A recent study published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry sent shockwaves across the scientific community and popular outlets as it disproved the predominant “serotonin hypothesis” of depression. In just two weeks since its publication it has been accessed by nearly half a million people and the subject of dozens of subsequent articles. The researchers analyzed a total of seventeen systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and other large studies focused on the following six tenets pertinent to the “serotonin hypothesis” of depression:

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

The latest inflation data published Tuesday shows that the working class confronts months of immense hardships as wages lose their value in the face of rising living costs. The ruling class’s attempt to make the working class pay for the crisis of capitalism is driving workers into struggle across the world, including in the United States, where teachers, nurses, and possibly railroad workers are launching powerful strikes.

Leftists in the United States are suffering from a propaganda-induced delirium. Revolutionary discipline can get us through the winter storm.

I’m pretty sure that he’s criticizing the PatSocs, such as Haz from Infrared, Jackson Hinkle, and Caleb Maupin (who’s embroiled in his own controversy). To me, Patriotic Socialism is just a gimmick to get Trump supporters to embrace their movement that they claim is Socialist (it’s not, it’s more like right-wing populism).

Quiet Quitting is Work to Rule

Sep 3, 2022 – An exploration of the term Quiet Quitting which keeps appearing in corporate propaganda articles. There is already a term for this that more correctly blames employers called Work to Rule. We explore the labor implications of such a term and some of the articles that blame employees and low end management instead of executives and the system of Capitalism.

I’m not even bothering to link to any corporate media articles, on “quiet quitting”, as they mostly tend to demonize workers, for not working overtime, or taking on extra work. When I worked overtime, on a salary, I was only paid $3 per hour (minimum wage was $7.25 and still is), after 40 hours, and most of the time, it was mandatory overtime. I was expected to do the same work, as everyone else (who made $7.25 + time and a half for overtime), and manage the business at the same time (I was young, single, and dumb). I’m not going to demonize anyone for not going above and beyond without proper compensation.
