and when i see people say shit like “ADD is only a problem because capitalism” it makes me less likely to trust their other analyses because it makes me think their thought process is “blame as much as i can on capitalism for Leftist Cred even in cases where it makes no goddamn sense”
if i could snap my fingers and get rid of my depression and my ADD instantly, i absolutely 100% fucking would. without a doubt.
follow-up: “depression is just being realistic” and “ADD is actually a *good* thing” can fuck the fuck out of here
@dev_ponies bet.
pol, mh (-), suicide, subtoot (but not of someone on mastodon)
@Nezumi To be fair, I think I found the single leftist who does, as everyone else already seemed to be calling them on their bullshit. But (if you can't tell) mental health is a subject that can get me angry quick if you've got opinions this stupid on it, given my experience with depression and the like, and I needed to vent.
@auravulpes like, money is a fake concept the rich use to marginalize/monopolize the lives of the working class. we are literally all being starved for absolute bullshit when everyone can literally and should be taken care of. shit's so ridiculously tragic
@hipsterbeastboy Just to give anyone reading this an idea of just how much that $650 billion is: That could literally pay for my mental health care *21 million times over*. And, that's assuming I have to undergo PHP and IOP once a year (which I would *hope* I wouldn't) and that I'm going to my therapist once a week. For my run of the mill mental healthcare? *108 million times over*. And instead we spend it on multi-billion dollar companies. We're literally letting people suffer for profit.
don't forget the $650 billion in subsidies to convince oil companies to drill for oil.
and how much that alone costs to have folks travel all over the world to further kill the planet and ignore the damages they're doing to local environments
that would pay over for so many folks' healthcare alone...
