He’s right to point out that either no alternative is offered or the alternative is just more regulated capitalism with a stronger safety net.

There’s never any real discussion of detailed fixes in this kind of complaint—because that might acknowledge we can fix the problem without overthrowing the system. There’s never any argument about how under socialism (or some other alternative economic model) public policy tradeoffs, political failures, or scarcity just wouldn’t exist.

That’s certainly a way you can describe something.

haha

yeah

I eventually graduated.

The short version - my mental health was fucked up, including a very intense anxiety I had about school.

Only leaving school, lucking into a job with good healthcare, earning enough to be independent for the first time ever, seeing a therapist AND taking medications, made me stable enough to finish.

Plato’s political career failed so bad that he invented a reason for why only he should be allowed to do politics.
