I hate capitalism. Especially as manifested in America.

I hate that I have to sit at a desk doing mindless, pointless busywork just to survive (and make the rich people who own the company even more stupidly rich.)

I love knitting. I’m new to it, but I love it. I could knit all day. There are people who actually NEED clothing items, which I would gladly make, but I barely have time to make a few small pieces a month b/c I’m stuck at my meaningless desk job for 40 hours every week + 5 hours of commute time per week.

Not to mention that the capitalist system has created so much artificial scarcity that there are literally millions of people who would kill to have my pointless, useless, unfulfilling job b/c that’s the only way to get by in this dystopian hellscape. 

Sorry, just had to vent a bit. I know I’m lucky to be able to pay my bills & have health insurance, I just hate that I have to say that in the first place…

This is stupid. This is SO stupid!!

If it weren’t for capitalism I’d have more time to write! In fact if it weren’t for capitalism we’d have far more art! Just think how many masterpieces lay in the heads of those who have been crushed by the system. What if the cure for cancer is in the mind of someone who works 80 hours a week? Capitalism is counter to art and science, and it is counter to human fulfillment

This fucking post!! I have recently been reflecting on how actually I’m a pretty generous person and if I didn’t have to do paid work, I’d probably spend a lot of my time helping other people and some of it doing artistic stuff, since I like doing creative stuff but I can’t do a lot of it at once.

But what am I doing with my time? Working myself sore, sleeping, feeling bad about not having time or money to help other people and feeling so dissatisfied with my job that it’s literally decaying my brain. I’m so fucking sick of this shit and I want out!

If not for capitalism I’d actually be researching things I was interested in and making things that would help other people because DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET ARE OVERLOOKED ON A DAILY FUCKING BASIS GODDAMN I AM SO TIRED OF IT.

If it weren’t for capitalism, I would spend all day growing a garden full of delicious food and medicinal plants. I might even try to be a botanist. I just really love plants.
