I hate working so much I seriously would rather be dead

i'm just… so over being alive in this world. it is so unfair that generational wealth has enslaved all of humanity. it is so unfair to be involuntarily born into this world with no choice in the matter, and then forced to work for the few born into generational wealth. it is unspeakable never ending cruelty. an existence of slavery. and existence completely shaped around the constant stress of money. even “self made millionaires” are still made to work, to turn themselves into some kind of high performing machine to somehow make tons of money. those born into generational wealth don't have to work. they dont have to do anything. their existence is completely different. not shaped by the stress of money, but by the ease and freedom to do literally anything. every single day of my life is a struggle becuase i hate working so much. all the things…

If you want a strike, even a general strike, make it a meme.

I have said it time and again: Memes can build a nation, elect a president, raise an army, and conquer the world. A horrifying numbers of things both good and bad were the result of someone saying “Hey wouldn't it be funny if…” and then someone who heard that did it. Tolerate nothing but the meme of a general strike. Make it a Tiktok challenge, a YouTube phenomenon, an endlessly trending hashtag. Make a subreddit skyrocket a second time. And make it reflect in the real world! It's either this or you start burning shit to the ground, people. Skewer me all you want keyboard warriors, I know this is the right way to go.

Name that move

“Mr. Waturi, Frank. I quit….I’ve been working here four and a half years. The work I did I probably could have done in six months. That leaves four years left over. Four years. If I had them now, like gold in my hand. Here, this is for you. Goodbye, DeDe. This life. Life, what a joke! This situation, this room. You look terrible, Mr. Waturi. You look like a bag of shit stuffed in a cheap suit. Not that anybody could look good under these zombie lights. I can feel them sucking the juice out of my eyeballs. Suck suck suck suck suck. $300 bucks a week. That’s the news. For $300 bucks a week, I’ve lived in this sink, this used rubber. … Don’t you think I know that, Frank? Don’t you think I’m aware that there is a woman here? I can smell her, like a flower. I…

If The Railroad Workers Strike…

If the railroad workers strike they will need our help, and I do mean all of us. We will have to walk the picket line with them for the basic human right of sick leave. We will have to call and write our elected leaders to show our support for the railroad workers for the basic human right of sick leave. We will have to provide food for their families while they strike for the basic human right for sick leave. We will have to dig deep into our pockets and help them pay bills if they walk the picket lines for the basic human right for sick leave. We will have to hide the Union leaders from the police who will seek jail them while the rank and file walk the picket line for the basic human right for sick leave. We will have to suffer the blows of…
