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.

    I can guarantee you this guy is not alienated. Societal alienation occurs when your entire life revolves around the production of productive labor for your boss. His life, while dominated by that, is not that, because he has the time, money and energy to make well-produced little TikTok videos. Ultimately, he is in a better spot than 98% of the world right now, and he is not alienated from society. Society caters exactly to his every need, he is the ideal consumer/producer. A self-austere man who keeps to himself. The only way he is alienated is in terms of his labor value, of which I guarantee he is have less of his actual labor value stolen.

    Also, most people I know don't work a 9-5 or get to go home for lunch so he can fuck off with that 'normal job' shit. If he's so fucking bored he can run on a manufacturing line.
