professional better (on losing dogs)

while adam never outright identified as anti psychiatry or aligned himself with the anti psych movement, he repeatedly echoed sentiments often expressed by psych abolitionists, both in forum posts and in audios on his culturalphilistine youtube channel.

he repeatedly would refer to therapists as "The Rapists", saying that they exist only to impose societal values onto others. many psych abolitionists have had similar critiques of the psych industry for as long as it has existed.

he also frequently discussed psychiatry on his culturalphilistine youtube channel, with few positive things to say about the field.

"It’s what bothers me, people defer to these authority figures, of psychiatrists and doctors, thinking that they know what they’re doing. But they don’t have this well of wisdom, they’re fulfilling their own psychological deprivation. That’s why they’re doing what they’re doing, it’s not because they have wisdom. Isn’t it funny how I would be called insane, but everyone else seems to think they’re perfectly fine? Don’t you understand that you’re all heavily damaged and that I’m heavily damaged and that’s what life is?"

he also called into question the legitimacy of many mental illnesses, believing them to be social constructs induced by culture onto those that do not follow the values of the psychiatric industry. this is another sentiment commonly shared by psych abolitionists. "What do I think about ADD? Well, it’s . . . it’s a way that psychiatrists can dismiss someone for . . . not having . . . they interpret it as being unable to . . . okay, basically they’re — you’re not accepting the psychiatrist’s values. That’s it. ADHD, even more so. Anxiety screening test, what is anxiety? It’s culturally induced. Autism, Asperger’s, I hate the Asperger’s label because people would apply it to me, and I’m not autistic. Well . . . Asperger’s doesn’t, it’s . . . it’s just a nonsensical category, anyway, moving on."

"That’s really what psychiatrists do, they do identify mental problems with everyone whose values differ from them, which by definition is everyone, so to some extent psychiatrists see everyone as being delusional, I mean they see them as mentally ill because everyone is delusion."

besides this, he repeatedly expressed admiration for ted kaczynski on his channel, someone who had this to say about antidepressants in his manifesto, industrial society and its future:

“Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction. It is already happening to some extent in our own society. Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable.”

According to Fox News:

The shooter was an unknown male dressed in all black, wearing a black ski mask. There is no knows motive.

The suspect walked up to a fence line along Surf Avenue and fired multiple rounds into a family barbecue in a courtyard before fleeing on foot.

The attack happened on July 4, 2026, at approximately 10:35 p.m. near West 30th Street, leaving eight people wounded (four adults and four children)

Adult 21F critical condition, 25F, 33M, 37M.

Children went from 6, 7, 12, 14. “A 6-year-old boy was shot in the stomach, a 7-year-old boy was shot in both legs, a 12-year-old boy was shot in the leg and a 14-year-old boy was shot in the thigh, according to police” -NBC news.

Seven victims are expected to survive. A 21-year-old woman remains in critical condition after being shot in the chest.

A Tech-9-style firearm equipped with an extended magazine was recovered at the scene, along with 10 spent shell casings.

There is speculation that this could be in relation to an earlier gang crime committed on the same street earlier that week.

ALL of this is preliminary and is subject to change!!

I really doubt this will become anything huge to be honest, but I just wanted to make an info post about it for funsies— think of this like a practice run if you will, like me practicing making info posts before I really actually do. Also this interested me when I saw it on the news bc I’ve never really seen any shootings on July 4th before.
