Capitalism.

[MicahBell]

I realised, there is no way I can live with capitalism.

i can't go to school every day, and work every day, all so that i can work some more. I thought today about having to go to work tomorrow and I burst out into tears and couldn't stop.

Suicide was never certain, I usually thought it was how i'd go, but some days I still had hope. Then I realised today, theres no other way out.

If i dont kill myself then what, i'll just be working for decades and only once i've generated enough value I can retire?

I can't imagine anything other than suicide. I'm so burnt out from capitalism and im not even old enough to drink yet

I feel the exact same way... like why have I completely given up when the worst has yet to come? Whenever I think about possibly having a peaceful future it's interrupted by the thought of "actually, no, you're just going to work to death."

hmm I get this. I am a social work student and every day in class proves why I should ctb more... I can get my degree sure but the world still exists... profs be like "the world is hopeless right now but it's been this way for not a long time we can change it" but they mean that the industrial Revolution happened and human existence has been longer than that. so how can I believe we can defeat capitalism when you tell us we just have to educate our co-workers and violence is not an option...
