A term taken from a Chinese proverb about opportunity in a crisis, ‘touching fish’ means being lazy at work – a philosophy China’s Generation Z workers increasingly embrace as a response to being underpaid and overworked.
I feel like this is any job under capitalism. Any leftist will feel like shit at any job because there is so much important work to be done but the capitalist system forbids or disincentivizes it and instead we just waste time on worthless spreadsheets because we have to fucking eat. I wish we had 5-year plans with ambitious goals and something like the CCC but for literally everything. Anything I would consider progress will probably never happen in the US and I'm pretty much trapped here forever because lol borders.
