(SPK: Turn Illness into a Weapon)
The system and the capitalists physically weaken you and psychologically damage you through belittlement and criticism, and money is no fair compensation to this treatment.

"...our somatic, coporeal, neurochemical individuality has become opened up to choice, prudence, and responsibility, to experimentation, to contestation, and so to a politics of life itself."
(Nikolas Rose 'The Politics of Life Itself: Biomedicine, Power, and Subjectivity in the Twenty-First Century')
