I like Freddie despite his mental problems/communism. His heart usually seems in right place even if his brain isn’t working right.
But when he say his “psychotic disorder is harder on me than it is on you” it sounds a bit like the guy who beats his wife while saying “it hurts me more than it hurts you.”
Destigmatization should not be a license for communism/cancel culture.
- spadros 5y agoI think he argues quite harshly against himself and says that his actions cannot be excused. He seems to harbour quite a bit of guilt and shame around this topic. For context, bipolar is one of the highest suicide risk diseases due to this. When you come out of a manic episode you tend to feel intense shame and guilt for your actions. For reference, 1 in 2 bipolar will attempt suicide in their life. 1 in 5 will successfully end their life in the long run. So it is important to take his real admission of guilt and request for forgiveness into account.
- newbamboo 5y agoExcellent point. I would delete my comment but I don’t have enough karma or whatever. I guess we all do things we regret.
