I know it’s depressing and fucked up that it takes something bad happening to a celebrity for anyone to give a shit about an issue, but you’d think the exploitation and abuse Britney Spears dealt with under conservatorship would have caused some pushback on this but I guess not.

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

They might as well go around wearing 51fifty caps.
The guy's setting himself up to run for president. I mean that seriously too, not sarcastically -- this will almost certainly help him politically, make him look "serious", etc.
Oh, I know. I'm just hoping his prostate spontaneously combusts before then
Seriously fascist 
What are the circumstances under which you believe it is acceptable to compel someone to seek treatment, if any? Just wondering other leftists' opinions on this subject.
