    I dunno, doc, is the psychology you're practicing right now trying to help me integrate into a maximally-accomodating community of peers or is it trying to individualize my ability to barely cope with performing as a cog in an indifferent economy designed only to enrich the few at my expense?

        You need to amplify your body in your own kinetic liminal space and process your internalized toxic microaggressions and trauma by realizing you don't owe people anything. That'll be 80$ please

        I agree, it is very complicated. People fight capitalism better when functional, and deserve help if they need it to just make it through the week. And, as I said in another thread, not every mental (or physical) issue can be solved just by improving society somewhat. We'll still need doctors and medicine in the fully automated luxury gay space communism.

      honestly feel like psychologists have to be the most reactionary lot out there. You’re seeing patients who are so broken down by the system and trying to convince them they have to see within themselves to find out why its their fault LMAO

        If you're stuck in capitalist realism and can't imagine an end to this system, getting people functional probably seems like a noble goal. I'm surprised that the material conditions they can see grinding up their patients doesn't radicalize them, but I'm surprised when anyone's material conditions doesn't radicalize them, so they don't seem too unique.
