There are four kinds of information, right? Things we know we know, things we know we don't know, things we don't know we don't know, and things we don't know we know. It's this last one that really causes problems.
Evil people are crazy and crazy people are evil. When we say that someone is crazy we mean that they are evil but we're not going to hold them accountable. When we say that someone is evil we mean they are crazy but we are going to hold them accountable. Evil means bad + accountable while crazy means bad + unaccountable. But who gets to determine what is crazy and unaccountable?
Why an ever increasing list of DSM categories invented by a profession that profits from expanding what is considered mentally ill! Since we have decided that crazy people are allowed to be evil and cannot be incarcerated when they commit violent crimes, and since we have decided to empower a profession of so-called experts to continuously expand the definition of what constitutes insanity, then we have created a monster that constantly expands the amount of crime you can get away with using the insanity plea as a defense.
Therefore the insanity plea must die. There is no reason why any behavior should be exempt from accountability even if the person doing it is experiencing psychosis. Justice is exactly a determination of the worth of the individual to society and when a person is considered destructive, they are considered of negative worth and are removed from society and placed in a cage. This is how it should be and there is no useful reason why their mental illness would ever change that assessment.
Mental illness itself, craziness, is just a decision to NOT hold someone accountable. When we say that someone is crazy we mean that they are evil, or destructive, or harmful, or manipulative, or whatever and we're not going to hold them accountable. This is why we say women are crazy, because nobody wants to hold women accountable, because men want pussy, and because if you hold a woman accountable she won't give you any pussy. Women punish men who hold them accountable by denying them pussy and that is why they're able to get away with so much destructive behavior. Patriarchy is the necessary corrective to this and for whatever foolish reason we have decided to abolish it. Obviously when you cannot hold one sex accountable because of its pussy power you must give the other sex authority over it. The basis of patriarchy is not a desire by men to oppress women but a refusal by women to let men hold them accountable the same way they hold men accountable. The basis of patriarchy is women and their choices, their refusal to take responsibility, and also their preference for high status powerful men who dominate them.
Society will never hold women accountable so we say women are "insane." Women do not hold women accountable because why would they? This little bit about women is a tangent and only slightly related to the issue of crime but it is also why society blames white men for the problems created by women and minorities. We are drowning in the false and implicit belief that the white man has an infinite moral culpability while everyone else is infinitely exempt from that same accountability. If everyone is equal how do you explain holding only white men accountable? Equal ability would imply equal accountability. It is a contradiction to say that people have equal worth and then to say that one person can get away with the crime because of their mental illness. The exemption from accountability implies that you believe mental illness to be a higher category of being of greater worth.
Our society believes that men, as the so called privileged, have infinite moral culpability, and are infinitely to blame for women. It believes that whites are infinitely to blame for browns. In short, it does not believe in the agency of any other race but also tells you that everyone is equal. It believes this because white liberals would rather be the villain than unimportant and because brown people are stupid enough to fall into the trap of letting white liberals treat them like babies.
Now the question has to be asked, who would sign up for that? Who would sign up to take responsibility in a society that places infinite burden on the shoulders of those who do? If you have an infinitely expanding list of mental illnesses that exempt you from responsibility, and if responsibility is ruthlessly punished by dumping infinite problems on the responsible, then you have created an engine of social decay. This engine was invented in tandem by a judge who created the insanity defense and by a psychiatric profession that refuses to stop growing. Nobody voted for it, nobody debated it, it was invented out of whole cloth by professionals who should know better but probably won't know better (because they are evil). The purpose of a thing is what it does and if something enables evil then it is evil. Crazy and evil are just two different sides of the same thing, and the only difference between them is the choice of whether we hold someone accountable for it. Just because the law or experts classify something that's mentally ill doesn't mean the law isn't fundamentally broken and corrupt. A thing can be legal without being good, a thing can be illegal without being bad, and it can be totally irrelevant whether or not the person who committed the crime was in their right mind. The legality of something is not a test of its moral value. It can be evil for the justice system to let somebody who is destructive and violent back into society because it classifies them as mentally ill, even if experts agree that this is valid. You don't have to be a pansy ass bitch who agrees with the prevalent values of society just because it is the easy way out. To the liberal in the criminal is a victim and the victim is an afterthought. I was bitching today at someone on the internet and I told him more or less that he should care about the slaying of Iryna Zarutska. He immediately responded by talking about the mental health needs of her killer. This is an absolutely wild mentality and a fundamentally broken way of thinking. It is evil to care more about the mental health of the murderer than the victim, and yet this is what our psychiatric profession has enshrined in our laws without democratic approval, and since social attitudes are actually the result of power this fool has internalized it as a correct moral code.
Again, what gets us into trouble is the things we believe without knowing we believe it. Right now our whole culture suffers from an implicit belief that responsibility isn't a real thing, at least not for designated victims. We seem to think that the idea that humans have equal worth means that criminals are the real victims who have more worth than their victims. We believe that the mentally ill are entitled to commit murder, or at least that blacks are entitled to murder whites because of so-called historical injustice. We believe there is a difference between evil and insanity even when insanity is violent, we apparently believe that insanity justifies violence or at least justifies letting the insane out of prison. The left believes all of this apparently without knowing it believes it, and the right does not know the left believes it and does not have a plan to repeal all these foolish laws made by judges. The insanity plea itself has to go and could be easily repealed by an act of Congress, but this first requires knowing what you don't know you know.
As a side note I find a whole idea of democratic freedom a dubious proposition since at least half the population does not appear to have a mind, but only a container that power puts concepts into. If one does not have any mental sovereignty then giving that person a political voice is just giving them the ability to repeat what they are told by a class of experts. Since every profession seeks its own increase the opinions of experts are whatever let's their field cannibalize the whole society. An unchecked mental health field will eventually turn everyone into a ward of the state who gets away with murder (more murder if you are black) with every person assigned a caseworker psychiatrist. Faced with this proposition it would be much better to oppress the mental health profession than let it spin the society out of control. Remember that crazy people are attracted to education the same way bullies are attracted to the police. Remember that crazy is just another way of saying evil + unaccountable. If politicians with mental illnesses were banned from office nearly every liberal politician would lose their jobs and the remaining politicians would have an incentive to shrink the DSM list and therefore the power of the insanity plea. If the mentally ill were banned from education it would deal a devastating blow to leftist control of the universities and public schools, and for the love of all that is holy abolish insanity plea.
