@PraxisOfEvil 600+150 on left, 600+almost 0 on the right.

@LukeAlmighty I would take that with a grain of salt, the last year this graph accounts for is 2001

@PraxisOfEvil
You might have a point there 🤔

@LukeAlmighty We need a school to asylum pipeline

@PraxisOfEvil
It exists though.
It's called school

@LukeAlmighty I'm just greatful I went to a 99% White HS in the early 2000s and I didn't have to worry about getting chased down by Jamarious after asking him to turn his bluetooth speaker down

@PraxisOfEvil
Same bruh. (a bit later, but in a white ethnostate)

@LukeAlmighty I can't even imagine what public school is like today, we'd just started school choice in like 2003. The only handful of blacks in my school before I graduated would cause nothing but trouble.

@PraxisOfEvil @LukeAlmighty Exactly, although it was the late 1970s for me.

There’s going to be major confounding factors, the ones I can think of are:

The slow end of Jim Crow and segregation.
The soft on crime policies that simply kept a lot of criminals out in the streets. And its reversal, to a degree. As you implicitly note, this doesn’t include BLM long after 2001.
No FDA approved treatment for bi-polar disorder until 1970 (the mid-1950s were when we could treat schizophrenia as my mother the nurse witnessed first hand).
Nationwide sweep of shall issue or better concealed carry laws starting in 1987, that’s going to result in more criminals getting caught red handed.
The changes in capital punishment policies.

Those are the big ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Okay on the one hand there are some people who benefit from new medication who wouldn't have been functional before. On the other hand, giving out meds to everyone on purpose the way pharma does is very gay.

@Saber @LukeAlmighty I've had mental health issues for a while, my medication really did help me as did the doctors and therapist I saw. But I met plenty of people who were either beyond help or so zooted from meds they were essentially zombies. I didn't realize how fucked the medicalization of this country was until I myself was struggling.

@Saber @LukeAlmighty I know for a FACT my mental struggles came from me being a stoner and seeing lawmakers push for weed legalization as if it's something that just makes youtube vids funny pisses me off.
