Employees are being offered the ‘party drug’ through company health schemes as psychedelic-assisted therapy grows in popularity. Just some good old capitalist innovation in action.
  • No, I'm not implying anything of the sort. Nowhere am I arguing against treating health issues, and I've been as explicit as humanly possible regarding that point.

  • Yeah, you absolutely should hate the fact that you need to have insurance from companies. Organizing irl is not mutually exclusive with pointing obvious things out online either.

  • Employees are being offered the ‘party drug’ through company health schemes as psychedelic-assisted therapy grows in popularity. Just some good old capitalist innovation in action.
  • Again, I'm not arguing against legitimate use cases for drug therapy here. 🤷

    What I'm saying is that working conditions need to be improved, and then any psychological problems people have that are not a result of exploitation should absolutely be treated using therapy. I'm not sure how much more clear I can make this.

  • And depression, as well as other mental health problems can often be a direct outcome of being overworked, and having to deal with poor working conditions.

  • And there's absolutely no problem with that. The issue I'm highlighting is using drugs to paper over problems that are a direct result of shitty working conditions.

  • Also, drugging people up shouldn't be used to paper over brutally exploitative working conditions that cause psychological damage.

  • Being against actual therapy would be an anti-science position to take. Being against a drug being used to paper over psychological damage brutal capitalist exploitation creates is not. Hope that helps clear things up for you.

    Why are socialist and communist countries usually considered more authoritarian than capitalist countries?
  • one of my favorite takes on this subject is from This Soviet World by Anna Louise Strong:

  • China will dominate the world of tech, Web Summit’s Cosgrave says
  • That seems to be the difference between China and the west in a nutshell. China keeps promoting shared future for humanity and cooperation, while the west keeps trying to create a new cold war where blocs compete against one another.

    Biden withheld bomb shipment to Israel out of fear it could be used in Rafah
  • Yes, but that only applies to artillery shells and there’s a very good reason.

    Reason being lack of industrial capacity. And it's not just artillery shells, it's a systemic problem https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/attritional-art-war-lessons-russian-war-ukraine

    do, which is why I know that things like JDAMS are entirely unconstrained. The U.S. has hundreds of thousands of them lying around.

    Not really unconstrained given that US has delusions about fighting China. Also, how many of those still work is a question.

    54% of young Americans say food costs are the biggest strain on their finances
  • As Lenin put it, every society is three meals away from chaos.

  • Biden withheld bomb shipment to Israel out of fear it could be used in Rafah
  • Western media openly admits that US isn't able to keep up with ammunition production for Ukraine. Try keep up with the real world.

  • 54% of young Americans say food costs are the biggest strain on their finances
  • One meal a day should be enough for everybody.

  • Biden withheld bomb shipment to Israel out of fear it could be used in Rafah
  • More plausibly, US has now run through its stocks of weapons sending them to Ukraine, and doesn't have the weapons to send. Framing it as refusing to send the weapons because US all of a sudden developed a conscience is a way to avoid admitting this.
