Dialogiskt-debatten om Nato har redan över 50 000 visningar. Troligen passeras 100 000 redan idag. Utöver Sverige diskuterades också Finland kort. Ronie Berggren drog upp landets Natoanslutning som argument för att Sverige måste gå med. Det är idiotiskt, för vad Finland och andra länder gör är inte per automatik rätt för Sverige. Och inte heller för Finland självt; även där fattar politikerna idiotiska beslut. Jag råkar som bekant veta ett och annat om Finland. Vad få svenskar känner till, är landets djupa ekonomiska kris. Den är ett direkt resultat av årtionden av globalistpolitik för att tjäna Bryssel och Washington. Problemen har varat länge men har eskalerat i samband med Nato-anslutningen och sanktionerna mot Ryssland. Det är ett pågående ekonomiskt självmord som knappast heller stärkt landets säkerhet: tvärtom. I princip varenda värde visar en ekonomi i fritt fall. EU:s högsta arbetslöshet, EU:s snabbast växande statsskuld, rekordhögt antal konkurser m.m. Och det är inte bara i östra Finland, vid gränsen, som en djup ekonomisk depression råder. Tiotusentals personer står varje vecka i brödköer bara Helsingfors. Så här ser det ut en vanlig fredag (från februari i år, cirka 20 minusgrader). Och det här är bara en (1) av omkring 100 organiserade brödköer i huvudstadsområdet. #Nato #Finland #Ekonomi

I was wrong about Lindsay Clancy. Here's why I changed my mind. She was never diagnosed with postpartum depression or psychosis. She was not on 13 medications at once. She was not "hearing voices." She was not abandoned by her family. She was diagnosed with a mood disorder - never psychosis - and went to a variety of doctors who all prescribed different medications, which she took unreliably and not simultaneously. She only heard a voice one time - and that was right before she killed her kids. Extremely atypical for psychosis. She carefully planned her children's murders down to the minute. She researched the distance of a restaurant she'd ask Patrick to go to. Added on a last-minute errand before he left. Calmly answered his phone call in the middle of her crime. Brought her children down to the basement one by one, overpowering their resistance and killing them slowly. It does seem like she had support from her family. She may have still been overwhelmed, but it's not true that all of her cries for help went unanswered. I originally placed too much blame on the many SSRIs she was prescribed. Is it still possible these SSRIs had a negative effect? Absolutely. But the case that these drove her into a psychotic episode is weak. “According to U.S. HHS Child Maltreatment data, mothers account for roughly 70% of child maltreatment fatalities involving a single parent, compared with roughly 30% involving a father, when parent-plus-nonparent cases are included and cases involving both parents are excluded. And interestingly, the “70% mothers / 30% fathers” finding is remarkably persistent across the years, rather than being a phenomenon confined to one particular period” - ChatGPT Feminist Taxonomies of Lindsey Clancy If I am to be born as a woman, life should not be continued If I am to mature as a woman, I should not marry If I am to have sex as a woman, I should not be made pregnant If I am to be made pregnant as a woman, I should not give birth to my child If I am to give birth to my child as a woman, my child should not live

The Downward Spiral of Gender Polarization The growing divide between men and women resembles less a debate than a divorce involving millions. Both sides escalate, talk past each other, and blame the other gender amid a mental-health crisis. Depression among Americans under thirty has doubled in eight years, while anxiety continues to rise. Each gender has failure modes and one successful path. Carl Jung called it individuation; a simpler term is integration. The integrated are not leading the conversation. The disordered are. Every man carries an inner feminine—the part that feels, intuits, and creates meaning. Jung called it the anima. Cut off from it, he becomes cold and contemptuous; overwhelmed by it, passive and moody. Every woman carries an inner masculine—the part that decides, asserts, and holds the line. Jung called it the animus. Cut off from it, she defers to stronger people; possessed by it, argumentative and rigid. I believe the four failure modes pair off. The cold, contemptuous man finds a timid woman who cannot challenge him; the red-pill industry calls this manhood. The passive man finds a domineering woman who can run his life; the feminist industry calls this liberation. A 2025 Nature Human Behaviour study of 14.8 million people in Taiwan, Denmark, and Sweden found that disordered individuals consistently marry one another across cultures and generations dating back to the 1930s. My theory is that integrated people increasingly date within a pool dominated by the disordered. They try, fail, and get hurt, then drift toward the same patterns. The pool corrupts those who might have healed it, creating a feedback loop. We are in a downward spiral: integrated people encounter disordered partners and become disordered themselves, while the already disordered grow worse. Reversal requires enough people to reject cynicism. When every encounter feels like proof that the other gender is broken, our own drift toward disorder begins to feel justified.

