Universal Basic Income or Class Warfare

Im not handwaving, i just think your approach to life is more stupid and harmful to your well being than mine. Im pretty sure you already conceded having more money is better than having less, maybe that was OH?

You talk me as if my goal in life is to find happiness in work when in reality i want to work as little as possible and find a balance.

But I think your approach is to find your niche in modern complacent society and not ask questions that don't bother you cause you're zero'd in on a specific path that you're alright with and have modeled your path around, but I'm saying that you're ignoring the entire rest of the ****ing minefield that the rest of the human race regularly steps in.

In much earlier discussions about something or other about your views on society and morality I remember you saying that you want to exhibit traits and behaviors that you believe will be beneficial to society moving forward on a long timeline (be the change you want to see essentially). You want to exhibit personal responsibility so that you can give just a little bit of that influence to society as a whole so that eventually maybe your contribution to society will have been a small thing to create change? Something like that?

Well I don't think bitching about the **** I bitch about will change the world tomorrow. But I also don't think closing your mind to work place tyranny, even the subtle kind that doesn't seem like such a big deal to most people on a day to day basis, will help anyone. But perhaps keeping alive human dignity even in small, seemingly bull****, pointless ways, will be just a little way to fight back even if it will take generations before it truly takes root. Be ****ing belligerent to maintain your autonomy.

And if in the end it is pointless, well then **** all y'all, I'll keep as much of my pitiful amount of dignity as I can as I slowly sink into degradation and if it means nothing well then at least I'll die with my middle finger aloft against this worthless race.

sorry not sorry

Because there is no alternative. Voting for Bernie Sanders or Lizzie Warren feels nice but status quo is king and they would never be allowed to challenge that. Ever. You are not a revolutionary in any way by voting for someone you are allowed to vote for by a capitalist oligarchy. The oligarchs are not so stupid as to allow a legitimate threat to be electable. And we are not currently in a situation where any kind of true revolution is realistic, so the very ****ing best you have is to simply live as a cog who maintains as much dignity as you can.

Your destiny as someone who dreams of revolution is to wait until a better time and die as someone who will be utterly forgotten by the people living in that time.

He gives me hope because the first step is acknowledging there’s a problem

He keeps his dignity by refusing to **** on others for his own gain. He doesn’t relish in the opportunity to wield power. The greatest purity is at the bottom.

Like your little comments about “your” store or “your” crew or that people who can hit up their folks for money suck because they won’t cover a shift. All that, he doesn’t do.

He’s a pure comrade anarchist socialist whatever in PRACTICE.

If you reject the hierarchy don’t boss others around. Ever.

It’s something about their lack of financial desperation was an inconvenience to you somehow.
