Being mentally ill does not mean avoiding accountabilty.
Gee. I wonder who could've seen that one coming.

Lately been getting news of a pattern of mentally ill people who may or may not be also be terminally online getting into crimes and it's been flooding onto off topic and on other discussion sites due to the coincidences being so uncanny it makes it look like we're on a episode of a fictional dark comedy series.

Except it is real and somehow we just let it happen before it became out of control.
Let me tell you right now. Unless the person is mentally insane and can't reason in their head due to an immense response to something that breaks their entire psyche...

More often than not we have people doing that under the guise of it rather than showing symptoms of it they do whatever they want and whenever someone shows concern or says that it's not socially acceptable to do that kind of stuff...

They either cry bully them, label them as any derogatory buzzword remarks, or have their delusional yes men attempt to cancel them for being critical, etc.
All of which using a mental illness as a flimsy shield to avoid accountability and responsibility.

Mate. Let me tell ya. When someone diagnoses you with a mental illness that is something not to be proud and be cheering about as the reason why people feel bad about it. Is because it is something that happens to someone that they didn't ask for wanting to live their lives.

I get the want of feeling connected by others to empathize with you. But this self victimization mentality and over victimization mind set (along with the clout attention gaining social media) has caused a lot of these people to forget that because they are wallowing so much in their victimhood... they end up not being to empathize with others who don't have the same mental problems as them as a result.
After all the majority of mentally ill people just want to be viewed as normal people and not just some thing that just crawled out of a lab or zoo.
...Kinda sad that their shunning is making the normal people wanting to stay even further away from them as a result.

I get not all mentally ill people are like that. I'm talking about the ones that are going on the internet or social media so much... eventually it leads to some of them committing actual crimes without repercussions for their actions all with the guise of a "mental sickness".
Due to so much enabling that goes on within these sites.
I get that we all wanted to feel good. But where is the point when feeling good doesn't help when it starts to feed in a delusion?

Sorry if i'm being not clear enough as this... is way out of my expertise as when you live life without knowing these things and now just being brought up after seeing some inch and ounces of it leaking out of a already controversial story dam...

It's like finding out that the some of the taxes you pay goes to funding to help these people and some of them are generally not good people to be around at all due to the victim mentality.

It makes me wonder how'd we even got here in the first place and makes me wonder if it's even possible to be in their place to try to understand them.
When all they do is just try to hate on everyone that even has a slight disagreement on anything or question about them on anything. (Worse part is that it's like a hive mind or an enraged cult when you anger one of them.)

...If you can't tell already i'm mixed, conflicted, confused, back stabbed, tricked, bamboozled, and most of all it makes me not want to care on what does it mean to be human... when it's all just so tiring to read and look into something that I've subjugated myself due to just wanting to find meaning in all of this madness.

Mentally ill people are starting to become the very thing that normal well adjusted people don't want to be around and they think it's okay to ignore accountability and more often responsibility for their actions thus leading to the crimes that are happening with some of these mentally ill diagnosed people.

Everyone is mentally ill these days.
It's not your fault if you're mentally ill, but it is your responsibility to get proper treatment so you can best fit into society and aren't a danger to others.
it's the same old argument between "reason" and "excuse"...

one simply has to decide how much accountability they feel is appropriate to place on an individual whom was given ample reason to "lash out"... would you blame a bull for kicking you after whipping it?

Is that not the responsibility of the doctor, since they need to diagnose and treat the illness.

Doctor's can't force treatment on unwilling patients. The only way we get to that point is to make it easier to commit mentally ill people to remove their agency.

Join the club. We have cookies, some various flavors of juice... and unfortunately we don't got enough chairs to share.

At least you don't have to face your problems alone.
