this is, it’s all working within the system. Or, at least, the system is complicit.
Somebody needs to seed a version of that movie with his scene edited out. I hate that I have to see that face when I’m trying to get into the holiday spirit.

politics @lemmy.world•MAGA trolls outed as foreigners vanish from X after brutal update
3·11 months agoThat last paragraph was something that struck me…I was thinking about this earlier in the day.
The great thing about disadvantaged groups is that they are easy to exploit.
This isn’t cheating. This is playing the game strictly by the rules. The whole system of checks and balances assumed good faith and professional conduct. That turned out to be a really shitty assumption.

2·1 year agoNgl I read this comment in my inbox and thought it was supposed to be an impression of Trump talking about Mamdani.
Totally forgot about the cat.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump's White House tried to dodge a vote on the Epstein files. It failed.
2·1 year agoNot trying to defend Trump here…just pointing out the error in what you said.
Could you offer definitive evidence that you aren’t a pedophile?
That’s kinda why we have due process and stuff…it’s on the state to offer definitive proof that you are. It’s very difficult to definitively prove a negative.

6·1 year agoThat must be the trickle down I hear so much about.
But we’ll never be truly free until those in bondage have the same rights as you and me.

politics @lemmy.world•Michelle Obama says US ‘not ready for a woman’ to be president: ‘Don’t even look at me about running’
1·1 year agoThanks, Obama.
I mean that both sarcastically and literally. He has been made into such a bogeyman to the right.

2·1 year agoI think you mean “Gerrymandering”
“Jerry Mandering” just sounds like a gay porn actors stage name.
You know, I used to wonder why Trump hated the Clinton’s so much all of a sudden. He used to think Bill was a great president. All the way back in 2008, he had great things to say about both of them.
I guess something Bill did must’ve left a bad taste in his mouth.

politics @lemmy.world•Jeffrey Epstein's brother stuns with response to email about Trump sex act with 'Bubba'
2·1 year agoPart of getting in is you have to suck Bill Clinton’s dick, specifically. Literally everyone in the room sucked Bill Clinton’s dick. Including Bill Clinton. He was pretty fit for a bit there.

I have a spider plant that was supposedly propogated from a spider plant that that belonged to an Aunt-in-law that was given to her by JFK Jr.
Kind of a running joke in the family but a lot of us have descendants and call them all “JFK Jr.”
So, I’m saving John-John. Sorry not sorry, don’t lose your head.
