Antiwork

…but now I just want to spend time with my wife and daughter. I can't believe why anybody would want to work. I spend 50 of my conscious hours in a place I don't want to be with people I don't want to see, just so I can barely scrape by. My wife will plead with me and ask me to call off work so that we can spend another day together, and I have to disappoint her because I don't have any other choice. Working with people who are suffering just as much as I am, but who will call people using food stamps parasites. They have forgotten who the enemy is. We are all just trying to live the best we can. What does it matter how people get their money? I don't even hate rich people. They got out. Sure, they are the bastards who are the…

“And the great owners, who must lose their land in an upheaval, the great owners with access to history, with eyes to read history and to know the great fact: when property accumulates in too few hands it is taken away.

Have a job where working 60 hours is generally expected and praised, everyone brags about it, but no one really seems happy. They talk about it like they're happy, but you can tell the job is sucking their soul out. I can't imagine why people do this to themselves, I'm so tempted to move far out from the city, get a cheap house and have a relaxing job where I can mostly work on hobbies. Everyone's friends are at work, they all go drink at the pub after a 14 hour day then pass out and do it all again. It's insane, the whole workplace is just brimming with stress. And that's most creative industries, just hussle and stress to be the best. It's very much like they have something to prove to people in the STEM field. 'Our work is just as rigorous as yours if not more.' We…
