A long-standing critique of capitalism lies in its preference for gains over humanity, a detriment that is notably manifested through the practice of planned obsolescence.
This strategy, which is the deliberate design of products to become outdated or nonfunctional after a designated period, is a significant force behind the excessive consumption and waste that characterize our society.

I'm all for natural remedies and traditional medicine, but I think when your "natural remedy" is based on the idea that water can become medicinal by being in the presence of a teeny itty bit amount of something, then it's probably bullshit and you're getting scammed. Go buy some ibuprofen or see a doctor.

Things that can be true simultaneously:

  • The idea that Western medicine is the be-all-end-all of science is based around white supremacy and elitism. Traditional medicine DOES have its place and is incredibly useful, especially when combined with the emotional, social, and spiritual effect it has on people from those cultures and communities. Many people also choose to combine their traditional cultural medicine with Western medicine and that should be respected by doctors.
  • Homeopathy is a fucking scam.
