  • I mean, Finland does have conscription, but I was exempt from it for peacetime for medical reasons and if that hadn’t been an option I probably would’ve done civil service instead. In both cases I’d technically still be subject to draft in wartime, though probably wouldn’t be put into a combat role.

    That being said, I don’t know if I would seek to flee abroad if the draft did go into action. Putting my life on the line to defend the neoliberal world order against an only somewhat worse (Russian) world order is not an enticing prospect, and my faith in the Finnish and European system becoming anything but neoliberal is at an all time low.



  • First of all, what a ridiculous bweet. “Shame on every doctor who won’t believe their patient”? Like, is this person suggesting that the doctors of people with gangstalking delusions should earnestly believe that their patients are being hounded by several different three-letter agencies using experimental mind control technology?

    But the story itself is pretty crazy too:

    “No one would believe me” she said. “But I dont blame the people in my life then.” Chloe said she was known to mental health services at the time and was dealing with issues such as anxiety and PTSD. “I’m a different person now, but back then then I was a little bit wild,” she admitted. She also explained that she had a condition that made her hear different environments, such as swimming pools or pubs. […] As the problems continued, Chloe said she was scared to go home and ended up frequently staying with friends because she did not want to be there. Despite bringing it up every day, her friends kept shutting her down. “I didn’t blame the people in my life, because I was crazy at this point” After she had gone on about it for so long, her friends intervened and formed an alliance. “It got to point where they thought I was hallucinating or having a pschotic episode.” “They sat me down and told me I need to see a doctor.” “I started thinking in my head, maybe it’s not true, maybe I do need to see a doctor.”

    So she already had a history of mental illness and it was her friends, not the doctor, who first convinced her that this was all in her head.

    But then it turns out her next door neighbour set up the guy to live in the loft and then lied about it:

    It turned out her next-door neighbour knew the man was up there and that it was his homeless friend. Chloe said she feld “gaslit” by the neighbour. “He was talking down everyone, saying he didnt hear anything,” she went on. “But he knew there was someone there. He was helping him, giving him food and letting him use his bathroom.”

    The story doesn’t go into much detail about the layout of the building, but the most insane part of it to me is that apparently the building had a loft space connecting every unit with hatches that weren’t locked?
