if you ever in a million years dare to compare simply working for a living to slavery, you have demonstrated a profound lack of understanding of our present situation. you are not trapped in some demonic capitalist system, you are actually among the most fortunate human beings ever to live. the norm for many centuries was subsistence farming, where all hours with sunlight are devoted to the maintenance of crops and animals just to get enough calories to survive. we, on the other hand, enjoy such general wealth that many of us have still never done any job into our twenties or even later, allowing us time to get educations on advanced topics, time and options to shape our lives and become fully realized .. and STILL people complain as if some unique kind of HARM has been done to them. the lack of perspective is truly mindboggling
If you ever in a million years dare to compare simply working for a living to slavery...
if you are a young person in America feeling like life has done you wrong, i hope you can go spend time in somewhere like rural areas of thailand, vietnam, cambodia, burma, etc. spend the whole day making bamboo traps for eels and placing them out in the fields in the hopes of having something to eat and come back and try to say again how it's just SO AWFUL to have to wash dishes or make sandwiches or help people try on shoes or whatever other entry-level job, all the while completely surrounded with other opportunities to make money, unlike the farmers out in the rural areas i described .. omg, that kind of attitude is not just wrong, it's like completely backward in every way, profoundly misguided. there is nothing whatsoever shameful about doing any kind of useful work
i want people to get the understanding that for almost all of history, humans had no options but to spend all day trying to live.
for some people it is a huge deal when a factory is built close enough to their village. for the first time ever in their family, they have the option to do something other than subsistence farming.
the mentality on /biz and places like it is pure mental poison
people who live better than EMPERORS of the past, convincing themselves they've got it bad, that they are being raped by an evil system. profound loser mentality
i mean they are truly feeling uncomfortable, probably due to lack of purpose, but that is the nature of life to feel at least vaguely uncomfortable.
to be born in an area surrounded, completely SATURATED with opportunity, is an incomparable gift.
baka.
the use of "cucking", "cuck", etc is also really inappropriate. people say it because they have the impression they are doing the work, but the boss is getting paid the most, ie they are working for someone else rather than themselves. it makes sense at first glance. but in the broader perspective it's stupid because the people talking like that have the same opportunities to be the boss that the boss does, but they do not want to do all the things required of the boss.
the boss is getting up at 4am and the boss is done when the work is done, not at a certain time of the clock. the boss is driving people to and from work whose cars are having problems. the boss made a big investment to even start the business. the people using the term cuck could do those things, but don't want to, are not willing to. they put blame on something external when the limiting factor is themselves, as with most things in life
it's extremely perverse because some people act as if they are being harmed by their boss when in fact their boss is providing an opportunity they would otherwise not have.
Hey Boomer...
Shut the fuck up and die
Very nice this is some good larp
You're a massive fag. Life may have been physically tougher back then, but it's mentally tougher now. Wow I wish all I had to do was try to find something to eat all day while keeping physically fit, at least I would be occupied and have a fucking drive to do it
Instead I am confined to working within certain hours of the day and I have to constantly be coming up with ways to """innovate""" or solve some fucking problem that in a unique way nobody has done before, or else they would have already done it and i would be out of a job. Every day is a constant struggle to maintain mental clarity against fatigue, while also having to sit at a desk unable to exercise my body needing to stretch every hour or so just to prevent my blood from fucking clotting and giving me a massive heart attack or stroke. At any moment my """NON KEK""" boss has the free will to just fire me and make me live on the street. I want another job? Good luck when they ask and find out your old job fired you for not being grateful enough
suck my fucking dick and die of Alzheimer's as soon as possible
People back then had it a lot easier than you're implying
This. Read some Ted K you fucking faggot.
HUrray. we can study for 20 years to develop some fucking totally insgnificant discovery that will be obsoltete in 2 years anyway. Meanwhile,.everyone you know is a smartphone addicted zombie who lacks any real human interaction or sense of purpose in their lives. Meaningless people doing meaningless shit to buy meanigless shit to make other meanigless stranger's jealous.
THose fucking sergs and subsitence farmers had freedom and autonomy on a level we can't even comprehend.
