Episode 237: A Liminal Man in Jaminal Spaces ["society of bottom text"]

Dimes and Judas discuss the sexual controversy of pears and breaking minds with wank Juggalo memes, and Greta Thunberg deflecting claims of antisemitism with the power of autism. This leads directly into the latest developments of the Israel/Gaza conflict and an expansion/rant on the response to the previous episode’s season/balanced arguments. From there they launch into a searing indictment on mental illness, citing the book “The Therapeutic State” by Thomas Szasz, part of a famous corpus denouncing the entire field of psychiatry from the mind of a renowned psychologist. Dissecting what he termed the “medicalization of penalization,” they strike at the core of the mythology of mental health itself.
