INSOMNIA STREAM： DEINSTITUTIONALIZATION EDITION

Stream Summary

The discussion on the "Insomnia Stream: Deinstitutionalization Edition" delved into the historical and contemporary treatment of mental illness, particularly focusing on the shift from viewing it as a moral failing to a disease. The conversation highlighted the role of Jewish influence in the decline of asylums, citing key figures like David Rosenhan and his controversial study, which questioned the reliability of psychiatric diagnoses. The discussion also touched on the broader implications of this shift, including the rise of eugenics, the impact on the criminal justice system, and the ongoing debate over the treatment and societal integration of mentally unstable individuals. The conversation discusses the impact of Ronald Reagan's policies on the closure of mental hospitals, driven by financial considerations and public perception. The speakers debate the idea of creating a racially exclusive organization for founding stock Americans, emphasizing the historical and cultural significance of lineage. They also reflect on the influence of media, particularly MTV's "The Real World," on societal views.

Key Points of Wisdom

• [12:17] "It wasn't considered a disease. It wasn't considered something that you had no control over. And I would say that while there are extreme cases where there's something just really broken in your brain, where that might be the case, right? And in those obvious cases, I think they were treated differently."
  Context: On the historical view of insanity as a moral failure versus a disease.
• [15:05] "Insanity was viewed as a failure of self control or of self mastery, and these kinds of failures would lead to bigger problems."
  Context: On the importance of discipline and restraint in mental health.
• [25:02] "Insanity was a collapse of moral agency, and so because it was a collapse of moral agency, this justified confinement, this justified the loss of your civil rights. This justified indefinite detention, because if you can't govern yourself in a country designed for self government, well then you have to be taken away."
  Context: On the rationale for institutionalization in early America.
• [46:12] "They are people with spouses, with children, with parents with jobs, with mortgages and bills to pay that they are in the fullest sense of the word, very human and very unhappy."
  Context: On the humanity of psychiatric patients.
• [1:55:07] "We need to start adding social shame to mental illness. Again, there's exceptions, but that's the other problem too. By stripping away any kind of personal responsibility for your psychosis, these people that want to, you know, like these trannies making it sound like, Oh no, it's, it's this disease called, you know, sexual dysmorphia, or whatever the fuck that they call it, right? No, it's, it's, it's a problem with you."
  Context: On the consequences of removing personal responsibility from mental health.

