Excerpt
Title: Parasites and Profiteering How Health Crazes and parasitic Infection Illustrate The Wellness, Aesthetics, and Fascism of Free Market Healthcare. Excerpt: Healthcare in our post-postmodern era is not health but an aesthetic wellness, a chance to express ourselves through commodities. The disciplined strength of the gym bro, the effortlessly chic Pilates princess, the spiritually evolved yogi, the arcadian lifestyle of the crunchy mom. Wellness is a sort of behavior-fashion that sells us symbols of health, as if health is a purely individual pursuit. However, we are not in a crisis of wellness, or fashion, but a crisis of health. A crisis spurned by individualism, organized abandonment, climate change, crumbling infrastructure, and inadequate regulation.

Holy shit this is so good
From the article: Contemporary gym ads focus on rigidly isolated self-improvement: be your best self. Create a new you. We don't exercise, we don't work out: we train, and we train in fitness programs with names like Booty Bootcamp, as if we're getting our booties battle-ready to fight in the Great Booty War. There is no promise of intimacy. Like our heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, like Rico and Dizzy and all the other infantry in Starship Troopers, we are horny only for annihilation. Also from article: Is there anything more cruelly Puritanical than enshrining a sexual ideal that leaves a person unable to enjoy sex?

Wow dawg sounds riveting
Forgot alt text for first post- It’s an Amazon recommendation for a book called “the Woke mind” Book overview: Many Americans are confused when they hear that smiling is now racist or that men can have babies. The Woke world is a field of landmines, and no one can be completely sure that where they step is safe. This book explores the psychology driving the current social justice movement. Rooted in a newer form of Marxism, this movement takes Critical Theory and Postmodernism and applies them to identity politics. Social justice ideology fosters different symptoms of mental illness in those who adopt it, such as depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, narcissism, and paranoid delusions. This mindset has led to riots causing billions of dollars in damages, college campuses torn apart by protests, and activists permanently altering the bodies of children in the name of progress. Noticing these changes and objecting can get you “canceled,” but more and more people in the West are starting to speak out. This book serves as a foundation for understanding the Woke mindset. Book overview continued: This extensively researched book is the synthesis of the previous five books in the series. Book one, Problematic, is an explanation of the psychology of the social justice movement. Book two, Building Insanity, is a review of the philosophical theories that inform Woke ideology. Book three, Burn it All to the Ground, shows how the theories of Wokeness manifest in real life, such as how Critical Race Theory led to the burning of cities during the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020. Book four, The Ivory Towers of Madness, shows how this ideology moves from universities into the broader culture. Book five, The Cult of Culture Warriors, gives case studies in social justice fanaticism, such as cancel culture. This book, The Woke Mind, summarizes those five books and presents all of the material in a readable way in one place. This book will help you understand what it means when people say that gender is a social construct, that knitting is racist, that men can have periods, or that "Whiteness is problematic." Woke ideology burst onto the scene, asking everyone to buy into it before it was ever explained. This book is essential reading for anyone trying to understand the social justice movement or how these ideas have penetrated every part of contemporary society.

I was paraphrasing Mao but REAL & he would agree!!
From Mao’s ON THE CORRECT HANDLING OF CONTRADICTIONS AMONG THE PEOPLE The contradictions between ourselves and the enemy are antagonistic contradictions. Within the ranks of the people, the contradictions among the working people are non-antagonistic, while those between the exploited and the exploiting classes have a non-antagonistic as well as an antagonistic aspect. There have always been contradictions among the people, but they are different in content in each period of the revolution and in the period of building socialism. (Note: “reactionaries” here refers to counter-revolutionaries such as fascists and upper classes who do not ally with the working and peasant classes.) In my article "On the People's Democratic Dictatorship", written in 1949, I said, "The combination of these two aspects, democracy for the people and dictatorship over the reactionaries, is the people's democratic dictatorship." I also pointed out that in order to settle problems within the ranks of the people "the method we employ is democratic, the method of persuasion, not of compulsion". Again, in addressing the Second Session of the First National Committee of the Political Consultative Conference in June two, I said: The people's democratic dictatorship uses two methods. Towards the enemy, it uses the method of dictatorship, that is, for as long a period of time as is necessary it does not permit them to take part in political activity and compels them to obey the law of the People's Government, to engage in labour and, through such labour, be transformed into new men. Towards the people; on the contrary, it uses the method of democracy and not of compulsion, that is, it must necessarily let them take part in political activity and does not compel them to do this or that but uses the method of democracy to educate and persuade. Such education is self-education for the people, and its basic method is criticism and self-criticism.
