@ErikUden there is no fatigue, no depression. Only unhustle, lack of grind.

Don't forget then selling snake oil treatments for fatigue, depression, and other responses to the capitalist system on a monthly subscription plan.
@ErikUden I personally think Autism and ADHD are both natural modes of human function that are medicalized and marginalized because they don't fit into the ideal capitalist laborer mold.
@ErikUden This is meritocracy.
I live in a socialist country, and I can say that the situation you are talking about are not unique to capitalism

@ErikUden But I have none of those things!
@ErikUden So far any ideologically ‘pure’ economic system ends up relying on many laborers to supply a few with obscene excess and convince the workers it’s all good. Ultimately all that matters is who has the biggest army and the most police. Feudalism, Communism, Capitalism, Fascism, Oligarchy - they are all just tribes of monkeys who will murder anyone who tries to form multi-national unions and pit ordinary citizens against each other in wars for plunder.
@ErikUden
i think you're cooking here Erik
let me write a LinkedIn listicle vibing on your post about all the ways i am thankful for the abuses i get from the system, because it leads to, uh, personal growth? in the direction of being a, uh, centered, purposeful, uh, committed wageslave

@ErikUden EXACTLY- when did we come to believe that LIFE shouldn't be a SLACKFUL. SERENE WEAVE- that we need to give up OUR SOULS just to make LIVING- who ever told you that it would be a SLACKLESS ordeal to live - we all toil, sweat and save, building for a shallow grave - successful hills are here to stay, everything must be this way...EVERYDAY
The society has taken OUR SLACK, our SLACK is under attack - not so much any other issue as far was WORKING GOES- it's just how the world is SLACKLESS
@ErikUden@mastodon.de wasn't that just neoliberalism
