minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink18•1 year agoDo you really win if capitalism dictates when you should feel / cry?
minus-square@[email protected]Blinkfedilink19•1 year agoBut they don’t dictate it. They win if you cry only when it doesn’t affect them
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•1 year agoThey do. The capitalistic grind makes you think it’s more worthwhile to cry while making money, rather than cry when you needed to.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-1•1 year agoBut they get you to cry on their terms. How much is agency worth as a human being - more or less than the hourly wage?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•1 year agoOn their terms? The capitalists don’t want you to cry while you’re supposed to be working. Crying on their terms would be crying outside of work.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink0•1 year agoYet capitalism is ingrained enough for you to think that’s the best option, instead of what you need / want it’s whatever that makes you the most money. So it’s a win for capitalism in the sense that you are the capitalist first, and human second.
