Would you like to play the game knowing in advance that the game is losing and not fair?

So work is fucking scam. It's a slave system.

A slave is paid as much as is necessary to maintain his working capacity. So that a slave could live somewhere with a mortgage, buy food, medicine, pay for housing and communal services, have a smoke break and sleep… to work again tomorrow!

The cycle of slavery in nature.

Work to pay for my «maintenance» and be fit for further work.

Then they will be retired for recycling. You're not a profitable biorobot anymore, you're broken. They will make a special small pension so as not to keep an unprofitable slave.

BUT if you don't work, the state will fall apart. There will be no technological progress, no iPhones, no benefits of civilizations. Do you need it? Some Australopithecus lived happier than you, around a campfire in a cave. His brain wasn't fucked up by the problems of modern man, he didn't have to study so much shit at school, fill his brain with useless news, digest a lot of information, study computers, banking systems, a bunch of papers, know legal laws and other shit. He killed a mammoth and rested for a month until the meat ran out.

The ancient dude just lived like your cat lives now! Even if you don't feed the cat, he'll catch a mouse and lie there all day doing nothing! Fuck the state, fucking brains at the institute, technology, work… The man was happier, doing only what he needed to do, and not chasing after a new iPhone model or a new car.

And now you're a cog in the system. You are being used by slaveholders. Of course, everyone knows about it, but there's no fucking choice. You can't go into the woods, chop logs and make yourself a house. They'll put you in jail right away for stealing wood. Get into the system, work for some shit company, and get a mortgage.

You can't even build a ship and catch a normal fish. Everything is done only through the system. You can't plant potatoes wherever you want, the whole land belongs to the slave owners. Go buy, arrange a piece of land, then pay taxes.

You have been enslaved since birth!

See for yourself. You work honestly, 40 hours a week, but what do you have enough for? For food, communal apartment, rented house. Is the apartment your own? It's very difficult. A car? On credit for years, if approved. Start a family? And what to raise a child for and when to engage in parenting if you are constantly at work?

And then you really think — then why work so hard? After all, even if you give your best, you still won't have enough for a life worth working for.

Of course, there are those who do better — smart, educated, and have found themselves in successful niches. But even they feel the pressure! Mortgages last for decades, work until the night, stress, and competition is growing. And these are the successful ones! And what about the others? The system is slowly pushing everyone, it's just that some are stronger, others a little less.

I remember my parents telling me that previously it was possible to support a family more or less peacefully on an average salary. Now technology has developed, efficiency has increased, but it has not become easier for the common man. It's a paradox.

There are people who talk about lazy people. But maybe it's not just laziness? When automation develops, competition for jobs grows, and salaries do not keep up with prices — it is logical that people begin to doubt the meaning of super efforts.

And all this talk about «the market decides everything.»… The market may be efficient, but fairness is something else. A teacher teaches children for little money, a nurse saves lives, and someone earns many times more on speculation. Is it effective? Maybe. Is that fair? The issue is moot.

And the funny thing is that those who defend this system consider themselves to be realists, and those who are dissatisfied are whiners. But maybe it's worth listening to these «whiners»? Maybe they notice something important?

I don't know… maybe I don't understand something. But I intuitively feel that when honest work becomes a way of survival rather than a normal life, it's worth thinking about how to change this.

What to do? Maybe we should talk more about these problems and look for solutions. Support each other, not blame each other for laziness. Think about how to make the system fairer for everyone.
