#quiet quit

[daydreaming-in-daisies]

there's literally nothing revolutionary about "quiet quitting". that's just called doing the job you're paid for now shut up and unionize your workplace lmao

is your local overachiever studyblr user playing directly into the capitalist machine?

oh no! you’re an overachiever. you’ve been conditioned that your productivity equals your worth, and now you’re super burnt out. life is a series of never ending hurdles. high school valedictorian. good university. amazing gpa. killer internship. stable career. reproduce spawn into the same system.

sound suspiciously like capitalism? that’s because it is!

those aesthetic studyholics on your dash might need more help than a good night sleep, they need MARXISM! your labor is being exploited, and you are ultimately jumping from production machine (graded school work) to production machine (evaluated professional work) and you’re being stolen from! your time, value, and personhood are all being stolen from you. once you graduate with those amazing grades, you will enter a top tier job where you will be undervalued, overworked, and forced to continue to perform at an impossible standard, all while your labour is exploited.

there is no urgency. the urgency is created by a system that wants to own you.

capitalism is sneaky! here’s some more ways it’s hidden under sleek notion templates:

productivity youtubers , study 12+ hours with me , my 3 am morning routine

the bottom line: achievement doesn’t have moral value. there’s nothing wrong with wanting to do well, but the hustle culture, the academic grind, it’s all based in capitalism, and capitalism is based in imperialism. the lower you go, the darker it gets.
