I am true anti-work. I often hear the rebuttle to this being that it's important for individuals to contribute to society in some way.
I think this is total bullshit, work is the reason I am not contributing to society.
I was off work the entire pandemic, I volunteered at an animal sanctuary, a cat rescue, and with a grassroots organization feeding the public. I was available to help friends, do beach cleanups and contribute to society in the ways I see fit.
Now, back to work in stuck improving the lives of rich assholes and providing services i could never even afford if i didn't have the skills to do the work myself… So even though I make ex amount, I would never be able to hire someone like me after my cost of living.
I paint houses for a living and while I enjoy it because it's solitary & non-social work. I think it's bad for the environment and only available to rich people. The type of people I want to help either can't afford to own a home and if they could, they'd certainly be DIYing because they'd never be able to hire a painter.
How do people really think working is the only way to contribute to society?
