Stop Whining, Build Communism

Also I swear to god I’m so sick of “radicals” who just want to tear shit apart, and who care more about personal purity and their egos than building the fucking revolution.  I see people snarking about people who “taking too much space by doing too much shit” (obvs you can take too much space in meetings or too much capacity of an org, but if it’s just you getting work done…) and it’s like "there is a nearly unlimited amount of space for building revolutionary shit.  If they’re building something, go build some other thing or help them… or whatever.  They’re not stealing your thunder.  Don’t let the fact that their effectiveness and productivity makes you feel like you’re not Mr. Kickass Activist make you a jealous, bitter liability.”

Also the problem with “big pharma” isn’t them sneakily pushing drugs on people who don’t need them

They already have a large captive market called “people whose lives and/or quality of life are dependent on something only the one company can supply”

And basically you’ll pay pretty much anything to not die so like it’s having all these hostages readily available. They don’t need to feed you Ritalin. They can just charge thousands and thousands of people whatever they want for “keepsyourheartfromexplodingestra”.

I think the reason for the popularity of the “pill mill” narrative is that liberals kinda know that our medical system is evil but can’t acknowledge crimes of omission, so have to come up with a narrative where it’s a crime of commission and people don’t need medical treatment anyway.

Leftists who turn their personal beefs into political ones should be ashamed of themselves.

The personal is political but not like that. The revolution is impossible if your ego is more important than building a viable movement.
