Sometimes I get apathetic about activism

there are elements of psychiatric system which are helpful for some people as well.

It is wholly invalid, disgusting and immoral for ANY person to say 'elements' of the forced psychiatry system 'helped them', because it is a logical fact, that such 'help' was rendered at great cost to other innocent people. It is impossible to create those who are 'thankful' they were locked in a cage, without locking up millions of people in cages over the centuries and decimating countless lives. The forced psychiatry laws are not written just with the name of those who find them 'helpful' on the legislation, they apply to all citizens, and any conferred benefit, is a zero sum game, someone claims to have 'benefited', that means someone else was killed, tortured, destroyed. The forced psychiatry system has no right to exist, it always, always, will kill some, destroy many, and so the 'some people' who claim to have been 'helped', are nothing more and nothing less than someone who is thankful for laws that allow them to be treated like a slave or a child, and they don't give a fuck about the people who become collateral damage.
