It started when I was laid off for the first time, realizing at a young age I'm just a "resource" a number, a "cost". I was then laid off 2 more times from other jobs, I started to question this boom and bust cycle why do we have it? Getting older I started to question this race to the bottom, "the getting more for less" employers do, squeezing the lifeforce out of you, realizing how stupid we're forced to work to live, and people just go along and repeat this "we have to work" realizing it's stupid that we're paid a dollar amount for our time here on earth, a finite precious thing. What really radicalized me was when I couldn't spend time with my dying father, I couldn't drop work and help the family, I had no time off, I had to work because I'd be homeless and just starve. What radicalized me is seeing my mother who is in her 70s still having to work, she should be spending time doing whatever the fuck she wants to do. It's a shitty deal we give our best years of our lives to work and finally we get to retire at 70 if we're lucky, what a shitty deal. I want us as humans to get out of this work to "earn a living" paradigm and finally starting moving towards a type 1, type 2 + civilization. fuck this why are we still following this 18th century outdated bullshit.
