Those in the Imperial Core will never understand that what they consider unbearable hardship and boredom is actually a life of luxury that the vast majority of people on Earth cannot even imagine.
The international division of labor is 1000x more important and impactful than the domestic one.
The depressing part, which libs and cons alike should be able to pick up on vibes but not be able to articulate, is how hyper-atomized his life is. This is absolutely sad, but not because he's eating freezer food, it's because we saw a whole entire day in someone's life that plausibly involved zero face-to-face human interaction.
Capitalism hurts its subjects in the imperial core. It benefits them too, but pointing out that hurt and providing a remedy is necessary for mass organization.
I think that's just a narrative choice in the video. I see a ring on his finger, so I'm guessing there's a wife or husband somewhere. Probably not shown because it wouldn't fit what the video is going for. The video was shot in a certain way, with certain music, to evoke a certain emotional response. And it definitely succeeded in that.
And if he wanted more human interaction (if you assume the video shows everything, I obviously don't), there's plenty of opportunity for it. He gets off at 16:30 and only has to be back at the office at 9:00, and can take lunch. Is it ideal? No, we all want to work less hours, and that should be goal of any movement. But there is lots of time available.

What is the life the video represents?
The dude's married. Like come on.
