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
yesyis u got it exactly…-
i wan do gud stff!!! dun wan moni… feels like im bein selfish or whatevr-evn tho sadly one needs it… to hav som stff like housin n foodsies n stff…, :(
Exactly.
Money makes everything horrible. I loved every moment of volunteering, I’ve done so many off the wall things because someone needed help and I have a wide skillet. I love saving the day. I don’t even like praise, I just like the satisfaction of knowing I helped
But money makes me feel yucky. I hate talking about it, I hate asking for it, I hate using it… I’m ok with having it, but only if I don’t look at it. I’m even conflicted about rewards for my work
I want to help people. I want a place i can make my own. I want to be free, to have a place where I can build unrestricted
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…,…
Im just saying if you dont like being exploited and abused by petty tyrants to do horrible evil shit, doesn’t that mean you hqte america freedom and puppies?
i nevr rlli understood whad was meant with the merican freedom-… i feel free knowin, thad no matter how bad i get hurt, there will always be healthcare for me ~ ~ <3 id be scared tho knowin thad peeps who wana see me ded, most likely own multiple far-range killing devices,… thads scary to me.,…, i wouldn feel free to go outside…
that no matter how bad i get hurt there will be healthcare
Sorry, No. That’s communism and actually very bad. You should idf your local hospitals asap
be scared that people who want me dead have guns
Oh that’s simple; you just gotta be a straight cis white man who owns property.
scary to me
Okay but admitting that is weak, and means you deserve to be exploited. Maybe make it okay by saying who you wanna genocide?
what is freedom
I mean, you don’t know what real freedom is until you get some slaves
What in the sweet heck are you babbling on about?
im alsu confused bout dis… like - im assumin its vrri direct sarcasm (cuz of the instance they r on~)
I couldn’t either when was 19 and I still can’t now many years later. Waking up to go to work never gets easier.
Work is easy. Being exploited is harder.
dealing with all the daily bullshit they want me to do at work every day is the true difficulty
Right. If you were just doing the thing, even if its not something you were particularly passionate about, even if it were the pain in the ass work of coordination, it would be so much fucking easier.
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!
