That means so much to me, thank you. I’m glad this resonated with someone else.

Man, I felt what you said about healthcare. I was studying to try to go into the medical profession but fell sick with a chronic disease.

I learned through first hand experience that one of the biggest diseases in America is capitalist a healthcare system. There is business when there is sickness but hardly any profit in prevention ;)

Keep up the radical writing!

I was halfway through my MPH during the height of the pandemic. The field is filled with good people but public health will always suffer under this system.

This is so relatable. I sometimes think it's less about becoming radical but more like being forced to acknowledge the NEED to be radical. Many people are still living in too much comfort to feel this necessity in their own bodies but for those of us chewed up and spit out by the system it just becumes painfully clear at some point.

Radical? Ha ha ha ha ha! You lick the anus of terrorists while parroting the moronic lies the Soviet Union wrote for you morons in the 60s. Trump’s your karma and I’m going to make sure the fascists never forget about you.

How can anti-imperialism be anything other then open boarders and soft on crime policy?

Liberalism is what grants us the liberty of being homeless.

Communists like you and Donald Trump are now isolating the country and putting the homeless into reeducation camps.

Shame on you imperial demons for modernism
