    I know it’s depressing and fucked up that it takes something bad happening to a celebrity for anyone to give a shit about an issue, but you’d think the exploitation and abuse Britney Spears dealt with under conservatorship would have caused some pushback on this but I guess not.

      I was thinking this morning how Britney's conservatorship could probably be a really good teaching metaphor for the workers' relation to capital and how they steal our surplus value and control our lives while giving the illusion of freedom.

    And steal their money (what little of their possessions and money they have).

    The guy's setting himself up to run for president. I mean that seriously too, not sarcastically -- this will almost certainly help him politically, make him look "serious", etc.

    What are the circumstances under which you believe it is acceptable to compel someone to seek treatment, if any? Just wondering other leftists' opinions on this subject.
