I love that boomers and gen x think tiktok radicalized me into a communist because I can tell you right now the thing that has radicalized me the MOST is working at a business. I see first hand how exploitative and wasteful capitalism is every day of my life. And I have seen the spreadsheets of how much money a worker here produces for the company a quarter (it’s in the millions) and they barely get paid above minimum wage. I know the millions and millions the big guys at the top make in bonuses ALONE while doing a small fraction of the work middle management does. I was told I would get a bonus that was 10% of my salary, and I was so happy because I was gonna use it to make a small dent on my student loans, only for them to say “sorry bad economy :/“ and give me 100 dollars, meanwhile the company profited almost 1 billion dollars last year. You could redistribute a fraction of a fraction of that profit and change the lives of everyone in the company. I see constantly how this business is contributing to the climate crisis tremendously in the name of short term profit for a small few at the top. Living in capitalism radicalized me, not the crochet tutorials I watch on tiktok.

Managers at my corporate office job: Why is morale so low in the office??? Why is everyone so sad???

Also managers at my corporate office job: I know what will fix this…. Another company potluck!

EVERYONE IS EXISTENTIALLY EXHAUSTED!!!! No one can afford to live!!! We went through a collective trauma as a society that no one actually processed and we just keep going on trying to pretend nothing happened!!!! People are working more than ever for less money than ever!!! Corporations are killing us!!! We are staring down the barrel of climate disaster!!!! We are organisms not meant to live so disconnected from one another and from the earth!!! We aren’t meant to live like this!!!! A fucking potluck isn’t gonna fix people’s deep, spiritual wounds!!! Shut the fuck up!!!
