Yes, technology is going to be crucial to saving humanity. It just has to be owned by the workers.

Yeah. Therapy is not a silver bullet, it gives you the skills to deal with your problems and helps you understand your issues in context.

Yeah. Being neurodivergent is a pain in the ass in a society that is built to squeak effencies out of the median brain chemistry.

You learn to deal with it in different ways, but everyone is very much wired differently along a spectrum.

Bingo. The take is very “feels” based because if they bothered looking into the topic, they’d believe both the people affected by it and the mountains of research into it.

Yeah, exactly. The point of therapy isn’t to be a cure, it’s to help people understand what they’re dealing wkth and give them the tools to work through that.

Fucking thank you. This shit isn’t some pharma plot to push meth. There were issues with over-prescribing like 20 years ago and it was largely dealt with. Mental healthcare is flawed within capitalism because fucking everything is flawed under capitalism.

Okay, cool, sorry for being a skeletal grump. Medication and therapy saves fucking lives, so I come at the topic with a mallet when I see the “healthcare bad” circlejerk show up in leftist spaces.

It’s really harmful to stigmatize either of them and also just a really weird take to see coming from Marxists. Looking at something systemically doesn’t mean thinking everything is caused by a system, you know?
