People will want to violently destroy a flawed but functional system, let's say the police or the field of psychology or a state, and they have a real way of suggesting any and all alternatives that are worse than the status quo lmfao.
They cannot imagine that a world without these failed (and in many cases, tangibly reforming) institutions is worse than living with them. They never have a viable system to replace what they want to destroy, and often they propose to remove life saving services that carry occasional significant or deadly risks to those who do benefit from them. This is antivaxxer logic. More people benefit than are harmed by this system, and that benefit, if removed, would cause drastic harm and death.
The field of psychology drastically changes every ten to twenty years and affords such a wide range of personal freedom to change the tone of the field, both in research and clinical practice, and people would rather metaphorically spill the streets with the metaphorical blood of psychologists and never study about the brain again, as though it is a superstitious cursed concept. Absolutely amazing. The logic of the antivaxxer is alive and well within the antipsychiatry movement.
There are systems that are not justified due to an unfavorable tangible benefit VS tangible harm ratio, but people have a knack of not being able to identify systems along this metric.
People will selfishly have one traumatizing experience with psychology,- and I write this as a person who has had my own traumas with the system and individual providers within it over the years- and will selfishly decide only their experience matters and the experiences of those who depend on it or benefit from it do not matter at all. In actuality, neutral and positive experiences are more common than negative ones.
You should be campaigning for an alternate system that runs alongside the current one or working within the field to reform it if you really are serious.
I see an awful lot of criticisms and a complete lack of a suggested alternatives, also.
None of this matters, freedom of speech and all, so don't take this post too seriously - but wow, I just cannot. The general trend of logic and discourse hits on some real kernels of truth but ultimately throws the baby out with the bath water.
