minus-squarehabanhero@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up20·1 year agoDo you really win if capitalism dictates when you should feel / cry?
minus-squareminame@feddit.deBlinkfedilinkarrow-up20·1 year agoBut they don’t dictate it. They win if you cry only when it doesn’t affect them
minus-squarehabanhero@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoThey do. The capitalistic grind makes you think it’s more worthwhile to cry while making money, rather than cry when you needed to.

minus-squarehabanhero@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoBut they get you to cry on their terms. How much is agency worth as a human being - more or less than the hourly wage?

minus-squarehabanhero@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoYet capitalism is ingrained enough for you to think that’s the best option, instead of what you need / want it’s whatever that makes you the most money. So it’s a win for capitalism in the sense that you are the capitalist first, and human second.
