nostalgie de bou

the boyim can’t know

Everybody who says "freud was just making things up" or "he was a coked out fraud" has literally never once read freud

he was literally right about many things. calling out his more eccentric concepts and entirely writing off his work is absolutely absurd. his theories about the unconscious are incredibly sound and contemporary, and his critiques of modern civilization are pertinent and relevant. He was the first prominent psychologist to argue that women had independent sexuality, and yes he had character flaws but he was incredibly intelligent and constantly revising his work. you simply have to give him some credit like, he was not "making things up," he was making observations based on evidence, and the examples he uses can be absurd, but you're literally missing the entire point if you're like Ha ha he said Men want to piss on fire. Or "Ha ha I don't wanna fuck my mom so he was wrong about everything " even tho that's not even what the oedipus complex is really about it's about our means of identification with the parent at a young age (i.e. pre-language) and the way we consitute ourselves in relation to the social space/symbolic and the family unit. He was literally right about it too, you people are so annoying
