    The best thing young people can do early in their careers in go in on weekends, preferably armed and with bike locks, set up defensive infrastructure, then await their employers arriving on Monday. What better way to climb the ladder than emancipating yourself from it, executing your bosses in a worker's tribunal, and seizing your workplace and putting it under joint worker control with an equal share of what you produce?

    I'm not sure why this is controversial? When young people have less chance of an increase in their standard of living and more free time, why wouldn't you spend it eliminating the bourgeoisie and seizing the means of production?

    You don't have capital, a militarized police force, or a future. Literally, your best assets are your labour and maybe a crate of AK47s.

    Use the latter to emancipate yourself from the former!

    When you're young & have less demands on your time, why wouldn't you spend more of it hustling?

    Because I'd rather spend that time doing literally anything else

    Yeah work your ass off your whole life so you can enjoy it when you're 70. Or 75. Or whatever neoliberalism has decided the retirement age should be in 40 years.

      you know, it's rare to have anything in life: career, partner, hobbies, time, etc. Just concentrate on failing at one thing and kill yourself.

    You're only young once. Spend it doing young person stuff, like meeting people and enjoying your youth.

    The best thing as young person to invest in your career is a small loan about 14 million dollar so you don't have to work.

    For everyone not able to do that the best idea is to organize and throw down the system.

    Rich people are laughing their ass off. Everybody who makes money gets paid for results, not "grinding".
