These comments ostensibly come from Aaron Bushnell's reddit account before it was suspended. I do not vouch for the veracity of this. Hilarious how they try to peg this obvious leftists as a "liberal."

Originally posted to /r/libsofreddit to make fun of him, but (shocker) Bushnell sounds like he knew exactly what was up.

"Sanity is a myth" projection much?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Nah, he's right. "Sanity" is a made-up label used to justify the mistreatment of people considered by the ruling class to be unsightly or inconvenient.

Bullshit, sanity is a more than just a label it’s a fucking concept. A concept that can be defined scientifically, outside of the context of our society.

Just because you don’t like the context doesn’t mean you can just pretend things don’t exist

While I don’t totally disagree with you, nor advocate the position you are arguing against… I wonder what is the scientific definition of sanity? Is there a consensus on it? If it is a concept that exists outside the context of our society as you claim, then is it something objectively inherent in all humans regardless of their culture or circumstances? Or can its meaning change over time; can the standard of entrance be lowered or raised depending on current trends or the whim of the majority?
