Yes, but also the off-the-charts mental health collapse is indicative of a nervous system collapse that is entirely linked to the destructive, extractive economic system we built and cannot live/work equitably and healthfully under. Until that is addressed politically, bring the diagnoses.

So, a cowardly attack to heat up a long-standing Dartmoor culture/land war, in which hereditary farmers feel threatened by ecologist’s efforts to deal with their ignorant “traditions”. The underlying problem is the structure of land ownership in the UK. Nature loses.

You said it yourself- “We can’t organise and struggle if we can’t even afford to feed ourselves or pay our bills.” This is the current reality. It is up to those who are solvent to organise. That increasingly looks like retired boomers- they can either go on another holiday… or get radical.

Family abolition is about asking why families are expected to do everything alone. Asking why housing, food, medical care, love, education and even basic safety, are things you earn through the “right” kind of family. Why family can be the pretense by which these things are denied to people.

Would be interesting to adapt psychotherapeutic talking therapies with speech and language therapy techniques for stroke patients with language difficulties.

Yes, the *system* of land ownership and the (ir)responsibilities attached to nature stewarding need ongoing scrutiny and debate. Not just individual landowners.
