Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Pretty much. Therapy is difficult to get and expensive. It's historically been the privilege of the upper classes and it is very difficult to get for non-wealthy people.
And people who have regular access to it use it as a class signifier to feel superior to people who don't. Also often to the point where they demand everyone be in therapy, regardless of whether it's needed or not. Which is again, a further signifies wealth and status. Like demanding other people have expensive hobbies or they are subhuman scum. Which is something I notice a lot among the 'travel' crowd.
I think therapy should be treated like physical therapy. as it, prescribed when needed.
The funny thing is when I meet/date working class people, they don't think therapy is something everyone should have, but they acknowledge that mentally ill and distraught people should have access to it. But when I meet/date a upper class professional people, they think you are mentally ill by default if you aren't actively in therapy forever. They also think anyone who doesn't wear designer clothing is mentally ill as well.
You’ve explained it more eloquently than I could have
