You don't have to have a "job", but then your "job" will be daily survival instead of paying for luxuries.

You still can. It will just suck and inconvenience after awhile.

The image accurately depicts what would happen to 98% of all people: lying dead by the river, starved or killed or died by disease.

I tried to explain to my Christian friend that (if) god created the world for us to live in. They didn't create the 5 days, 9-5 work week.

Having to ask your boss to get a day off should go against every human spirit. But no. Some people will bow down to the grind (just to complain every week about the 9-5)

I'm happy to work, in fact I'd probably see myself out if I couldn't keep myself occupied.

What I want is for the effort and care I put into my work to be reflected back on to me and my life, I have watched businesses make millions of dollars off my work alone and I have been paid minimum wage for that work.

Bit fucken' unfair ain't it mate?

Man, you shoulda been here. The ground was full of stuff to eat, the air was still of stuff to eat, you could drink all the water. Sometimes we wouldn't eat much for a few weeks, but we'd dance and take drugs and play games and have crazy sex to get through it. And ofc, we always had beef jerky.

Oh, and we did this all day with our best friends, who we never had to leave. It was pretty sweet.

But hey, now there are big pretty churches and supermarkets full of only half-poisoned food and billionaires and AC. Though, the air hurts, the sun hurts, the water hurts, and everything is mostly dead. So, that's a trade-off. How's your childhood best friend doing?

Fuck "sometimes", I wish that all the time.

Only sometimes eh? Pump those numbers up rookie

This world has a massive lack of frolicking. Our numbers are way down on that front and it shows.

itt: capitalist bootlickers

You can, you just have to step outside the bounds of what the system says you should do, which is not a statement about the legality of one's path but rather one's ability to not be a lemming. Figure out how to break free. I figured out how to generate massive amounts of attention. The FBI said no, I gotta have education first. But y'know, what I'm saying is, if you know how to generate 100k views on a profile per day, or juggle, or write 2k-7k words a day without AI or drugs, well, those are examples of things that can open doors you don't see because you're looking at the world the way you've been programmed. And if you figure out how to do a buncha stuff like that together for a good purpose, you get used in bigger picture shit, because our culture is engineered.

You don't have to work. But you also won't have food, shelter, and Lemmy.

Sometimes??

We're all like minded here but the reality is that some people want work as distraction from their personal lives.

We could have it, if we grouped up and fought for it. Free humanity from the burden of unwanted labours.

You absolutely can. Ypu just wont like the consequenses.
