Going into university research because of this. I can't imagine selling my soul to a company and work my whole life for someone else's profit.
it's very cathartic to just tell people "living in a capitalist society is slowly whittling away at my soul", i recommend it
I was asked what my plans were for the 4th and I said, "cry mostly"
They didn't hear me. So I repeated it. I think they were hoping for a different response. Lol
just graduated from college 6 months ago and yea pretty much this. i wanna work in creative fields and people are always like oh thats not very lucrative or whatever tf and its like well even then i think if i worked a job i hated or wasn’t interested in at all just for money, i would literally kms. not even hyperbole i would be driven insane 😭
and it sucks cuz the job market is balls for everyone rn from what ive seen people saying on job sites and online in general ohhh my goooddd 😭😭 just let me out of here dawg
I mean, honestly? If you do anything hard enough capitalism will yield enough to make it a living... Eventually
Capitalism wants us all to be interchangable cogs, but humans are humans. People like passionate people, if you want to weave baskets out of trash, you could just refuse to accept "that's not a job" and do it all day every day
By sheer force of will, you can turn anything into a job. It's probably not going to make you rich, there will be hard times, most everyone in your life will almost attack you for it every step of the way, but if you refuse to bend eventually the world will
I know exactly what I want to do precisely because I can imagine a bearable life after capitalism >:3
(Hint: what I want to do is a workers revolution and class war)
:3
That sounds fun, mind if I join?
All comrades are invited to the revolution :3
yesyis :(
i wan to work becuz the work is meamingful, does somthn, gets peeps forward...,..,..
but currntli im jus fueling climate change, big evil moni-rich cspitalists n trend based economics---iduno, doesn feel as fun.,,
That's one of the big lies of capitalism. Everyone likes to work. We just don't like being told what to do, and we especially don't like to be exploited
My best interaction today was helping someone pick up the peanut butter stand he knocked over - I only picked up like 4 jars, but I lived up to my morals and that felt nice. I turned an embarrassing event into something communal, we exchanged like three sentences, and at least three people's days were made better for a minute long event
It feels good to help. It feels good to do. The money (and implicit coercion) is what makes it feel bad
Okay but have you considered that meaning is woke, helping others is communist, and doing things that arent evil is suspiciosly close to anarchism and you should be hanged for your heresy?
no.. no i havent.
i kno - blablabla nothin has meanin, we assign the meanin yesyes i kno-....
i feel ur using very... harsh language in response to my comment ...,.....
EDIT: wait hold on! ur the same peep who commented on my stff two times today alrdi! imma be on the lookout.,.... from now on..,...
yep. i don't wanna have a bullshit job where i do nothing meaningful, and i don't wanna work >14 hours a day.
14 hours is actuallly yolerable, if a lot, when you're doing good shit.
Samesies.
Just become a small business owner and start voting for mussolini or something, not that hard!
