i’m bored of mental health discourse that doesn’t consider capitalism’s effect on people. like sure i take antidepressants to deal with mental health problems, and they change the chemicals in my brain, but the root cause isn’t that the chemicals in my brain were wrong, it’s that we live in an alienating hell system that treats people as commodities
not to be mean, but do you srsly think something else like communism would help your mental health?
i think not having to spend a third of my life doing something i hate surrounded by people i hate in order to not starve would improve my mental health
i think having adequate free access to mental health services would help my mental health
i think not being constantly advertised at and told my worth is measured in how much shit i own or how much men want to fuck me would help my mental health
i think not having to worry about choosing between a roof over my head and a meal in my stomach would improve my mental health
1. The job that you do to not starve, who would do it? In this communist fantasy, who is doing these undesirable “wage slavery” jobs? As long as it’s not you, it’s okay? Or is there some weird schedule that forces everyone to do that job on a cyclical basis and in return offer no rewards?
2. There is free access to mental health in many capitalist countries, incl NZ and Australia
3. Fair point
4. Again, who is doing these things? Say we’re all provided free food and free shelter, who’s building the houses, who’s making the food?
I just want to genuinely know, considering no one ever answers these questions.Actually in New Zealand free mental health care is increasingly difficult to access.
Fair enough, I don’t live there anymore so I’ll take your word for it. I’m still waiting for someone to answer my first point tho, nobody ever seems to.
That’s cause they don’t have an answer lol.
i am definitely definitely DEFINITELY not a commie but
1. in a world where one doesn’t need to work to earn money to live, one would work because they like to do their work. op would not be doing this job, but there would be another person who’s passionate about statistical analysis and data reconfiguration or whatever the fuck else who would be doing their job because they WANT to
2. already addressed, and i can attest to that.
3. most def fair point, bro
4. someone who is passionate about building houses and making food, and who went into those jobs instead of trying to become a medical doctor or a fucking lawyer or whatever because that’s what they thought they needed to be in order to be successful.
honestly i don’t get this attittude that people have that if we give money and shelter and food to people all they’re gonna do is fuck off all day long and do nothing
have you tried doing nothing all day long? that shit’s fucking boring as hell man
Garbage men though, toilet cleaners. The jobs nobody likes. Who does those?

The best hung about being called an “unrepentant terf” is the implication that some women are or should be REPENTANT about being women-focused.

white people get so bored of their own bland culture that they start going on ‘spiritual journeys’ to look for cultures they can appropriate
or maybe so they can like… grow spiritually??????
if ‘growing spiritually’ means u have to water down and commercialize culturally significant practices and then continue to disrespect people who actually belong to those cultures…. then u can grow spiritually in my ass since u wanna be a piece of shit

Wearing a korowai (feather cloak) when I graduate, and attending the Maori ceremony when I graduate in a couple years. What are your thoughts?
Pertinent facts: yes, I do have Maori heritage (it’s not much, but it is there and I know my whakapapa (genealogy). It would be an authentic modern taonga (treasure) created by a maori artist. A graduation is an appropriate occasion to wear such a garment.
Basically I’m wondering if it’s possible to be “too white” to wear korowai while still having that Maori heritage
Please assist me on this someone
