We're currently watching the Alien Force series and we absolutely love it and are having a great time together. Is there anyone else who feels the same way?

Have you ever wanted to be a bully but were bullied yourself? Perhaps it's due to severe abuse, or maybe you simply mistreat people you have the power to hurt, taking out your anger on your close family and friends.Wanting to infect weak, small people

​

I'm losing my mind over what my father did to me in the past. He choked me. He beat me. He psychologically tortured me. And here's the thing: the physical violence stopped, but the psychological abuse is still happening. I'm still in his house. I'm still being torn apart by his words.

Now there's something else eating me from the inside. When he gets drunk and passes out, lying there completely defenseless, the thought runs through my head: I want to beat him to death. Punch after punch. Kick after kick. Until he has nothing left.

But why did any of this happen in the first place? Because I used to have episodes. I was feeling hopeless and terrible. I would say "Dad, come kill me" and bring his hands to my own throat. I made him angry. That's why he choked me, beat me, and abused me psychologically. And I blame myself for it. Yes. I still blame myself. A part of me keeps whispering that I deserved it.

But despite that guilt, the urge to hurt him is still there. And here's the twisted part: if I only did to him what he did to me, it wouldn't even be physical abuse. Because he choked me. I just want to hit him. At least I'm not choking him.

So why don't I do it? Why do I keep going back and forth?

Because I'm weak. Because I'm a coward. I don't have the strength to fight back. On top of that, I'm economically dependent on him. His house is my home. His money is my money. If I hit him, I'll end up on the street. So every single time, I stop myself. I wait. I watch. And I back down.

And then I feel disgusting. Because I can't even stand up for myself. I hate what he did to me, but I've turned into this pathetic freak who wants to beat his own father to death. I'm still living in his house. Still enduring his psychological abuse. Still staying silent.

Everyone in my family defended him. Everyone. No matter what he did, they said "Don't be unfair, he's your father." No one ever told me "Yes, you brought his hands to your throat, but your father shouldn't have choked you." No one protected me. No one even acknowledged what happened.

So every night is the same scene: He's passed out drunk, and I'm standing there watching. Inside me, there's the urge to beat him to death, mixed with self-disgust. Because I don't do it. Because I'm still scared. Because I'm still dependent. Because I can't silence that voice that says "You deserved it."

I regret even having these thoughts. Because just wanting this makes me feel like I'm becoming as bad as him. And that makes me hate myself even more.

Enough. I'm so tired of this loop.

It's not the Turkish style because in Türkiye, religious institutions are within the state, similar to the French model, but not directly; rather, an autonomous religious institute has been established that modernizes Islam. In your opinion, what kind of secularism and revolution did Tunisia have, what were its mistakes, and how could it have been improved?

What do you think about this?

Hey everyone,

I'm exhausted and don't know where to explode anymore. Long story short, I struggle with ADHD, depression, and OCD. After years of suffering, I finally gathered the courage to see a psychiatrist. My dad came with me, and it went horribly wrong.

The psychiatrist barely listened to me and immediately sided with my dad. My dad, as always, called me "cowardly, timid, not participating in life." The doctor didn't challenge him at all. Instead, he just nodded along and repeated the same boomer crap: "Just get a job, earn money, get out there." As if I'm not doing these things because I simply don't want to. He even took a dig at me, saying "You can't just lie in bed popping pills, you have to force yourself to do things." That was their solution.

Is there a name for this? For a psychiatrist invalidating his patient like this, reducing everything to "just get a job" right in front of the parent who constantly belittles him?

I somehow managed to convince him to prescribe me something. He wrote Fulsac (fluoxetine, basically Prozac). He said it was "for motivation," but even then he mocked it: "It probably won't work, maybe it'll fix you just a tiny bit at most." Meanwhile, my suicidal thoughts are intense. Part of me thinks maybe only then my dad would finally snap out of his "I'm always right" mode. But I'll still try the damn pills.

My question: Is Fulsac (fluoxetine) actually good for ADHD, depression, and OCD? Is it really just a "tiny fix," or does it have the potential to genuinely help? (And please don't defend this psychiatrist. He is the rotten system itself.)

I feel completely alone and hopeless. Has anyone else been through this? What should I do?

Also, small addition: Do these meds actually not work, like he implied? Is it true that they're useless?

These countries often continue to use socialist symbols, rhetoric, and revolutionary imagery, yet many critics argue that, in practice, they have moved far away from socialism itself. In my view, some of these states can still be seen as geopolitical forces opposing American dominance, which is why certain groups continue to support them. However, this raises an important question: was their shift away from socialism an unavoidable historical necessity, or did later leaders gradually steer these countries toward capitalism, ultimately betraying the original revolution after the deaths of the founding figures?

This debate appears frequently when discussing countries that preserved the language and symbolism of socialism while adopting market-oriented economic systems, centralized state capitalism, or nationalist policies. Some people argue that these changes were forced by economic isolation, global pressure, sanctions, technological competition, and the need to survive in a capitalist world order. Others believe that a bureaucratic ruling class slowly emerged inside these revolutions and transformed the system from within, prioritizing stability, state power, and self-preservation over socialist ideals.

More broadly, many revolutionary states seem to experience a similar pattern over time: revolutionary energy weakens, institutions become more rigid, leadership turns increasingly centralized, and economic survival begins to outweigh ideological goals. As a result, socialism may remain more as a symbolic identity, historical legitimacy, or nationalist narrative rather than as a genuinely transformative economic and social system.

What do you think explains this pattern most convincingly: external pressure and historical necessity, internal corruption and bureaucratic degeneration, or something deeper within the structure of revolutionary states themselves?

What are your general thoughts on this event? Doesn't the concept of "umma" (Islamic community) practically work?

I can't work because of my depression and problems. I couldn't get psychiatric help because of my mother. I had a very hard time convincing my father. As I slowly get better and become financially independent, I beat my brother I want to run away from home, I'm fed up. I'm weak, stupid, unemployed, and I've been insulted and humiliated for not going to school. I've been kicked out of the house so many times, and they acted like nothing happened, as if the problem was with me They used my basic needs as a weapon against me. My father and mother physically harmed me. My younger brother would always get angry and try to hit me, push me, for no reason. When I responded, my family blamed me, saying I should have backed down, but when I got tired of staying silent and started shouting and getting angry, all they did was threaten me and blame me. I was the whole problem Now I constantly pretend to be crazy, acting like a baby, both to disgust myself and to isolate myself. I'll use my father financially at home before I leave. Is there anyone else who feels the same way as me?

The party is full of billionaires, workers are exploited, small businesses have little oversight, unions are subservient to the state rather than the workers, and generally, workers have no power against those in power.

What are your thoughts on this? For example, are even openly racist and fascist ideas considered freedom of expression? If not, and if punishment is necessary, as in reactionary countries and regimes, where fascism and racism are used as a stigma and accusation, then those who are socialists themselves are punished simply for thinking differently If this stigmatization is used for elimination, it sounds a bit dystopian and extreme, but you get the idea.

Bu konuda ne düşünüyorsunuz? Örneğin, açıkça ırkçı ve faşist fikirler bile ifade özgürlüğü olarak kabul ediliyor mu? Eğer değilse ve gerici ülkeler ve rejimlerde olduğu gibi cezalandırma gerekiyorsa ve bu damgalanma olarak kullanırsa sosyalist insanlar için bile
