Just a moment, I have just the video to refute Scenario B

2017-10-03 04:42:50 UTC  

Early intervention is the key when it comes to mental illness

Basically what the video boils down to, is this guy tries to figure out ways to keep the Elliot Rogers Shooting from taking place. He goes over how assinine it would have been to try and keep him from killing people by taking away the guns. However he also goes over that how despite YEARS of therapy stretching back to those early warning signs, he still decided to refuse his meds and go on a rampage because he thought all women hated him.

I'm not saying it would fix it all, I'm saying it would lower the amount of incidents happening. Unfortunately no matter what you do you will still have some absolute FUCKTARDS

2017-10-03 04:48:19 UTC  

Here's what I'm trying to put forward, that even in a perfect world where everyone magically gets treatment, people are complex and unless you run a dictatorship the likes of which haven't been seen since WW2, you can't keep people from doing terrible things

2017-10-03 04:49:14 UTC  

I feel like instances of Elliott Rodger shootings can be prevented if people weren't so obsessed with pushing men going through struggles with loneliness down

2017-10-03 04:49:37 UTC  

Once again it's more person-centred and the handling of mental health rather than guns

2017-10-03 04:49:43 UTC  

He had a shitty homelife where he wasn't loved.

2017-10-03 04:49:58 UTC  

Not much an outsider can do about that

2017-10-03 04:50:03 UTC  

And he was bullied and lonely as fuck

2017-10-03 04:50:24 UTC  

well it's not like he kept these private

2017-10-03 04:50:44 UTC  

Yeah, and?

2017-10-03 04:50:47 UTC  

He would vent about these things on his channel and he had people in real life aware of his situation

2017-10-03 04:51:01 UTC  

He was getting treatment for it tho

2017-10-03 04:51:05 UTC  

People saw him get taped to a desk when sleeping and tormented

2017-10-03 04:51:14 UTC  

Doesn't mean the treatment wasn't shit

2017-10-03 04:51:38 UTC  

I've been through psychological treatment and these days it's mostly just pill-pushers and platitudes

2017-10-03 04:52:36 UTC  

It's more at fault here than his charisma being able to fool law enforcement to not do a search on him

2017-10-03 04:53:00 UTC  

Ok, depends on what you go to. was a doctor that prescribed you pills or helped you through therapy, because the pill pushers TECHNICALLY aren't just psychologists

2017-10-03 04:54:00 UTC  

Sure, not denying there's some good eggs out there in therapy

2017-10-03 04:54:11 UTC  

but there's no way of knowing for sure that Elliot's was one of them

2017-10-03 04:54:22 UTC  

especially considering they aren't common this day and age

2017-10-03 04:54:37 UTC  

shit... 😦

2017-10-03 04:54:40 UTC  

The world is fucked

2017-10-03 04:54:46 UTC  

I'm in Poland rn

2017-10-03 04:54:51 UTC  

everyone is legitimately based as fuck

2017-10-03 04:54:57 UTC  

It isn't just a T_D meme

2017-10-03 04:55:58 UTC  

Dude, I am so jealous of Poland, and part of me really wants to immerse myself in those Polish roots of mine holy shit.

2017-10-03 04:56:11 UTC  

It feels safe as fuck

2017-10-03 04:56:14 UTC  

I'm in Wroclaw

2017-10-03 04:56:22 UTC  

That's a city of 630,000

2017-10-03 04:56:32 UTC  

I felt perfectly safe wandering the city at night

2017-10-03 04:56:36 UTC  

(jet lag is a cunt)

2017-10-03 04:56:42 UTC  

Then I remember the standard of living in America and living in a nice town and I content myself wtih watching from afar

2017-10-03 04:56:52 UTC  

Yeah, wages seem super shitty

2017-10-03 04:56:55 UTC  

lol, well I'm glad to hear it!

2017-10-03 04:57:03 UTC  

Not the wages thing, that sucks

2017-10-03 04:57:16 UTC  

I was scoping out big 4 auditing wages
