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.
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.
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.
if i get injured on the worksite and i’m given drugs & care to recover it is ‘papering over’ the mistakes & conditions that led to my injury, and getting me back to work faster. but i rather prefer that to having a longer convalescence–>possible unemployment & future medical consequences. don’t you? even state-run medical systems can be critiqued for prioritizing getting people back to work over the best interests of the patients, but i don’t see how complaining about novel therapies being offered to some privileged workers is a good way to make that point
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.
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.
Also, drugging people up shouldn’t be used to paper over brutally exploitative working conditions that cause psychological damage.
They’re not taking ketamine to be high during the work day, it helps as an anti-depressant like medication

So we should hate healthcare insurance from companies?
We still live in a capitalist society
Just go organize irl if this bothers you so much

Of course? Insurance is one of the biggest scams of all time right beside rent
I meant like over not having it from a company
idk this post just seems insanely circlejerky considering we’re all commies here
drugs help people beyond workplace productivity?

That is indeed not what I meant to say there, and I can’t help it if people choose to aggressively misinterpret what I was very clearly trying to say.
