How can I just ditch my computer when this machine is literally how I pay my bills!?
Sure, I'd rather be out farming, but how is that even an option when retail is basically the only way to make a buck these days? Look at this forum—people are asking for advice on how to import goods from overseas, and we’re already importing everything from China, even the yogurt, which we just shove down our throats under some big-box store label.
The average lifespan is maybe 50 years if you count from when you hit 22 or 24 and the fun ends. After that, it's just grinding like a beast. Every single day boils down to:
-commuting to work
-dealing with frustrated assholes
-trudging home on the pavement
-eating
-shitting
-pounding your junk into some fleshy hole
-sleeping
And where’s the spiritual aspect in all of this? Where’s the soul? Has anyone actually stopped to ask if we really live on this crappy planet just to hoard material crap and then die?? What’s the fucking point??
But nope, capitalist propaganda successfully programmed us to live for the grab. I wonder what goes through the head of a capitalist robot at the moment their shell finally gives out. Does anyone even stop to ask, "Wait, why am I doing all this?"
Why are you even looking at what’s profitable? Just plant your own potatoes, corn, wheat... and live. You'll have enough to get by. Sure, you'll be digging with a hoe, and trust me, that sucks (I've been there), but you'll survive. And you won't have to:
-go to a job
-deal with frustrated assholes
-trudge home on the pavement
-eat
-shit, though unfortunately you still have to do that😬
-pound your junk into some fleshy hole
-sleep, you don't even have to do that now😁
If you want to break free from the capitalist grip, stop thinking about profit margins... Only capitalists care about what's "profitable."!!!
Believe me, you'll change your tune pretty fast once you start working with a hoe... 😁
