Not if you want the approval of your family and peers. The question is, what's that worth to you? TO me it's worth a lot, so I play along, as disheartening as it is. I think what I miss the most about not being a drone is the ability to just stand the hell up and go walk off somewhere if it looks nice outside. I used to walk for miles and miles, up hills, down roads with no sidewalks, through the underbrush - just wherever. It brought me a kind of peace I can't quite find nowadays.

But DESU I'd rather keep my wife, my health insurance, and my good relationship with my parents. Hard bargain but it's worth the trade, at least to me.

Pretty much. This is a teenager's philosophy.

When you get older, and actually have to assume responsibility for yourself (or even others), you realize it's really fucking hard to scrape together a living. If you want to have a "good" life, meaning you are secure and can afford leisure, you have to fucking work.

And what the fuck happened to finding value in work? Some of the best moments I've experienced in life happened on the clock. How about taking pride in your craft?

If you think what you do for a living is beneath you, then upgrade. That's not easy, it's fucking difficult. Things of value, like a great profession, don't come easy. They require effort on your part.

I got it.
Really this hits people at some point (whether they like it, or not). Work shouldn't be viewed as this drudgery you have to endure. You should take pride in what you do.

And maybe this is a property of masculinity, namely competition, but you should want to show that you're more able than any other motherfucker.

And the people who think what they do for a living is beneath them should accept this challenge: Upgrade. View it as a challenge. People like to disavow the aspect of skill, or simple dedication, that is involved in earning a privileged position, or a great career.

normie leave.

Some people can withstand sitting in an office +8 hours a day with a hour or two commute depending on the day to get a weekend off (most times) and every year get a special time for two weeks to spend in some resort somewhere in Mexico where locals pamper you for $2/hr. If you're content on the new fancy car you bought, or the hot tub, or indulging in whatever trend is happening in the pop culture world, then congratulations on justifying your existence with the fruits of your labor, the CEO's concessions. That's your life. Some people don't want that. Some people can't "enjoy" that. The kind you read about in your magazines and watch on TV, or the kind that sits rotting in their parents basement shitposting on a Guatemalan softcore lesbian porn forum. It has nothing to do with being an edgy teenager (that in itself is a fallacy), it's just how people value their life, and how much they value it.

>>35442377
so don't buy the fancy car or hot tub, and take modest vacations until you save up enough money to take a year or two off and see the world

In your natural situation you would spend 90%+ simply to aquier food, like animals do...

If you don't want "luxuries," then live a life without luxuries. Your choice. Guess what? Even the most rudimentary luxury, leisure time, is fucking hard to obtain for the vast majority of people.

>The kind you read about in your magazines and watch on TV, or the kind that sits rotting in their parents basement shitposting on a Guatemalan softcore lesbian porn forum.

>rotting in their parents basement
>their parents
Ah, here we hit the root, no?
You're trying to justify living as a burden on other people because you self-proclaim to not find value in labor. You're "above" working. Earning a living is beneath you. You're somehow above those employed schmucks. Okay.

And we can substitute "their parents" for "the government." The same rule applies.

Once you get older and have to assume responsibility for yourself you will understand. If you never mature to that point, you will live a life (that perhaps, while being favorable in your mindset) is in it's entirety, enabled by others, and therefore not something you can claim to be your own, nor something you can argue in favor of, precisely because you have absolutely nothing at stake.

>>35440751
>Implying there is a point to life

Either find something to live for or die trying faggot. Not so hard. To die trying means you were just a pawn of the people who want you to consume. Try rising above, becoming the holder of the means of production. And when you finally achieve that, see where it goes.

What a load of bullshit. I'm 18 first year at uni and I've got 7000 spare after paying bills and housing per year simply from student bux. Le hard adult life and bills is the biggest meme around, people just buy tonnes of unnecessary shut then complain about being poor

>>35440751
What makes me happiest is traveling with my bf. Being far away from everyone I know and always moving and busy. I've reprogrammed myself to not get off on spending money and buying unnecessary bullshit. Instead, I spend most of my free time bettering myself, like learning Spanish, French, German, and Italian. Currently waiting for dinner to finish cooking itself so I can get back to maths. Getting a CS degree to intimidate low quality men I don't want in my life.

>>35443966
In theory. In practice, growth has also been lower than it was under the 1950-1971 system of fordism + financial regulation.

But it's been very good for the very richest.

There's a hell of a lot more to life. This kind of thing is partially why I became a vegan, began dabbling in mindfulness and bodily health, volunteering and trying to give back to this world more than I take.

Of course people like OP will probably never take even the first step, because the truth is that he's 'comfortable' in this deluge of materialism, and that's exactly the way the system likes it. Keep on consuming little ant, never better yourself, never change, just stay the way you are and keep feeding the system.

I'll have to read all of that .pdf, then. I read a bit of the intro but I don't have enough time.
I have to go off to my minimum wage job soon.

I like how it mentioned how for their new system to work, they would have to privatise pretty much everything. Leaving the state to just provide security for corporate property. The state's just supposed to protect and enforce private property laws and the markets.
Maybe that would be fine if big businesses paid their fucking taxes. They want everything out while putting as little as possible in.
