The Hoax of Mental Illness: Stick Out Your Thoughts And Say "Ahhh!"

How does one differentiate/diagnose an 'ill' thought from a 'well' thought? How does one differentiate/diagnose an 'ill' thought from a 'well' thought? Thoughts are representations of the stimuli we receive from the surrounding environment. If I'm crossing the street at the cross walk but an automobile runs the red light heading right for me, I will run to avoid being hit by the car. If, however, I suffer from schizophrenia and while crossing the same crosswalk suffer a psychotic episode where I believe an automobile has run the red light and is heading directly for me, I will run to avoid an imaginary impact with the car. In both instances we have the same thoughts, but only in the latter do we have the same thoughts being caused by errant stimuli. We therefore see that thoughts can never be ill, but can be affected by errant stimuli. 

The hoax of "mental illness" is yet another Marxist program to curtail free speech, where the offender is seen as a threat to the Marxist program, that program being to implement Karl Marx's 1843 directive for the "abolition of religion", and the destruction of those civilizations "whose spiritual aroma is religion":

Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right, Karl Marx (1843)

"The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion."

...and...

"The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness. The demand to give up the illusion about its condition is the demand to give up a condition which needs illusions."

...and...

"It is, therefore, the task of history, once the other-world of truth has vanished, to establish the truth of this world."

It's no coincidence that the concept of "mental illness" was used in the USSR to arrest and commit to psychiatric hospitals those individuals who sought freedom within the USSR. In the USSR, political dissidents were frequently arrested and incarcerated in psychiatric hospitals as a method of political repression, using vague diagnoses like "sluggish schizophrenia" to silence dissent, forcing treatments like antipsychotics and electroshock therapy.

One’s emotions, too, are representations of what we believe reality to be, whether the reality is based on internal stimuli or external stimuli. For example, feelings of paranoia can be based on concerns that are real or totally imagined, but an imagined concern cannot be called ill since the same paranoid feeling in another setting is ‘well’. If the police informs a citizen that there's a contract out on the citizen's life, then feelings of paranoia will assist the citizen to be wary of new acquaintances and strangers, and to avoid deserted locations, thereby enhancing the citizen's chances of living. If on the other hand the paranoid state is due to a chemical imbalance in the brain, then such feelings are caused by a physical condition in the brain, not feelings. Emotions are neither ‘well’ nor ‘ill’. Emotions are merely representations of what we believe reality to be, and that perception of reality can be adversely affected by a neurological illness, not a mental illness. Medical science has no jurisdiction over emotions.

Even critics of mental illness have failed to observe this basic principle of science. Dr. Thomas Szasz broke ground in 1961 with his psychiatry-bashing book The Myth of Mental Illness: Foundations of a Theory of Personal Conduct, seeing mental illness as the excuse a patient uses to evade life’s difficulties-expectations. Nowhere in the book, however, does Szasz mention why mental processes – thoughts and emotions – can’t be ill! Thoughts are reactions to the stimuli being received by the brain, and the stimuli being transmitted can be reality or unreality in the case of a brain affected by a chemical imbalance. Thoughts don't initiate themselves, they require stimuli and in rare cases the stimuli is faulty due to chemical imbalances in the brain. Therefore it is chemically induced faulty stimuli requiring the medical attention, not the thought.

Mental illness propagandists are Marxists, preparing for the new ‘liberated’ world, which necessitates involuntary incarceration of those who would upset Marxists’ plans. And as in all matters having to do with Marxist schemes, we have the false opposition ‘critics’ of mental illness. This false opposition tactic is what Marxists call the Scissors Strategy, in which the blades represent the two falsely opposed sides that converge on the confused victims, neutralizing true opposition to socialism, thereby allowing the advancement of socialism to the bewilderment of the true opposition.
