Yeah I can understand that, and the modern medical profession is definitely shaped by the capitalist profit motive with all the fuckery that entails. It was mostly the inclusion of landlords that had me confused, since landlords are a profession we can all agree does no useful work and serves no legitimate purpose.
some people do defend landlords as being somehow good or useful though, just not in this space. less people are on board with doctors being evil so i decided to throw the comparison in to illustrate how I have been made to feel about them as a trans person. and I think it’s a fairly close one actually, both roles involve exploiting those worse off for their money by leveraging a monopoly on a basic necessity of life. at least in the case of GPs specifically
