When a family member was looking after another who was suffering with mental illness, they shared their frustration at the situation.
Because the person suffering mental illness showed no physical condition, and to most, appeared normal, the mental anguish that was shared by the sufferer, was also being experienced by the carer.
Doctors, and other health professionals, kept putting more and more "responsibility" upon the carer.
Anytime, that the carer expressed their own well-being to the medical profession, they kept insinuating that the carer was being "selfish".
The carer expressed to me,
"You know 
Now, I don't know anything much about the YouTube shooter - but today, via my normal, "out of the normal", alternative media, they showed some of the oppression that, Nasim Aghdam, was experiencing from YouTube.
For me, I have experienced forms of mental anguish from people/organisations in my life.
Most times, I have not been in any position of strength to rally against these forces.
When these "horrible people", (sometimes they don't even realise they are being horrible), inflict various forms of pain.
The most damaging, of which, are the mental pains that cause anxiety and fear of the future.
Nabine seemed to be working very hard to develop an alternative media.
It appears, to my limited knowledge, that she was motivated to be a creative artist in her own vain.
Quite admirable.
However, YouTube, didn't want to make that easy for her - for some reason. Or perhaps, she was being censored by nefarious forces - much like how some of our Steemians, who produce opinion or content, that seems to be black listed by some zealous individuals.
Nabine did a fitness video that seemed to be just that, a fitness video.
For some reason, this led to her video being age restricted by YouTube.
Also, videos that had received 100,000+ views, only received pauper revenue - either revenue turned off or for amounts such as 10 cents.
If you are struggling and desperate. Trying to be entrepreneurial. Putting in huge amounts of time and energy.
Feel you are being discriminated against.
She was clearly frustrated. How could her exercise video be age restricted?
There was no nudity, sexual suggestion or anything - just her doing exercises.
She asked the questions - why wasn't Nicki Minaj and other artists, sexually explicit videos, not also been age restricted.
Or the myriad of "exercise" & "yoga" videos that are hyper sexualised, not also banned?
At what point of segregation, discrimination, bias or unjust application of rules, does a person go mad?
I, being in the corporate world, receive layers and levels of commentary that translate into being the recipient of abuse.
But, I cannot do anything about it. I can only just toughen up & grow thick skin.
I hope that common sense will prevail. Or whatever issues that have created this crazy line of thinking, will all sort itself out, and I will be back on track to normalcy.
I have seen companies just trash and blame an individual - like sharks having a feeding frenzy - they all justify their actions afterwards.
Just last week, I made a comment, while witnessing corporate madness, to one of my colleagues.
I said "I think something bad needs to happen to bring things back to reality."
He said "Like what?"
I said, "There needs to be a natural disaster, or they need to experience a health crisis or a family member crisis. They need a wake up call to realise we are not immortal."
And, there I am, wishing ill upon others, who are making life difficult for others!
I don't want to think this way. But, I really find it preposterous as to the current line of thinking and action.
Where is the daily joy in what people do? Why are certain people made to suffer?
Especially, people who seem to be trying to make their own independent road!
I do not condone anyone who causes pain to others - but, is some of the, non-physical pain, that these powerful organisations wield, or lobby groups, do they have a case to answer? Is it a victim-less crime?
That you make a person feel terrible when they try to do something, just because you can.
That you do not try to assist the person to improve their content?
There is no responsibility to explain to a content creator, that even though their video received 100,000+ views, that unfortunately, they are not allowed to make any money from their efforts?
Services rendered = no paid for such services!!
Slavery? or are we just the dancing bear at a Russian circus.
The workout that was age restricted ...
Isolation of individuals, who feel no hope, who have become dehumanised, need help!
Big corporations dictate the terms, because they are free to do so, regardless of fairness?
Tricky times indeed!
Be aware! Dictatorship exists in all countries but with different tactics! They only care for personal and short-term profits and do anything to reach their goals even by fooling simple-minded people, hiding the truth, manipulating science and everything, putting public mental and physical health at risk, abusing non-human animals, polluting the environment, destroying family values, promoting materialism and sexual degeneration in the name of freedom and turning people into programmed robots!
“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it and eventually they will believe it.”
