  • Thank u for recognizing that and restoring the post. It is inoffensive and does not violate the CoC, and mods using their permissions to dictate that the site can only be used as defined by the caprice of the mods is exactly why everyone has been pissed at mods recently.

    Also, wow, the CoC is very well written and should be quoted and cited way more. We could have really saved a lot of struggle, both from users, mods, and admins, if everyone adhered to: if this site is not fun for you right now, log off and come back later.


  • I just don't think "our society is garbage and our tools are useless" is a helpful thing to contribute to the conversation, and it sounds defeatist and pessimistic.

    Yes, talk therapy ALONE is insufficient to end world capitalism. Yes, many of the problems people discuss in therapy are directly caused by the exploitative and rapacious nature of our economic system. Yes, talk therapy itself is captured in the privatized health care system if you are in amerikkka . No one of us can resolve that, and the leftist utopia we dream of is unlikely to be rendered in our lifetimes.

    HOWEVER, if a person is suffering from persistent depression that reduces their capacity to experience joy in life and to contribute to the projects they want to contribute to, ESPECIALLY if thoughts of self harm are present, they should absolutely explore all available treatment options.

    Nobody is saying "don't put a cast on your broken leg bc our society sucks", mental healthcare is no different.

    I don't want to say anything else on this topic bc this conversation is very upsetting to me, feel free to have the last word or whatever.
