we had a fun decade dunking on losers but now it is time to put childish things away

No what I'm saying is that third world working class people fighting revolutionary wars show lower rates of PTSD vs. first world counterparts who are sent out into the field to kill those people in at least marginally greater luxury and security while whitey's on the moon, which is true.
So when they lay out their demands they're fully capable of realizing that distorted costs of treatment mean they can and should demand medicine that other people receive that is a lot more ambitious than penicillin and mosquito nets. As medicine develops, the demands for medicine that people rightly suspect could be provided to them, but isn't, follow suit. If someone knows their brother is depressed and wants to die and there's maybe a doctor who can help him, but the doctor costs too much, they will probably fight to try and fix that when it's rolled up with other things, even if it's just to feel like they fixed it for other people later on and did right by their brother as best they could. And they're likely to be able to discuss that in more sophisticated terms than I just did.
The thing that a lot of liberals can't fathom or accept about revolutionary situations, and I know you're smart enough not to make this mistake goatstein, is that they turn a lot of unlikely people into avid self-educated readers because they feel for the first time that if they learn about something, they might be allowed to put it into action in a way that would benefit people around them and make them feel like they made a dent somewhere that would be appreciated, and that's exciting.
So liberals are like haha, you know it's not like workers in revolutionary times hung out in their free time and argued psychology and sociology and economics like tendentious nerds, or had strong opinions on Freud, but those liberals look like idiots to much of the world, even kids around the world who just know those people as old grumps from their hometowns, because that sort of reading and debate was what happened with the forward groups among those workers and still does and it makes the workers who do it feel extremely powerful and badass. badass grampa and grandma and you ask what they do with themselves and they're like, for fifty years we have explained Lenin's theories to our brothers and sisters.
You can't really style yourself in imitation of those people or the moment that created them just because they're badass, and the people who try it look like fools, but the present or future person like that exists too and they aren't doing it to settle for poop pills any more than grandma was, who ended up a mathematician working on missions to Venus.
