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?
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.

For 99.99% of the history of our species, we either worked 12+ hours every day including weekends or we literally starved to death. And at times, people starved to death even though they worked that much, because the system stole what they produced.
Dude, I cannot claim to know exactly what you do day-to-day, but generally speaking we are not working hard in 2024.
Having studied the history of work, this is one of those things that sounds super smart, but is actually half-baked nonsense. As hard and crappy as medieval life was, you still work twice as many days in a year as a medieval peasant did. It gets worse the more societies and ways of life you study.

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🙃
