That's not really true.

For a lot of people who are suicidal, a psych ward is precisely the right place for them. There are appropriately trained people to develop a treatment plan, and appropriate facilities to prevent a suicidal person from harming themselves.

I absolutely acknowledge that being taken to a psych ward against your will is going to be traumatic for anyone. I also acknowledge that in some cases the patient might end up feeling worse than they did before they went.

However, I'm certain that you can acknowledge that taking someone to a psych ward against their will is often the only way to prevent them harming themselves.

Sorry mate, this is just plain wrong.

People are there because they have complex medical conditions which require specialist personnel and facilities.

Yes it can be scary and expensive, but it's the best way to manage a shit situation.

You've misunderstood my concern.

I despise Trump and this vapid weirdo.

I suspect that if a MAGA idiot was posting in this way users would be quick to point out that it's not appropriate for a news community.

That said, I don't want to make a big deal out of it. Do what you like.

No it's not. You personally might like it but if it were the consensus people would use it and this question wouldn't be asked every week.

"Fact checking" only those articles you disagree with is editorialising.

I swear these guys sit down every morning and make a list of all the messed up shit they've done, then issue a press release saying the dems did all that stuff.

I hate trump as much as the next guy but I have to wonder whether it's appropriate to editorialise posts like this?

Like linking to an article, and then providing a rebuttal in the post body. I mean it's funny as hell in this case, but would it be more appropriate as a comment?

Mad respect to flyingsquid, prolific poster, commenter, and active mod. No rules being broken of course. I'm just concerned it might not be the right practice for a news community.

If it were a conservative perspective with MAGA editorial I sure wouldn't appreciate it.

What does this business do? Is it just a shitcoin? The archive link only has half the article.

Well if you don't care what I think why bother with the propaganda?

You're right to be skeptical, just this particular grift isn't as obvious as it seems.

What you're describing just isn't compliant with tax law in any jurisdiction I'm aware of.

Corporations are legal entities, but they do not have the same rights as people.
