These TikToks Are Why Closing Insane Asylums Was A Bad Idea
When you want the right answer, go to TikTok and then do the opposite. Modern Day Women Are Delusional

It’s time to reopen the madhouses.
Talk to the ACLU, they’re the ones who sued to close them.
It was Hollywood that insisted on that, making movies that focused on families that wanted to get rid of unwanted relatives. It happened sometimes, but there must be a better solution.
A liberal friend was one of those leading the charge to close the asylums. I’m convinced she was wrong.
STAY AWAY FROM TIKTOK! Oh, and reopen the cuckoonests. 😵💫😎👍
Piano wire. Lots and lots of piano wire.
Back in the day, before they were closed a lot of them had gotten very bad. No over site or enforcing some kind of regulations had turned them into hell holes.
A lot of them were very old, warn down and the staff that worked there? The staff were all Mildred Ratched on acid.
I can understand your friends concern and wanting to shut them down. What I can’t understand is why they threw out the baby with the bathwater and didn’t try to improve the situation.
Then again there was no internet back then. When not if abuse happened in those places there was really not much in getting the word out and making change. Now there are sites like Reddit and expose everything. If something would happen people would raise hell and the lawsuits would fly.
AAAAAHHHHH!!! Turn it off!
Thank you. Good analysis. I fear I’m a rose-colored glasses type. If I’m not hearing bad stories, I’m assuming all is good. But you’re right about the missing, wet child.
There seems to be a tendency on many people’s part to look at one slice clearly, then put on blinders to the viewpoints from other angles. A focus on intentional cruelty and an inability to redress the right of people who can perform close to normal when properly supported with medication and psychiatry means that they ignore what happens to those “could be” normals when they become responsible for their own medication and responsibility to continue counseling. Britney Spears comes to mind.
When I was leaving the Army in 1973 I used my army “project transition” to spend 6 weeks (paid by the army) at the Washington State Mental Hospital as an observer for what I thought would be a future career in mental health, I got to move about the different areas and therapies as I chose.
I think of WSMH frequently as I see the mentally ill wandering our streets and sleeping on our sidewalks and I remember them getting help in the old America, not being used by the left to accelerate the decay of America at the cost of them receiving regulated meds and psychiatric help and counseling.
The last bill JFK signed was the ‘Community Mental Health Act’ which started the emptying of the hospitals.
What a wonderful plan you had. It takes a magnificent character to even consider an adult choice for a career helping others. I hope that whatever career you finally chose brought you a great deal of satisfaction.
