        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.

            Obviously capitalism has problems, and obviously fixing them would help. But its not like depression would end. And its not like people in China arnt depressed and if psychedelic therapy was used there to help people, I don’t think you would be shittalking it. The foxconn factory I’m talking about is in shenzen, so why don’t you advocate for psychedelic therapy there? Clearly the horrors of capitalism are also ravishing China, so do they not benefit from psychedelics?

              Nobody is arguing that depression would end. Again, this is just the straw man you keep trotting out here. Try engaging with what’s actually being said for a change.

                Im legitimately trying to understand why you think psychedelic therapy is bad…

                you say its papering over the root cause of mental illness, while simultaneously acknowledging that removing the so called “root cause” would still leave a need for it. so why then is it not a good thing? why is the title of your post not: “psycadelic therapy helps americans, its time to bring it to china!”

                It seems obvious your prerogative is to shittalk everything done in the US while papering over the same exact issues in china.

                  I don’t think that psychedelic therapy is bad, and I’ve repeatedly stated this throughout the conversation. Please actually read what I wrote, and then reply to the points I actually made. Thank you.

                    OK so psychedelic therapy is good, its just evidence that america is bad?
