Oh well I live in the US where the less fortunate are put in prison and forced to be slaves.

When I am allowed to choose to spend my time working twoards the actual benefit of society for a fair wage call me.

Until then I’m not doing any of this voluntarily, it’s against my will. Like a slave

It’s a constant fight for survival, we’ve made the horrible mistake of modeling our systems off of the cruel fuedal hierarchies of the past and the cruel uncaring themes of nature. These are things a fair civil society is supposed to oppose and ours is failing.

Sorry if I can’t delude myself into being a happy slave for some boomer on the internet lol

The difference is in your example the majority of your labor benefits you.

Currently most working people pay off the cost that their existence incurs before age 40. But most people won’t get to retire.

Every year the ratio of work/life keeps getting shifter further away from life. And pretending like Capitalism does us any favors is just ignoring the more practical solutions at this point.

There is no fulfilling job in this system

Having a gun put to your head and being told to work or die is not fulfilling in any way. It’s a hostage situation. It’s slavery.

Tankies want to put minorities in camps as a distraction from real policy while they give money to rich people.

At least that’s what all the politicians they support want.

Im sure all their supporters aren’t that malicious, but that’s who they vote for.

When the “market rate” for the vast majority of jobs pays lower than what people need to live as more than slaves then effectively they are enslaved on a systemic level.

Living conditions that enable people to have actual freedom. Like having agency in their society, having affordable human needs, and having financial freedom be obtainable in time for old age.

I understand that, I’ve tried CBT and it’s impossible for it to help me because it fundamentally depends on accepting you are helpless and doesn’t properly get people in the mindset required to change their lives and society for the better.

If I actually want to give a shit about myself then that’s not something I can DELUDE myself into accepting.

The delusion I’d rather hold onto is that my life will get better, becauase in that delusion there’s at least a happy ending. I have a hard time believing that though.

Anyone who’s seen what happens when mods legitimize trolls knows it kills communities. I wish i could have stayed on blahaj but it’s just as toxic as reddit lgbtq spaces now…

Why are right wingers the only ones who ever try to devalue the meaning of words?

If they don’t like being called tankies or nazis they are free to chage their beleifs, same as you if you feel like you are being grouped in for your beliefs.

I’ve tried really hard to get a job that requires as little from me as possible and still pays the bills.

Life is misery, every week I start knowing I will not be allowed enough freedom to ever stop being a wage slave.

I work to stay alive, and have no chance to plan for the future.

I have nothing to live for besides the people I care about, and my work makes it so I have to spend almost all my time away from them or too tired to interact.

Our world is dying and I can’t even be upset about it anymore, becuse whatever happens will be more fulfilling than this

I don’t think it’s healthy to contort your mind to accept and enjoy being a slave

It takes some serious mental gymnastics to acknowledge you have feelings, and thinking it’s ok to suppress those natural feelings because you can’t really hope to improve anything ever.

It’s probably healthier than consciously working your way through a life of wage slavery.

If I could just delete every Monday-Friday out of my life and toss out 5/7ths of my life I think I would prefer to live for 2/7ths of my lifespan and not be a slave
