    Work isn’t the problem. I like working in my yard, on an art project, or helping a friend accomplish a task.

    Jobs are the problem. Having to work a job for money is stupid.

    Incredible that we (allegedly) demand democracy in our government but we’re totally happy with totalitarianism in our economy.

    I’m still coming to terms with the idea that I’m probably experiencing serious burn out.

      It’s brutal. It genuinely feels as though there’s no end or way out, unless the world and the way we interact with one another as a society seriously change.

    Places of employment are a dictatorship with strong coercion to behave as though you do not have freedom.

    (I have to caveat this thing I say all the time, “a job is like slavery” because someone always pops in to let me know I could leave my job any time… )

    I’m a 30yo man who lives in the arctic and I unironically use this phrase at least once a day

    It gets easier the older you get. Once your brain stops processing most of what happens to you due to redundancies the day doesn’t take long at all.
