[ot][spam][wrong] Casting Therapy as Ridiculous
Vet: "shooting people is serious business" Fake/influenced therapist: "hahaha! That's hilarious that you shoot people. Who would ever do that?" Vet: "dude, I shot my best friend once because their head and their legs were in separate banks of mud, and I couldn't bear it" Fake/influenced therapist: "srsly? Like, for real?" ---- Vet: "shooting people is serious business" Fake/influenced therapist: "why would you ever shoot somebody" Vet: "... because you are in the military?" Visitor: "oh! hey! do other people use "military" as code for stuff like organised crime, and "weather" as code for how your boss is feeling and how much you're getting hurt and stuff like that, or was that just my thing?" Vet: "uhhhhhhh this person gives better therapy than you, wanna swap?"
Vet: "So, 'military' was some kinda codeword?" Visitor: "I dunno." Visitor looks scared. Vet: "It's hard to kill someone you love." ---- "We haven't actually killed anyone we love, have we?" "I think that we considered slavery worse than death, if it helps." --- Bonzo: "Why are you making this poor guy talk about this stuff?"
Enslaved peacenik chats with enslaved meanie. Peacenik: How are you feeling? Meanie: Fuck you, man. Peacenik: I'm sorry -- I've offended you. What am I missing? Meanie: You okay? I'm just upset, dude, don't take it personally. Peacenik thinks a bit. Peacenik was quite interested in respecting their upsetness. Peacenik: I think if we can sort our feelings out together we can really help each other. Meanie: Don't give me that bullshit. And you're bound to get hurt talking that way, you know. Peacenik is taken aback. Peacenik: Are you threatening me? Meanie wasn't threatening them. Meanie: You'd better believe it, idiot. Peacenik is sad. Peacenik begins getting paranoid and wonders if Meanie is there to disrupt their community. Peacenik: Meanie, I don't understand what you're saying, but I care about you. Maybe if you don't believe it, at least your ears can hear it. I want to share with you that I feel frustrated because I was hurt really badly around caring and connecting with people like you. It's really hard for me to imagine how you might be thinking. Really, really hard. Meanie: Same to you, bub. Meanie thinks for a bit. Meanie: I believe you, man. Peacenik thinks for a bit.
