No, we really shouldn’t, not everything you don’t like is a “mental illness” and using it in this way just makes light of real mental illness and deepens the existing stigma against those who actually have it.
Being a selfish and privileged fuck is not a mental illness, it is the product of a system deliberately designed to enable their existence and behaviour.
I think being selfish is a fucking mental illness, it hurts the person and society in the long run.
This is not meant in jest, and it’s not just because I don’t like it, there is really something wrong with someone who could buy the world multiple times over and still feel like they need more money. They are mentally unstable to want all of something. You don’t need all of something.
So again, what is the difference between someone who needs all the bottle caps in the world and someone who needs all the money?
Exactly. If we were researching monkeys and one of those monkeys was inexplicably obsessed with hoarding all the bananas away from everyone else, even through violence, even though the pile of bananas obtained could dwarf the Pyramids of Giza, and they were all going bad anyway, while the other monkeys starved…
We’d say there’s something very, very wrong with that monkey.
But it wouldn’t get that far, because the rest of the troupe would exile that one or beat them to death to preserve the rest of the community.
So again, what is the difference between someone who needs all the bottle caps in the world and someone who needs all the money?
Having all the bottle caps literally provides you with nothing while having all the money gives you ultimate and unlimited power over everyone else on the fucking plant, are you being serious right now?
Also, and again - “not right” doesn’t equal mental illness, no matter how many times you repeat it.
I seriously doubt you’re a trained psychiatrist or even psychologist, stop armchair diagnosing, and you are also wilfully and deliberately ignoring all of the systemic influences that create billionaires and their psychology, you don’t have the knowledge nor the tools to make the assertions you’re so confidently making and by doing so throwing mentally ill people under the bus, all because the world is too complex and uncomfortable for you to deal with without finding a scapegoat.

I am saying mentally unstable. You are the one throwing illness around.
it’s crazy how obsessed the american founding fathers were with protecting private property, as if it was the end-all, be-all value of the time.