Il Sahara non è un laboratorio segreto, è un deserto, e ogni tanto il vento lo porta da noi. Ogni volta che il cielo diventa lattiginoso, il sole appare velato e sulle auto resta quella patina giallastra, parte puntuale il grande romanzo del “pulviscolo artificiale”. Eppure basterebbe molto meno di un’indagine internazionale. A volte basterebbe conoscere un po’ di geografia, guardare una carta del Mediterraneo o aprire un semplice libro delle scuole elementari e scoprire che sotto l’Italia c’è il Nord Africa, e nel Nord Africa c’è il Sahara. Incredibile vero? Ma soprattutto c'è un dettaglio sorprendente, il Sahara contiene sabbia e polveri minerali. Il meccanismo è noto e perfettamente naturale. Quando una depressione o una saccatura si posiziona a ovest dell’Italia, tra Atlantico, Spagna e Mediterraneo occidentale, e contemporaneamente il promontorio subtropicale risale verso il Mediterraneo centrale, si attiva un richiamo di correnti meridionali. In pratica l’aria si muove da sud verso nord, attraversa zone desertiche, solleva polveri sahariane e le trasporta verso l’Italia. Non servono provette o regie occulte. Serve vento, serve desert, serve una configurazione barica favorevole e serve aria calda che risale dal Nord Africa verso il Mediterraneo. È meteorologia di base, osservabile dai satelliti, prevista dai modelli e studiata da decenni. Se poi quelle polveri incontrano la pioggia, vengono trascinate al suolo e lasciano la classica “pioggia sporca” su vetri, balconi e carrozzerie. Cosa che accade da decenni. Capisco che il complotto abbia sempre un certo fascino narrativo però credetemi, comprate un atlante in libreria e scoprirete che il Sahara è vicino e quando il vento soffia nella direzione giusta ce lo ritroviamo nei nostri cieli. Non è chimica clandestina, è il Sahara che, ogni tanto, decide di fare una trasferta sul parabrezza. Il mio "pit stop" in ospedale è terminato, usando un gergo sportivo, ci vorranno un pò di giorni per tornare in forma ma la meteorologia è uno dei piu' grandi amori della mia vita e voi che mi seguite con affetto siete il miglior modo possibile per tornare in forma in poco tempo. #Sahara #Meteorologia #Geografia

Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “CGAS (Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale) and related gender ideological-belief measures were strongly associated with left-wing authoritarianism” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “CGAS (Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale) was not simply standing in for being politically left-wing” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Support for coercion, punishment, and violence appears to be tied less to liberalism generally than to an authoritarian disposition organized around left-wing ideological content” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Gender ideology may function as an ideological accelerant” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Gender ideology may supply authoritarian psychology with a structured map of perceived outgroups, threat sources, and oppressor classes” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Dissent becomes not a legitimate position but a failure of professional duty or an act of harm” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “The same psychological machinery operates on the extreme left”- Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Violence can come to seem permissible or necessary” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Three findings pull in the same direction. People who strongly endorse gender ideology positions score dramatically higher on left-wing authoritarianism than their political identity alone would predict. Furthermore, both LWA (Left-Wing Authoritarianism) and CGAS (Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale) predicted support for political violence” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Together, these findings support the paper's core claim: gender ideology may function as an ideological accelerant, telling left-wing authoritarian psychology who the enemy is, why the situation is urgent, and—in those already disposed toward force—that violence is legitimate” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “One mechanism by which clinical content may translate into violence permission deserves note. Trans-Genocide Belief—the perceived likelihood that a genocide of individuals that identify as transgender is currently underway in the United States—is predicted to more strongly relate to CGAS (Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale) and LWA (Left-Wing Authoritarianism) than to political identity and to be associated with elevated justification for political violence” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “This prediction is consistent with broader research showing that perceived threat, existential threat, and collective victimhood can increase support for hardline, punitive, or exclusionary action against outgroups, particularly when paired with authoritarian dispositions or strong moral conviction (Armaly & Enders, 2022; Carriere et al., 2022; Hirschberger et al., 2016; Kljajić et al., 2025; Schori-Eyal et al., 2014; Skitka, 2010)” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Related work on moralization and violent intergroup conflict further suggests that when a political conflict is framed as a moral emergency involving dangerous or demonized outgroups, violence can come to seem permissible or necessary (Mooijman et al., 2018; Saguy & Reifen-Tagar, 2022)” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “The practical stakes are straightforward. Research frameworks for understanding authoritarianism have historically focused overwhelmingly on the political right, while analogous left-wing pathways have received far less attention. Yet federal agencies and public safety officials are concerned not only with ideology in the abstract, but with radicalization pathways: the content that tells people who to fear, why the situation is urgent, and when force becomes acceptable” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology “This study suggests that the same psychological machinery operates on the extreme left, and that it may be running through institutional channels—clinical guidelines, professional standards, credentialed expertise—that current threat-detection frameworks are not well designed to recognize” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Violence connected to gender ideology remains largely undocumented in the academic literature. This study provides a first systematic empirical look at the psychological infrastructure that makes such violence conceivable” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Both LWA (Left-Wing Authoritarianism) and CGAS (Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale) were significantly positively correlated with justification for political violence across all six targets” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Our main findings for youth starting treatment with blockers include: At baseline, about one-quarter of these youth had clinically concerning scores for depression and anxiety. About one-quarter reported having thought about suicide, and 8% reported having attempted suicide in the past. These numbers are on par with the population of middle school youth at large” - The Trans Youth Care - United States “Our main findings for youth starting treatment with GAH include: At baseline, about half of these youth had clinically concerning scores for depression and anxiety. About two-thirds reported having thought about suicide, and one-quarter reported having attempted. By two years after starting GAH, these youth showed increased scores for life satisfaction, appearance congruence (having the physical appearance of one's body match one's gender identity), positive emotions, and psychological well-being and decreased scores for depression and anxiety” - The Trans Youth Care - United States

