"Capitalist realism insists on treating mental health as if it were a natural fact, like weather (and, incidentally, it is no coincidence that the mental health of so many deteriorates during the winter months)."
Society can and does execute its own mandates, and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself.
