Appalachia Wellness Center

welcome back to our 2-part special on the healthcare industrial complex... part 2. today four1111s returns to center on an important piece of neoliberal capitalist logic - the individualisation of struggle - which tells us that our actions alone determine our future, while ignoring the collective economic shitstorm of struggle that plays a much bigger role in the poisoning of our social relations in general. drinking more water and meditating for 10 minutes a day won't make your job any more bearable. going vegan and hunting down every single plastic straw for destruction won't curb the real contributors to climate change. how do we understand the struggle for the improvement of society as a collective one? how do we connect healthcare justice with housing justice? with reproductive justice? with food justice? capitalism has its claws in every aspect of our world, and we cannot interpret anything in a vacuum. it's all connected - just like each and every one of us - even when we're alone at home in the dark playing The Outer Worlds in our underwear. twitter: @APPwellcenter, @four1111s instagram: four1111s
