Yeah, sounds about right.

These people do definitely have something wrong with them, it's just that liberal society rewards that while pathologizing people who can't fit into capitalism and to a lesser degree all the normal people like you and me who don't have any form of "line go up" disease.

If we want to consider them mentally ill, that requires a complete restructuring of the societal role that "mental health" as an institution occupies.
