Enforcing thought crimes

Yeah this targeting of "Anti-Americanism" stuff...
Hym "Enforcing thought crimes. That's what it IS. They are enforcing thought crimes... By doing that. Like, to say that being 'Anti-Captialist' or whatever makes you a target of surveillance... That MEANS (literally) they are doing, like, Orwellian surveillance on people who espouse 'anti-american' or 'anti-christian' rhetoric.... And THAT... Is 'enforcing thought crimes.' Regardless of what you call it. And then they got a bunch of serial child threateners roaming free. Like a handsome, rugged, sexual, animal roving the wild. The serial child threateners roam the streets... I mean, they're in a weaponized schizophrenia surveillance apparatus but still."

Extrusive Thought

An extrusive thought is a belief or mental narrative that originates outside the individual—i.e. culture, institutions, economics, or social systems—and becomes unconsciously internalized & experienced as a personal belief, even in conflicts with one’s values, biology, or well-being.

Unlike intrusive thoughts (unwanted, distressing thoughts that feel foreign), extrusive thoughts are ego-syntonic: they feel normal, realistic, and unquestionable because they are socially rewarded. Their harm is not loud or immediate, but slow and corrosive—showing up as chronic anxiety, burnout, compulsive striving, identity confusion, moral injury, and disconnection from embodied reality.

Extrusive thoughts prioritize abstractions over lived experience and function as normative mental occupiers, quietly shaping self-worth, behavior, and life direction while remaining culturally invisible.

Key traits:
• External origin (culture, capitalism, nationalism, romantic myths)
• Unconscious internalization (enculturation, introjection, reward)
• Feels “normal” or “just how things are”
• Directs behavior and self-judgment
• Pathogenic over time

Contrast:
Intrusive thoughts violate the mind from within.
Extrusive thoughts violate the mind from without.

Examples:
• “My worth equals my productivity.”
• “Money represents real value, not a shared fiction.”
• “Borders reflect natural human divisions.”
• “One partner should meet all my needs.”
• “Criticizing my country is criticizing me.”
Therapeutic progress accelerated once the client learned to distinguish intrusive thoughts from extrusive thoughts imposed by cultural success narratives.

What presented as personal failure was later identified as an extrusive thought rooted in internalized meritocratic ideology.

The patient’s anxiety diminished as extrusive beliefs about productivity and self-worth were consciously de-installed.

History of Economic Thought

A lesson for undergraduate economics classes. Economists those died hundreds of years ago can still fuck your mind because of this lesson. Some of them claim that value can only be determined by demand and others begin to blend them by being foolish, because, according to them value can only be determined by supply or something fucking else.

I used to think that Karl Marx is a merit figure in history because he tried to solve the poverty problem but now i think he's fucking crazy. You will see his name in everywhere if you are am economics student. In Sociology, in macroeconomics, in microeconomics, in comparative world economy, in politics...
