>>2077>Except for the fact that societies (even socialist ones) have never been equal.That's technically true, but wealth inequality in historic socialist society were extremely low.
In the Soviet Union fore example the income inequality ratio never went about 10:1 and went down as low as 3:1.
Compare that to today's capitalist societies were it's usually over 300:1
I'm not interested in what essentially is victim-blaming-ideology. It's useless to blame the depressed for their depression, because you can't really change people. The utility this has is to function as some kind of ideological cover for the suffering that the ruling class is inflicting on people.
I'm guessing that in some kind of advanced future people will able to use medical means to reliably change their mental states. But that is not now, the existing pharmacological means are inadequate, they just bathe the entire brain in psycho-active-chemicals, that might fix one thing but simultaneously screw up 10 other things. This needs laser-focus targeting and that is beyond current technology, the only effective means we have now is changing the environment.
And lets be clear people are depressed because the ruling classes steal the surplus that people produce. So people experience spending a great personal effort for no personal reward, and that leads to depression as a self-preservation mechanism. Consider that this probably evolved millions of years ago as a way to prevent animals from expending too much resources on futile activities.
You also have to understand that ruling classes tend to be mental predators that create depressing environments as means to subdue populations. It's extremely reactionary to obfuscate this, you become an enabler for mental-predators.
It's unlikely that class societies would persist in super advanced societies, because weaponized hyper-technology would make the rivalry for ruling class positions so deadly that societies couldn't stabilize long enough to maintain the technological base. But if they did anyway, you can bet your ass that those same mental predators would use effective-mood altering technology to basically make everybody depressed just so they can subdue people better. And that means they would also be able to victimize you.
So if you want to get to a point where you can point the finger at depressed people and tell them it's their own fault that they don't use the mood-enhancer, without being a full of shit ruling class boot-licker. That's only going to happen in some variant of socialism with scifi brain technology.
