Yeah, the US really tries to transform the human soul into one that is willing to work, even enjoys it, in the context of modern society.
It does this by rewarding those for whom it is true and punishing everyone else and then hopes for natural selection to eventually amplify those who do want to work in modern society.
I’ve been lucky enough to find a job under capitalism where I have more than enough freedom and power in my environment to feel myself.
Checkmate Marx! All that stuff about worker rights is bullshit! /s
But seriously, I wish that wasn’t such a ridiculous unicorn of a thing to find, because that aspect in and of itself has become it’s own shackle. I’m afraid to seek out more competitive pay and lose the (relatively) happy/fulfilling aspects of my job.
karl marx made a video about alienation. it explains how you don’t belong to yourself during capitalist labour and thus don’t feel shit
Shhh, you’re supposed to let the system gaslight you into believing it’s a personal failure of yours and take pills about it

Tbf, I doubt he made a video, as he died in 1883, lol.

Ugh, that last paragraph.
It is a mistake I made fairly recently. Not saying it was wrong to move on, but it was wrong to not realize I had found a unicorn.
