9am-9pm, 6 days a week.

I’m a 10am-4pm, 4 days a week kind of person myself, however.

It’s the same bullshit pushed by anyone exploiting labor for their own gain.

Ultimately, you can’t blame predatory psychopaths for being predatory psychopaths. You can only blame those who let them get away with it.

And that’s all of us :)

(Oh and when I say let them get away with it, I mean: celebrate them, make them into statues, teach all of our children that only money and power matters and do whatever it takes to become just like them, in exchange for all humanity and dignity we could have had instead)

Same boat club.

Honestly I’ve reached the point that I hope climate change, that’s presently accelerating, fucks our species shit up to the core and forces our species to start again, because existing like this, subsisting for a tiny group of proud monsters that see us as livestock in perpetuity, sounds like most people will be born into damnation going forward, and as much pain as civilization level collapse would be, it pales in comparison to this system persisting and finding new cruelties to profit from for generations.

Human civilization in its current form seems to exist to find new efficiencies with which to torture most of humanity. Maybe we’d be better off knocked back to depending on one another in smaller groups. Maybe we’d find empathy again. Maybe our planet could start to recover from our damage

Yeah, you’re not alone. I’ve basically become an anti-natalist. I don’t think the ruling / owning class will budge unless their lives are affected. And that won’t happen until there’s no more slaves to support their insane lifestyles.

Summed up concisely. I’ve unfortunately given up hope that anything can be done or can improve. It feels the fight, whatever fight there ever was, has been lost.

I’ve always drawn the dividing line between people who have to work and people who choose to work. The latter can spend every waking moment of their lives ensuring that the former never, ever become one of them. And it sure looks they are succeeding. If the survival of mankind hinges on rich people willingly giving up ANY of their wealth at all, then mankind will perish. To a rich person, giving up wealth is no different than someone suggesting to you that they need to cut your nose, ears and limbs off to save humanity. You’d say no to that as well. In fact, you’d do anything to avoid this scenario. And while you’re slaving away for a minimum wage that should be $25, and quibble over trans rights, the rich laugh into their fists, watching as you still don’t seem to have realised that the bargaining power would be in your hands if you could just unite for a fucking second.