Hyperchat Summary

• [1:59:23] Love and Division: Do you think that the objective of closing the insane asylums was to stress out the goyim, like I said, it's about de purifying the population. It's about de purifying the population.
• [2:03:00] Gorilla Hands: Did you see the face of the ICE shooting victim? Looks very Talmudic. Perfect example. Perfect example...
• [2:04:57] Hammer of Thorazine: Though psychiatry is full of commies, you'd be hard pressed to find any who are against building new asylums and liberalizing the court commitment process. Social workers, different story. Court commitment used to mean being in an asylum prison, but now it means state guardianship and a group home, halfway house, parole.
• [2:05:56] Sharpshooter: Hey Devon, good show as always, degeneracy does genetics; mental illness being so common nowadays is because we don't practice racial hygiene and eugenics anymore. These people should have been sterilized. Or lobotomized, I would say even one step further, just straight up eliminate these undesirables. Parasites and criminally insane are just a burden and drain on the society.
• [2:08:36] 110 Enjoyer: Business idea, take three assessments. Own it Interest Profiler, 16 personalities, VIA character strengths, input results into AI and tell it to look at patterns and suggest profitable skills, careers that fit your profile. It suggested an obscure consulting role for me that scales to seven figures.
• [2:09:35] Reinhard: I'm losing hair arguing with these groyper cultists. One of them literally said that the Holy Spirit is speaking through Nick... How on earth do we wake these people up from their Quadroon SIV Nat Messiah? I kind of want to marry an OnlyFans girl or Epstein was a Chad doesn't do it.
• [2:13:02] Rivers of Blood: Thanks for researching my suggestion. Hope this sheds light on the corrupt medical industry. On another note, did you watch the follow up video to the Patriot Front confrontation? Rousseau brings up swinging chickens and transferring sins. Turns out that Jew has swung his fair share of birds.
• [2:13:58] Donald Duck Tater: I look around and see a lot of colleges and universities promoting mental illness as an ideology or a curriculum. What a fitting solution to repurpose these facilities as compassionate containment camps. This is, of course, for those who don't qualify for admission into the pit.
• [2:15:10] Jay Orlando: Finally, visiting Washington State, staying in a woods with friends in Seattle today, crazy tent homeless people. Learned a Starbucks had to close because they couldn't guarantee their employees’ safety. In Seattle, a local McDonald's nearby has been nicknamed McStabby. No dine-in allowed. If I move here, I'm staying in a woods. Seattle needs more than one pit.
• [2:16:31] Anni Waffen: Yep, since they closed institutions, all the crazies are on the street now. That is correct.
• [2:17:03] Bessemer: Hi Devon, too bad they didn't lock him up. Thank you for the stream.
• [2:17:24] Sacred Squirrel: Sounding like you are back to good health. I've been busy with my Kabbalah Loco RV ranch move near Tucson. Hope Churro is doing well also, even though he likes to murder some of my genetic kin.
• [2:23:00] The Supreme Rabbi Satan: Shalom goyim. How many shekels for a beehive?
• [2:24:27] Sarah Town: The first part of the stream had me laughing. It reminded me of the interview I saw with Stephen Hawking. He would make some noises, and his English guy would translate for him.
• [2:29:14] Dr Jelly Finger: The creepiest part about the woman from last stream is how bright eyed and cheery she looked while being interviewed. Whatever happened to the parents who were falsely accused of raping their kids?
• [2:30:10] Dr Jelly Finger: Re watch the White History stream. In it the white guy and the Rabbi say that Steinway pianos is Jewish. It isn't. They had to prove it during World War Two to stay in Germany. Weird thing to lie about.
• [2:31:13] Arch Stanton: Good evening, sir. Got the replay last time, and just had to give you credit for your comedic chops. The song bits were hilarious, and “I'm definitely not retarded.” I had to lighten the mood some way.
• [2:31:57] Man of Low Moral Fiber: Happy to see ICE killed another faggot. Hopefully they'll keep killing these nigger lovers.
• [2:44:19] The Shogun: On a positive note, most real white men with an IQ above 100 will move on from Nick within a year of listening to him. Or maybe I'm just projecting.
• [3:11:36] The Shogun: I'm fully agree and support the founding stock org. We're only 15% of the population. Fuck my life. By my estimates, we should have less than 20 years left to ensure our survival. Somehow, some way, we have to get way more radical.
• [2:40:07] Undoc Crime: Did you hear the conspiracy about John McAfee's apartment in Miami that fell after his death? IDF literally did all the recovery and demolition on the United States apartment complex.
• [3:03:05] Undoc Crime: Flip a coin, Patriots or Denver, my destiny. Do it.
• [2:41:13] Reaver from Craigslist: Hey Devon. Just to clarify my last hyper chat, I don't think that age gaps are always bad. I do think that the age gap of mid 30s woman going for a early 20s man is bad or is a bad look, though.
• [2:43:17] Reaver from Craigslist: Anyways, another lefty thought he was John Rambo and ended up kicking the bucket. Good riddance. Keep up the good work, brother.
• [2:43:37] Rupert: Replay gang here, even with 10+ hours time difference. I'm trying to catch the stream so I don't miss Professor Stacks history lecture. Old Hitler, and have a good night. See you on Wednesday.
• [3:08:26] Spartan Sardaukar: Epstein scum writes laws for severely retarded Dems and Reps. A plague on both your houses.
• [3:11:15] Mr Smalls: Great show Devon. Peanuts today because I gave a chunk to a viewer whose daughter is in intensive care, non hit and run.
• [2:32:27] D Man: This is my last last tip for a while, had to leave Domino's as this one is full of black thugs. It's a whole saga, but I'm done with this time for good. Wish me luck on job hunting Devon, I need ‘em.
• [2:34:34] Dag Tastic: ICE, baby.
• [2:34:51] Scotian Gentlemen: Perhaps nothing like some Patsy Cline to set you in the mood. I had a portable cassette player in the fifth grade, and I would play all the classics. Kind of odd though, since I was in fifth grade in 2012.
• [2:35:53] Yo Jim Bob Rockford: I wanted to chime in about the last stream. I was a low man on the totem pole on a prestigious mental hospital in Dallas from 95 to 2000... When you got to the part about the Jewish seducing the poor black kid, it really hit home. I had to pause a couple of times Wednesday.
• [3:04:23] They Stole My Skin: Hey Devon, I hate to be that guy, but I think Entropy didn't show my dono message. I'd be grateful if you'd review. The name would be eye for an eye.
• [3:00:05] TMK1335: Perpetual replay gang here, I've been creeping in the background, not contributing to the show for years, and wanted to fix that. I encourage all replay creepers to do the same. Hail Devon, hail chat.
• [3:01:25] CyberChild2013: Two shows, hell yeah. Say hi to Mark Collett and Tim Pool for us.
• [3:01:50] Arcade Outpost: The dindu nothing framing is once again being used for the latest clown ICE [victim]. This narrative for anti white leftoids seems to be coming from TRS sphere, who posted crab memes for Kirk. What gives?
• [3:17:59] Niall of the Nine Hostages: The 1994 PBS Frontline, A Place for Madness, focused on the closing of the Amherst State Hospital... One of the consequences for the local residents is one of the compassionate releases who commits arson on one of the storefronts, killing a white mother in the blaze. Great show.
• [3:19:00] 1488: I've taken over a dozen male cats to the veterinarian to be neutered, and they never remove balls. They do a vasectomy, the same as with a human, they cut the nut sack and go inside and cut the tube that goes down to the balls.
• [3:20:19] Remind Me: Remembering retarded faggot. Yes, yes, retarded faggot.
• [3:16:42] Volkish: Excellent last few streams. I was neutral on Nick for a long time, until wife Jack controversy last year, seeing big groyper accounts all make jokes about raping a cartoon child really opened my eyes to them. Fuck those pedos.
• [3:17:01] Volkish: When you release Book Two, do you plan on reprinting copies of the first book? I remember listening to the audiobook version you made years back, and would love hard copies of both.
• [3:12:53] Vtuber Nationalist: Links are gay, and then send a link.
• [3:14:41] Gorilla Hands: Remember the reality or the reality TV show in the 90s before Big Brother and Survivor called The Real World... This show had a profound effect on me and a lot of kids my generation... The white girl on the show was ashamed of her white, vanilla and boring family history compared to her roommates.
• [3:16:27] Gorilla Hands: Faggots.
