What I thought would eventually turn into a subreddit where we could spread information about community organizing, activism, and making changes to how western society approaches work culture, just turned into yet another AITA, relationshipadvice, JustNO___, etc. A bunch of bot accounts, teenagers who are desperate for attention, and karma farmers in general, looking to get the next good rage porn story in that will generate tens of thousands of upvotes, and hundreds of thousands in engagement, just to disappear off to have their accounts sold to the highest bidder. I had such high hopes for this place. It's a damn shame.

I don't feel I can have a happy life here. we live in this big world and I always hear people from other countries talk about their government's policies and see the results of standard of living surveys and wonder why I stay here. I don't want to die a wage slave. I have even moved to a career better suited for my me. I am happier but still always have the authoritarian regime being my overlords. The Netherlands looks like a nice option but I can't claim political asylum and I don't know if I qualify for immigration.

Having two jobs is seen as a noble thing with some people increasing income by 100 percent in some cases. How does this not affect inflation but raising a wage from 14 to 15 euro an hour will spin the price of burgers into the stratosphere?

Add a second minimum wage earner to the family or a higher paying job for one earner and it was no problem! Today, I find young people (many at least) have given up on the dream of home ownership. Working hard doesn’t lead you to realizing your dreams anymore. It might have at one time, but not anymore.
