Honestly I stopped watching it halfway through when I realized it was just gonna be a jerk fest. Some of it was funny but the whole thing felt like comedy for controversy’s sake rather than controversy for comedy’s sake. It just felt… forced in a way that I didn’t really vibe with. I think his circular style is kinda trite at this point too, the older he gets the more rambly it all feels.
Solanas had a lot of trauma informing her opinions and was really only mainstream for being absurdly inflammatory and shooting Warhol. Also, most feminists don’t want to castrate people, and most is an understatement…
There’s a distinction to be made here. If I stop drinking coffee for a few days I tend to get a withdrawal headache, but that doesn’t mean I’m addicted, it means my body has developed a dependence.
Addiction is a biopsychosocial disease while dependence or tolerance is physiological. Dependence can lead to addiction, but that’s why there’s annoying restrictions on prescribing stimulants. And you have to wean shit like that off, you can’t just stop it stone cold turkey.
It is fun to shit on big pharma and medicine and they sure as shit won’t sell us cures, but stimulants work really well despite the trade offs. Same with pain medications, it’s only an addiction if you let it get to that point.
thanks for using Leebra!
