being online is cool as hell. people complain about how it's toxic, as though toxicity isn't relative to adaptation. take the noble turkey vulture, which can happily gargle a gallon of botulism

i am faithful to my forum and doubt the revolutionary potential of the first world with my coffee. but blaming it on therapy kids who take pills is backwards idiot reasoning and objectively fash. every militant revolutionary Org worldwide has that level of medical care in their list of demands. they don't just want pills to stop dysentery, they didn't travel here from the time of the Great War. classes in the third world with revolutionary potential are not noble brute death cultists and while participating in winnable revolutionary struggle is a proven shield against PTSD during war, the result of victories in that war will be more people outside of the imperial core being treated for e.g. chronic depression, because most of those treated will have gone from being chronically depressed people to being chronically depressed people who get to go to the doctor. political lines against Zoloft babies are like when anarcho-primitivists denounced the Zapatistas because their manifesto called for fridges in the countryside to keep food from rotting.

One Weird Trick Discovered to Cure PTSD and Depression and It Will Shock You Because It Is Apparently "Going to War" Lmao

#24
i should clarify that i was thinking on this subject not because i hate depressed people or whatever but because i keep reading leftist arguments that we shouldn't regulate guns because we need them for the revolution and imagining an american left-revolutionary org fragging an officer because someone discovered that he called kevin smith gay in 2004

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.

#26
And yeah people are often spurred to wage revolutionary war because material conditions translate into poverty that keeps them or their family members sick in mind body and soul and they can't stand it anymore and they want a better life and think that's the way to get it, so they go out on the battlefield sick as hell in all of those ways.

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.
