those threads were weird because they vacillated between "oh god i hate my life and i'm worthless an wish death would find me soon" and "oh god you expressed the same sentiment CrunchyPriest but you are a beautiful and wonderful person and the megaman snugglies you knit for the internet are so awesome" which can't be good for people because they can see its obviously patronizing garbage
and the only examples of people getting better over time are when someone gets a lucky break IRL (like employment 
) which just hammers in the lack of control everyone else has over their own depression

i somehow missed this when it was posted, i think it's really well said. I stopped reading the support threads before I stopped reading wddp altogether, it's done me a world of good as well
i regret inadvertently starting loserchat way back when, look what it's all come to
don't be, it was inexorably headed in that direction

MaggotMaster's entirely right by the way, it's incredibly hypocritical and outright bigoted to try and shame him for being 'white', (which is not entirely true btw, even if he has pale skin), and joke about him being oh so privileged because he has internet or something
Needed to be said.

idk if you're being sarcastic but, you know, you've talked a lot about historicization w/r/t identity politics, and being a pale-skinned Chilean is a whole lot different from being a Euro-American from a historical perspective

it's not hypocritical at all since he's the one that brings it up all the time and constantly bludgeons people with his third world status despite all evidence to the contrary
Actually us criticizing him for using relative privilege as an argument, and then us using his relative privilege as an argument, is 100% hypocritical in every way. but at a certain point you realize he only wants to talk about relative privilege so its either humor him or ban him again...

people are making fun of him for being white, because he is a hateful white chilean that said that race is not "really a thing" in chile. and he keeps talking about white people. and the internet thing is because mexico has bad internet catchphrase, and chile is a pleasant place to live. U fucker retard

youre taking this way too seriously, we're mocking him for setting up these weird parameters of debate

i could begin to see your point if he had any reason to post here besides getting really mad at people over forums grudges or if he even pretended to make a good faith argument instead of just pulling out his psychotic internet trollsona over and over

Oh totally. And you saw Newt helping with a picket line and those two san franciscan monks healing the war wounded, and anyone else who's active in something for a time - they totally stop talking about depression because they have immediate demonstrations of their own control to disprove it. All the depressed people are willing to post "don't kill yourself" but the hard work of curing depression is to say, "If you're not going to kill yourself, what are you going to do?" and obviously there's no momentum for that conversation.

yeah and it has a lot of nasty overtones. also whatever he's done in the past along these lines, he hasn't actually done it in this thread as far as i recall, so why bring it up again?
