The question of "you" is wrong, the question is about the social relations and ideology. If for the sake of the argument the social relations accept you as you and you are forced to pull levers to sell your labour to survive what difference does it make?
The simulacra is the simulation and so on (if you remain a worker afterwards capitalism is fine with you pulling the lever)
Furthermore the ideology of capitalism is it which gives the fictive self the ultimate worth of being unique! Neither self is the true self, as such a thing doesn't exist like human nature exists, however humans do exist, but they always do so in specific social relations and in specific individualitys.
The true uniqueness and freedom of expression can not be achieved on any side of the lever but only outside of the system of levers - as Marx said in capital volume three.
I say it is a mind game if you think about stuff that is related to the lever.
If you don't look at the social structure and the material conditions (I changed a bit in my original text).
Whatever "choice" you take you in regards to lever pulling - you are pushed in the current system to pull levers and that system you can't escape from and neither can post-lever-you escape that capitalism (at least not on their own).
The idea of how unique we as individuals are of course has tradition but the specific way of that you do exist in capitalism to consume and to fulfill your desires is very specific and increases the "you ought to not pull the lever" vibes.
However if it is for work then of course you ought to pull it -says capitalism.
Fascism did say: if it is for the nation pull the lever and keep pulling.
In socialism we will not create structures which just kill people for no reason. Also we know thanks to the Tschernobyl engineers and the red army that no sacrifice is too great to be done for the good of our comrades and those who need us to defend them - as we need them to defend us.
just the idea that someone dies in the process lmao
I will do reddit take:
