If you understand the way things are right now is broken, you should understand that you ALWAYS have a choice to stop being cynical, fight for your freedom and fight for what's right.
I wasn't ONLY talking about reddit in this post a while back. https://lemmy.world/post/858027
Choose to be creative. Choose to be sincere. Choose to be a human again.
Image Transcription:
The image is titled "HUMANS WERE MADE TO".
Below the title are 5 images and 6 lines of text. The first image is that of a person sitting on a chair at a desk. The text beside it reads "Sit at the desk 9-5".
The second image is the Netflix logo, the text beside it reads "Come home every night to watch Netflix".
The third image is a person wearing a backpack, shorts, boots, and a hat. The text beside it reads "Explore the world for only 2 weeks out of the year".
The fourth image is that of a box containing an assortment of items, the text beside it reads "Have zero creativity".
The fifth image is that of a person sitting on the floor with their knees drawn up to their chest, the text beside it reads "Have every single aspiration beaten out of them".
Underneath the images is a final line of text reading "THERE IS nothing MORE TO LIFE."

The scary part is that this doesn’t even sound bad to me anymore.
Work is a scam, take what you need and burn your bosses.
Y’know…I’m reading The Way We Never Were by Stephanie Coontz.
For much of humanity’s time in modern civilization, everyone worked. Constantly. From childhood to old age. The worst period was from industrialization to the labor movement. Literally worked to death. Probably one of the worst periods in human history with massive disparity and horrendous working conditions. The modern era is luxurious for many compared to what we used to have.
Exploring the world for two whole weeks every year sounds awesome
You guys are exploring the world for 2 weeks? Lucky.
Yeah we're supposed to never leave our village for our 40 year lifespan, fear this that go against our myths and tradition and violently castigate those we deem different enough for us.
Or maybe civilization itself was too much and we should live in even smaller groups with our numbers limited by no agriculture.
Why do we hate Netflix and abundant food?
I'll never understand the 9-5 thing. Even years ago, the people who didn't have shitty hours worked like 8-4:30 or something. Most people don't actually work 9-5.
Wow, wow, wow!!! TWO WEEKS?! Calm down Bear Grylls! Too wild man, too wild!
False. Actually includes 7 hrs of shitposting at night.
2 weeks? I get 1 week. And if I want to split that up, too bad. It has to be 40 concurrent hours.
2 weeks seems like a lot. Anyway I can dwindle that down to less?
This truly is the best of all possible worlds!
Because you owe them
