    Just because a drug has recreational uses doesn’t mean it can’t be mecidinal!

    Being predudiced against therapy is an extremely anti-science position to take

      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.

        Its not like therapy is only good for the ales of capitalism, And it’s not like people don’t need therapy from communism.

        I remember when foxconn was having a string of suicides from their roof, and their solution was to put up a net. That is what I would describe as “papering over the problem”

          And I explicitly said that there’s nothing wrong with therapy of itself. Meanwhile, Foxconn is a Taiwanese capitalist company last I checked. Not sure what that has to do with communism in your mind.

            Well maybe the tibetans or the uyghurs could probably use some therapy then

                You’re unironically saying that only people in capitalist countries need therapy and people under communism simply don’t get depressed?

                  Nope, that’s just a straw man you’re making because you don’t have any actual counterpoint. What I’m actually saying is that mental health problems caused by capitalism should be treated by dealing with capitalist exploitation that causes these problems instead of papering over them using drugs. Evidently this is too complex a concept for you to comprehend, so only thing you can do is bleat about communism while providing further examples of capitalist exploitation like Foxconn.

                Yogthos was insinuating that people in the perfect country of china don’t need therapy, (and continued to do so in the reply) so I pointed out several cultures that are being genocided in china, suggesting that they could use therapy.

                  There are zero “cultures that are being genocided” in China. Tibetans were under serfdom and brutal theocracy before liberation by the PLA, and since have seen a rise in living standards in addition to preservation of culture. For Uyghurs, China responded to US-backed terror with educational facilities and yet Uyghur culture is propped up and praised by the CPC in media in addition to representation in communities.
