Deleuze and Guattari.

tl'dr "Schizophrenia is cool, man! What if, like, we're all connected but schizo too? Oh, yeah, groovy, everybody be schizoprenic!"

It's what academia has become.

I didn't know my dad dad a brother until I was 19. he died in a mental asylum due to schizo. Its not cool, and hopefully I don't have it either. 5 more years of minimum symptoms and I'm in the clear.

WE WAS RHIZHOMES AND SHIEEEET

It's worse because Deleuze in private said he hated schizophrenics. Most disgusting exploitative philosophy.

As a schizo, I recommend VALIS.

Was Schizo himself but wrote about melabcholia.

D+G didn't exploit or make light of schizophrenia or advocate it as a "lifestyle" as people who haven't read them think; they took it seriously as a part of mental and political life. And Deleuze said that when he was at Guattari's weird anarchist commune where any ordinary person would feel uncomfortable.

Johnny the homicidal maniac is a comic book. The main character could pass for being schizophrenic. However, as a psychologist, I really don't know any normal books dealing with it (but I am not that well-educated concerning personality disorders... I am specialised in ocd, phobias, etc)

Youtube "crazy homeless person". I'm pretty sure you'll see a lot of schizophrenics.

No they didn't. The same way you don't use the Holocaust as an example.

> And Deleuze said that when he was at Guattari's weird anarchist commune where any ordinary person would feel uncomfortable.

A schizo started setting shit on fire and making a scene and it really bothered Deleuze and he told Guattari, "How can like you those freaks?" (in french, of course)

> D+G didn't exploit or make light of schizophrenia or advocate it as a "lifestyle" as people who haven't read them think

Yes they did. Schizophrenia is literally their model for resistance.

Deleuze is cancer.
