In response to that specific question, she might have just described what socialism is and why we need it. She could also have pointed out why the framing of the question is bullshit.

I’m not like shocked or shook by what she said, but I do question the agitational value of being asked about socialism and then effectively pointing to more capitalism as the way forward.

I mean, I took Gabapentin for several years, stopped cold turkey, and the withdrawal was basically not noticeable, maybe slightly harder to get to sleep (YMMV).

It feels kinda nice and relaxing, but doesn’t really get you high especially considering there is a dose ceiling above which you don’t get any additional effects.

It is in no way in the same league as a recreational drug to most opioids.
