I see right, yeah, it's the conditions social and material that give rise to the "disorder" whereas if we fix the conditions, it just evaporates. Like abolishing slavery or private property.

While we're at it don't get me started on people who have these giant bookshelves, practically floor to ceiling, then when you go to visit it's all the woke books, subverting fiction motifs, and really dense theory that shows they really take kindness and truth seeking seriously - it's like, I get it you're smarter and more empathetic than me. But it's not like you have to throw it in my face. I can see their big beautiful bookshelf from the sidewalk for fuck's sake.
