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?
Exactly, that's why I thought the farmer analogy was pretty good. Like a lot of people who would have starved if they didn't know how to farm won't, but on the whole that attempt to end the famine by training farmers is pushing a boulder up a hill.
By all means offer everyone free and unlimited access to therapy, and make therapy a more universal tool, but don't think that getting everyone therapy will solve systemic issues.
