we must live, grusha! live!

gets a little funny being ideologically raised in the halls of anti psychiatry , seeing most clinicians as horrible people, seeing even social workers as mostly a poisoned well , talking a big game about how they should all be shot, teachers too they’re here too. and to be anti psych, to be endlessly critical of the medical establishment, of educational institutions, etc, these are undoubtedly principled and more importantly correct positions to take, it’s something I hold closer to me than anything else . but in real life it’s still true that a lot of the people in these professions I’ve mentioned are like. basically at the forefront of what might be considered any semblance of a real labour movement. they’re treated like absolute dirt and their workplaces are little boxes designed to create horrible abuse on every rung of the cruel hierarchies that have been established and a lot of our society would simply stop functioning if people who do reproductive labour like this just stopped doing it and they know that which is why they keep organizing and striking. I’d like to think these are truths the average person on here would be able to hold in their brain all at once but lately I’m not so sure anyone’s anything but a moralist. which, like, I don’t think was ever the point in the first place.

Know your marxist terms!
