It's the only way to improve things. Things cannot improve until you stop people from making it worse - and the only way people will stop making things worse is if they're too traumatized to act.
Things cannot get better as long as you let people have free will - their free agency will always drive them to worsen things for their own benefit. The power of free will corrupts them.
Sounds awfully fascist
You people have been exercising fascistic behavior towards me since I was a child. Who are you to complain about receiving your own medicine?
I don't know you, why should I care enough about you to have "fascistic behaviour" towards you?
“You get what you fucking deserve!”
I sympathize with your pain but also holy fuck I hope you never get your way. I’ve seen what happens when people who think like you get power, they’re brutally abusive.
You need not worry about that - people will nuke the plane before they let me have any power. This is the extent of their zealotry.
Reported for advocation of violence against a user.
I read “Reported for AVOCADO of violence against a user” and I lolled. Then I reread and I lolled even harder
Believe it or not, most people will stop doing things if they are convinced that it isn't in their self interest. The idea that trauma is effective at getting people to stop doing something is neither accurate or acceptable. Trauma could easily make some people lash out and cause even more damage. If there's something we shouldn't tolerate, it's people who want to inflict unnecessary and unproductive harm on other people. It probably didn't make you less of a threat.
You need help, and not just therapy. You would benefit from real life friends and positive interactions with people who treat you as an equal. Residential treatment might be a good idea if you haven't done it before. Treatment will only work if you work with it. It's assistance, not having the problem solved for you. You need to do some of the lifting.
