Psychiatric medication saved my life. Therapy on the other hand was a complete waste of time. My brother on the third hand enjoys therapy a lot.
It is natural to have grievances with the way psychiatry and psychology are practiced under capitalism, but sometimes it feels like some people here let go of materialism just to “stick it to the man” in various topics.
Not saying you OP are one of those btw
You are misunderstanding. We can talk about adopting linguistic conventions in terms of orthography and vocabulary for example, but let’s look at a practical example of completely unintentional change in grammar and phonology.
In Latin, there were 3 genders: masculine, feminine and neutral, marked at the ending of words. In the descendants of Latin, the same spontaneous changes that create different accents of the same language happened to make the neutral ending sound identical to the masculine one, and so they were merged.
There is no series of choices, no magical void.
Chinese people did not choose to not include that distinction, and people speaking languages with that distinction did not choose to include it either.
Grammatical gender is a structure that appears and disappears through spontaneous processes that happen over the span of several generations. We can support inclusive language and gender equality without making unscientific claims.
I say this as someone who appreciates the content you regularly post. Let’s keep to the facts, comrade.
western politicians are truly in tune with the common people
eyewitness accounts suggest that the anomaly resembled comically large chopsticks
First of all, if you believe you might be struggling with depression and you aren’t taking medication yet, consider consulting a psychiatrist. I say this as someone who is currently taking medication for depression. I know it clouded my own thinking in ways that seem absurd looking back.
The empire’s growing need for militarism and showing overwhelming force against countries that can’t fight back is a reflex of geopolitical and geoeconomical weakness. Those areas are precisely where China is advancing, and the CPC can’t jeopardize the well-being of over 1.4 billion citizens to station gunboats on the other side of the world, which would help Venezuela’s situation nowhere near as much as you think.
Of course you are feeling miserable right now, that is a natural reaction to recent events, all of us here in lemmygrad are. However, we can’t throw our hands up and let go of dialectical materialism. Despair is useless for us, let the unpunished crimes fuel burning hatred towards the empire and work for a future where it will fall.
This is not blind optimism, it will still take a very long time and we will see many victims suffer with no way to help them. Even then, I know rationally that the enemy cannot win in the end, because they operate using the sociological equivalent of flat earth theory.
I condemn Maduro for not executing both Guaido and Machado for treason when he had the chance. The “evil dictator” treats his enemies with silk gloves…
Are those the same people who were bawling their eyes out during Lizardbeth’s funeral?
mom, i want lula from the un speech
we have lula at home
lula at home: socdem
A human being forced to live in an extremely individualistic and alienating society, counter to our natural disposition, experiences mental suffering derived from the lack of connection with other people and subconsciously seeks it from idealized representations of other human beings.
The result is an addictive and unhealthy parasocial relationship, which can currently be seen all over the capitalist world with “girl/boyfriend AI” but was already present in Japanese “idol culture” and kpop.
I assume this kind of thing doesn’t happen in AES, or at least to a relatively insignificant extent.
human rights and zionazism go together like oil and piss
Placing the ukkkraine flag next to the Palestine flag is a greater insult to me than all that word salad
zionazis love using the holocaust as a shield against criticism of their depraved crimes yet they are the main emitters of hitler particles today