When Therapy Replaces Morality: The Rise of the Therapy State By replacing religious frameworks with therapy speak, Western society may have lost its moral “grammar” and traded it for clinical language—though moral and psychological categories work differently. The DSM has expanded dramatically: in 1952 it listed 102 disorders; by 2013 it had over 400. Meanwhile, young adults report worsening mental health: poor mental-health days among 18–25-year-olds rose from 3.5 to 6 per month between 1993 and 2020, and depression diagnoses more than doubled from 2006 to 2020. Yet the most striking shift is self-diagnosis. About one in four American adults suspect they have ADHD, while actual prevalence is around 6%. Social media fills the gap: many popular ADHD and autism clips include misleading or unsupported claims. The label persists because it serves a function. A diagnosis increasingly becomes identity—and identity becomes a shield. When someone claims ADHD, anxiety, or trauma, they may be drawing a boundary others are not allowed to cross. Where moral language asks what we should become, therapeutic language labels what we are; once the label becomes identity, the conversation often ends. Religious language framed forces as external, preserving agency—you could resist. Therapeutic culture internalizes them: you don’t have weakness to overcome; you have ADHD. Jung argued that old gods and demons didn’t vanish; they became neuroses, anxieties, and addictions—turning questions of conscience and choice into labels to accept. The result isn’t greater freedom but greater control. If a civilization can’t say “wrong,” it doesn’t necessarily become more tolerant. Moral language permits disagreement and growth; therapeutic language can pathologize it and end discussion. The therapy state is the successor to moral authority—and it may be easier to enforce.

Si Julian est en dépression je l’invite lui et la direction du club à réfléchir très sérieusement à la pertinence d’un transfert. Au Barca la pression serait immense. Encore plus dans le contexte actuel et pour +100M€. Assumer ce montant de transfert c’est extremement compliqué #Football #Transfert #Dépression

Massimo Ammaniti, psychoanalyst and psychiatrist, discusses the importance of an approach that goes beyond the automatic prescription of drugs for depression, emphasizing the building of a relationship with the patient and the value of the first five years of life, while also reflecting on his experience with children and adolescents in the asylum and the desire to be a grandfather. (translated)

Toute l’affaire Julián Álvarez prend une tournure de plus en plus sombre. Il faut réellement faire quelque chose pour lui. On est en train de voir un joueur se détruire de l’intérieur, simplement parce qu’il a exprimé son envie de réaliser son rêve, de partir et de poursuivre son avenir ailleurs. Il ne veut plus rester, il ne veut plus s’entraîner dans ces conditions, et malgré ça, certains continuent de se moquer de lui et de prendre la situation à la légère. La dépression est une maladie, ce n’est pas quelque chose dont on devrait rire ou se servir pour accuser quelqu’un de « faire tout ça pour partir ». Si cette information est confirmée, réduire sa souffrance à une simple stratégie pour quitter le club serait profondément ignoble et surtout totalement irresponsable. #JuliánÁlvarez #SantéMentale #Football
