    I have to ask, why are we even working so fucking hard??

    What has all of this hard work we’ve been doing accomplished? Our infrastructure is failing. We’re throwing food away. We are wasteful and killing the environment. What has ‘hard work as a virtue’ gotten us?

    Can’t we just live our lives??

      It’s not about us. It’s all for our glorious owner class and keeping the dream/lie going🙃

      Check the distribution of wealth in your country and around the world, that’s where the fruits of our work end up. Also just throw-away or downright destructive labor, like making shirts that turn into garbage after one month, or drugs and entertainment products that make people addicted instead of healthy and happy.
