NURSE RATCHED! I ASKED you a QUESTION!
i was going to say she's dead, but apparently not
But I want MY Cigarettes!
reminder that propaganda like this is why we have an unsolveable homeless problem in the US
She did nothing wrong.
Still would
>implying it was muh liberals that had psychiatric hospitals shut down
>implying it wasn't the austerity of Reaganomics in the 1980s wherein severe budget cuts forced many hospitals to release patients
Can't blame Kesey for that.
>what Cuckoo's nest was about
Fuckers that did MK Ultra were the real crazies
>what morons interpreted it as
Mental Hospitals bad
Same here, user
For me, it's Taber.
>Her, Nicholson and Christopher Lloyd are the only actors from this movie still alive
>even Milos Forman is dead now
>"Muh Reagan"
So tired of this childish bullshit. The states were supposed to pick up the slack with the defederalization of mental health institutions, but none of them did, because it was easier to blame Reagan (and not Congress who wrote the laws repealing Carter's health care act), and have more money in the state to blow on coke and hookers. And they completely overlook that the patient's bill of rights survived, which lets mental patients decide for themselves if they get treatment or not, which makes institutionalizing them almost impossible - and was lauded as one of the most important things ever by liberals.
Liberals have been in complete control of Congress and the White house and multiple states since, and have done SHIT to reverse it, and bring institutions back - but still talk shit about old meanyhead Reagan. Because spending money on institutions is hard to do when you're looting state and federal budgets to line your own pockets. Because it's better to let them roam free in the streets of San Franciso, drugged and and shitting everywhere, right? It's been 22 years since Reagan left office - when do you actually DO something instead of whine and snivel about it? You've had more years with libs in the oval office than not over those years. But there's MORE crazies roaming the streets. But "Muh Reagan, derrrrrr".
When did Danny Devito die?
Louise Fletcher and Danny Devito are still alive, dummy. A lot of the cast are still around.
Shit I forgot about him.
I mentioned Louis Fletcher.
Fuck me. It's been 32 years.
now THIS is boomerposting
institutions don't work. false positives are preferred to false negatives so overdiagnosis happens which causes these places to become misfit containment zones, while the staff abuse or patronise them for being "crazy" giving them actual mental illnesses completing a self-fulfilling prophecy.
>which causes these places to become misfit containment zones
Sounds like it's working as intended to me
ok boomer
Do you want schizo bums off the street or not?
it's not that simple. you pay for them to receive proper care which costs a lot or you let them suffer which causes even more problems. the institution format itself does not help the same way prison doesn't rehabilitate.
Well at some point someone's gonna have to force them to take that medication because every inch of their schizo brain is telling them not to
Even if everything you said here is true, it still doesn't prove right, it just deflects blame away from muh heckin Reaganerino.
>institutions don't work.
Thy work for a specific population, who can't be treated and managed. They've been fobbed off on the prison system, which is bullshit, because they're insane. This is the exact kind of bullshit that I've heard for years - you all whine and snivel about Reagan shutting down the institutions - and then in the same breath say they don't work.
Well, letting them roam the streets wild and feral doesn't work, either.
Brad Dourif
He's right that Reagan is incorrectly blamed for deinstitutionalisation when most of the state mental hospitals/asylums had already been shut down in favor of "community treatment" (i.e. the mentally ill would return to live with family members, friends etc and be treated at community mental health centers as per the Community Mental Health Act of 1963 ).
Shit, I can't believe I forgot about him too.
cough up and pay for the situation you've made. institutions don't work but better medical care especially in the US which is laughably bad would help people immensly more than sweeping away "insane" people that are overdiagnosed in screening for these places. then you can get closer to your 50s boomer pleasantville dreamscape where the underclass is out of sight and out of mind again.
PLAY THE GAME, HARDING
KNOCK OFF THE BULLSHIT
Ok explain to me the "better medical care" that would non-coercively get schizo bums to take their meds when they don't want to.
