You’re being exploited the same exact way we see as inhumane for animals. You’re simply performing tricks to make your bosses money while you get the “reward” of scraping by with no opportunity in life for self fulfillment. They’re tossing you fish to survive while they live like kings.
Capitalism has dehumanized us. We witness intelligent animals commit suicide in captivity and it sparks such outrage that the practice is (rightfully) under immense scrutiny. We witness other people kill themselves, while billions of others have anxiety and depression stemming directly from how we live our lives and we consider that NORMAL. I know this post is a block of text but it’s honestly really important to remind yourself from time to time how desensitized people have been forced to become to not be constantly outraged at life under capitalism.
I think honestly education about why it is actually capitalism and not an intrapersonal issue is so important. When you learn that it’s not you who is necessarily fucked up but the world you live in things feel slightly more inspiring. It’s nice knowing you’re not a total piece of shit and there is a method to at least one day help people in the future with your ideology in the present
