    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.

        The actual point, that I’ve repeated in many different ways here, is that problems caused by capitalist exploitation need to be addressed instead of being papered over. Why is it so hard for you to engage with the point being made?

          So would the Chinese people be better off with psychedelic therapy?

          And if so would that be papering over anything?

            People in China suffering from psychological problems would benefit from therapy the same way any other people suffering from similar problems would benefit. This should be obvious to anybody with a functioning brain. The fact that you felt the need to ask the question is quite strange to be honest.

            Meanwhile, as I’ve repeatedly explained, whether using therapy is papering over anything or not is a question of whether the underlying cause of mental problems could be addressed instead or not. Let me know if you’re still struggling with understanding this.

              OK, so you then believe that psycadelic therapy in China would be papering over the underlying causes of their depression?

                I believe that using therapy instead of treating underlying causes amounts to papering over those causes. The location is utterly irrelevant to the point I’m making. I’m guessing China lives rent free in your head, and you’re evidently unable to form a thought independent of the word China.

                  I just want to expose your BS propaganda headlines for what they are. You frame everything as a failing of america, when in this case having KAP is a sign of progress for america. And not having it is a sign of failure from China. You say papering over underlying problems is a bad thing, but when I mention the mental issues of the tibetans and the uyghurs you jump at the opportunity to paper over their plight by saying their lives get better ever year. When I mention the foxconn workers in China, you paper over it by saying its taiwans fault.

                  You claim to support psychedelic therapy but where is your post that praises it? Where is your post that suggests it be brought to China? The fact of the matter is that you don’t care about the welfare of depressed people, you just want to make shitposts about how bad america is.

                    If you mean you want to make a clown of yourself by making an incoherent argument that has nothing to do with what I say, then you’re doing a fantastic job of that!

                    My post wasn’t about support for or against psychedelic therapy, that’s just a hamfisted straw man you keep trying to build. What I was talking about is how people are drugged up so they can put up with capitalist exploitation. It’s really adorable how you think you’re being very clever here while making a transparently idiotic attempt at an argument. Do better.
