Pretending every psychological addiction (as opposed to physical addictions) is a separate disorder seems kind of retarded to me. Whether you are addicted to porn, gambling, videogames, eating, long distance running, or being a terminal undergrad, the underlying issue is the same. Only the focus of the disorder is different.

That's like saying there's no difference between a car accident and drowning because the issue is that you're dead.
Being addicted to sexual violence because you were abused as a kid, versus say, being addicted to video games because they give you a sense of accomplishment, are the not the same underlying issue. The underlying issue isn't "addiction," the issue is whatever's causing the person to become lost to the addiction. There are different psychological mechanisms at play.
You don't treat a veteran who's addicted to first-person shooters the same way you'd treat someone who's addicted to being pissed on.
Different shit is driving the addiction. That's why they're different disorders; they are different disruptions enabling behavior loops.
The loop isn't the problem, it's a symptom.
Pretending every psychological addiction (as opposed to physical addictions) is a separate disorder seems kind of retarded to me.
Pretending you know enough about psychology to make this statement seems equally retarded to me.

I think being addicted to sexual violence probably is in a different category. My point was that most addictions (that aren't physical addictions) are really a matter of obsessive behavior. It doesn't much matter what you are obsessing over, the treatment of how to change your thinking is essentially the same.

You're a brainwashed commie whether you know it or not. Repeating commie ideology.

That means that it is entirely elective, and not associated with mental health anymore.

Strength through joy.
Remember Prora? Massive luxury hotel the Reich built.
The fuckers saying "vidya bad find yer roots wyte mayn!" probably have no clue what they are saying, and likely have their own little distractions they spend time on. My dad for example, he'll act all annoyed and shit because I'll play vidya, but you know what he does?
Comes home, eats, sits down, and gets on Facebook after turning on ESPN, some Hollyjew singing show, and so on. I'm sitting there thinking... I'm at least applying myself and learning. You ever played R6: Siege? Not an easy game. At all. Hearts of Iron IV? Hell, even Battlefield is a thinking game when you do it right and don't get caught up in the lemmings all bumrushing a flag.
The whole "vidya bad" bullshit is pushed by the older folks who see a TV and flashing lights and scream "Electric jew!" at the top of their lungs.
Allow me to remind you the Germans had a lot of televisions annnnd, here's a kicker...
Fun stuff for kids and adults alike.
Fucking insane, I know. Guess the apex of White society was just jewish after all. I mean, come on, didn't they know to be a fucking Alpha White man you have to chop 3 trees down, eat iron bars for breakfast, sleep 2 hours each night, bench press your vehicle, have 600 kids each, and so on every day? There ain't no tyme fer them there vidya GAYmz! YE GAWT TER WERK! ERN YER KEEP! PAY YER BILLZ AND TAXEZ SO YOU TOO CAN FEED THE NIGGERS AND SPICS!
Yeah... Not buying it. I'll stick with what I know works and is right.
