Part of anti-capitalism is the rejection of neoliberal ideology where people are voluntarily pursuing achievement and performance as expressions of personal freedom. Byung Chul Han wrote about these concepts in books like "The Burnout Society", "Capitalism and the Death Drive", etc

In our supposedly free society, the social pressure to "do well" creates the burnout. People work hard because of an illusion of scarcity rather than the boss exploiting them.

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.
