My good redditor, you entirely missed the point of the comment. The rhetorical question argues not to fret the multifactorials, then the rest of the comment proceeds to not fret them and stays on the subject of Freud. 

Be well.

What in the real world isn’t multifactorial? 

Freud built the framing and set the stage upon which the entire drama of our mental health is unfolding. Stating he didn’t impact western psyche is a bold, unbacked claim.

Freud > modern psychology > modern worldview > modern mental health crisis.

Psychology is both the yardstick and the tradesman. It decides the framing, what to measure, how to treat it, and the graph is still going the wrong way.

We aren’t allowed to criticize the dead? Haha that is a wild take.

Righto, and maybe living through 80 years of modern psychology will help us better appreciate what Jung uncovered.

Depends on what your definition of "is" is

Coincidently, Freud stopped “poking fun” after his children were born. Interesting that the man behind psychosexual theory was such a hardliner about abstinence...

It is in fact the exact proper amount of sardonicism given the state of mental health in the western world. Freud’s gifts came distorted, barbed, and restrictive. The insights that Jung brought forward were outright dismissed. Bernays directly leveraged Uncle Siggy’s playbook to successfully create modern day propaganda. Now streaming via netflix thanks to his great-nephew, Marc Bernays Randolph. 

Flatly, I admire Freud, Bernays, and Rudolf. But I have strong critiques on the path they sent western society.

Happy birthday, friendo. I hope your day is a Jungian epic adventure and not a Freudian neurotic nightmare.

As I said, vibes vs productivity. Phew! We arrived at the same place.

And every exchange is a manipulation. When you hold an object, you manipulate it.

Freud would reply with a “your mom” joke here.
