It’s time to institutionalize these ones.

You spelled euthanize wrong

A person going through a mental health episode has more right to live than someone like you with zero empathy.

I pay my taxes, obey the law (mostly), volunteer and contribute to society in many ways. I also love puppies, does that help you?

Most of the homeless with constant mental and drug issues just waste resources and cause danger to others. Just because someone is born into this world doesnt give them rights to stay in it. I’d rather eliminate mental illness from humanity’s gene pool so we have a smarter and safer society

Ah yes, ignoring the fact that many mental illnesses do not have a genetic component, I believe we have tried "eliminating" things from the "gene pool" before. It was called eugenics.

That’s over-the-top ann frankly, im distrubed by your response

u/notlikethat1 The San Fernando Valley 2d ago

This was the basis of the Nazi party mission. Studying some historical facts would serve you well.

This is such annoying unhelpful troll commentary.

If you want to actually discuss involuntary confinement for crazy people, then do that instead of commenting like a 12 year Twitter troll

u/fedora_and_a_whip 3d ago

That would require an understanding deeper than a 12 year old tho, so they're shit out of luck.

Then take your argument up with the ACLU one of the main players in getting forced mental health treatment banned in California

u/Itotiani 3d ago

You're thinking of Reagan.

u/queefgerbil Panorama City 2d ago

People still say this shit?

u/HairyPairatestes 3d ago

Once again, it was the ACLU filing suit in California that started the shutdown of mental institutions.

I support compulsory institutionalization where it is truly necessary but this kind of rhetoric intentionally ignoring how state-enforced institutionalization was historically weaponized against all sorts of marginalized groups (INCLUDING low income white Americans) is counterproductive, annoying, and dare I say outright stupid. The pitfalls of these types of policies shouldn’t be scoffed at.

u/HairyPairatestes 3d ago

Who gets to decide that someone is going to be institutionalized, you?

u/HairyWeinerInYour I HATE CARS 3d ago

Ideally, nobody because in a proper society these people would be in communities that supported them. Realistically in our society, a range of panels including qualified specialists that know more about psychosis, schizophrenia, and the like than I do.

What I can promise you is that no matter how smart you might think you are (which you clearly are not, sir Dunning-Kruger) leaving the individuals suffering the most on the streets because they refuse optional assistance is not compassion.

u/HairyPairatestes 3d ago

Read some Supreme Court decisions and recognize that your position has been shot down numerous times by ACLU lawsuits

First time huh.
