working full time is terrible why do we just accept that having 8 days off a month is normal and okay........ being alive could be cool but we waste it at our JOBS.... sorry iām just heated about capitalism again iāll be fine
not to be dramatic but the amount of people commenting on this post that I should stop whining and be grateful for having two days off a week when they only get one or none is...... literally proving my point that weāre all brainwashed ghfjhddjfk... thats like if someone cut off your arms and then only cut off one of mine, you focus on how much worse you have it instead of the fact that weāre still both fucking bleeding outĀ
Fuck capitalism.
Not only should we all be working less for the sake of our collective mental health, we should be working less for the sake of the planet. The overproduction/overconsumption aspects of capitalism are linked at the hip and weāre spending way too much time at work, all to churn out profits for rich assholes weāll never meet, all to produce (and throw away) endless waves of junk that donāt make us happy anyway. Thereās all kinds of ways we could reduce the workweek and expand the freedom of all ā automation, labor-saving planning, the removal of ābullshit jobsā from an economic context where people need to work them or starve, etc. ā but first we need to acknowledge that capitalism is really really bad at cultivating human freedom (and free time in general) for the vast majority of the population.
