reminds me of a bit on my favorite podcast why theory which goes a little something like this: white racists like to caricaturize Mexican immigrants as lazy. The lib daily show retort is "uh so lazy they also steal all our jobs?" (they did a hypocrisy and that is bad). The galaxy brain Hegelian retort is of course they are lazy and of course they are hardworking, because people are and it's dehumanizing to talk about immigrants as though they are one or the other.
I know from personal experience that I'm a lazy slug who works until their legs fall off.

Protestant Work Ethic / Hustler Grindset / Always Be Closing
Work Smarter Not Harder / YOLO / Treat Yo' Self
The contradictions of the modern western capitalist mindset seek to both apologize for the wasteful hedonism of consumer culture and chastise the layman for failing at frugality. You are only entitled to your own time and labor when you have accumulated sufficient surplus wealth from your neighbors, at which point your neighbors are obligated to "hustle" in order to provide you with that to which they aspire.
What if the entirety of Western Civilization was nothing but a MLM scheme?
