I lucked my way into a tech career. Idk I’m just not the type of person who can close their eyes and say fuck you, I got mine while still seeing others struggle.

I was always vaguely left leaning but one thing that really helped was realizing how fucking little work you actually have to do the higher the position - how can someone bust their ass for 12 hours a day and make not even enough money to eat or pay rent, while someone behind a desk dicking around all day on the internet can?

Before tech I had plenty of experiences, I will never forget the month we starved when our landlord schemed and lied away our deposit, and I will never forget the day cops were beating my friends face in for no reason at all, I’ll never forget my grandpa rationing his insulin and dying.

I lucked out, enough to have a decent quality of life and stability, but this shit isn’t merit based and never has been, maybe I’d be different if I hadn’t seen things up close and ugly before and lived in a nice bubble beforehand. I’ll continue to fight and hope for a better future because ghouls inflicting pain just to make more money than they’ll ever need is a sadistic system.
