I got a new job and finally getting ready to move out of my parents' house, but my god rent is comically expensive where I'm at (like everywhere else). There aren't many places to look for roommates outside of craigslist (which I'm trying to avoid). It's looking like I might have to spend close to 40% of my paycheck to afford a 500 sq foot studio
They say you throw away communism when you get your first salaried job, but I think it's making me a third world maoist. Fuck all landlords
Lol no, fuck no. Never. Lol. Lmao. I've subsidized so many landlords to the tune of tens of thousands and most of what I actually own is hand-me-downs and secondhand stuff, but not much in the way of savings.
Anyway the material facts of capitalist-imperialism (exploitation, alienation, profligacy, infinite growth on a finite planet, economic instability, antidemocracy, etc) are still true regardless of your position in the hierarchy.
So when people tell you that your politics inevitably change the moment you get your first real job, what they're really doing is showing their whole ass and demonstrating that their worldview was always only purely self-serving.
