no, definitely not

2017-04-25 14:30:40 UTC  

so that's a start

2017-04-25 14:30:50 UTC  

if it's not normal, was it normal in the past?

2017-04-25 14:30:53 UTC  

it is the model of civilization that leaves people feeling hopeless and succumbing to their chains

2017-04-25 14:30:55 UTC  

as in, were they in a normal state?

2017-04-25 14:31:05 UTC  

when was the last time people felt this way

2017-04-25 14:31:07 UTC  

in any civilization

2017-04-25 14:31:15 UTC  

surely we should have some record of it

2017-04-25 14:31:26 UTC  

in any financially and politically oppressive government it is this way

2017-04-25 14:31:27 UTC  

even if its in the form of myth

2017-04-25 14:31:37 UTC  

that's a hypothesis, maybe I accept it but

2017-04-25 14:31:44 UTC  

what's the basis?

2017-04-25 14:32:04 UTC  

my point of view is, alienation is exceptional

2017-04-25 14:32:19 UTC  

even in the throes of decay, alienation was never a feature of the human experience

2017-04-25 14:32:28 UTC  

do you accept that?

2017-04-25 14:32:31 UTC  

people working 9-5 jobs know deep down what they do is stupid, but they go through a series of mental gymnastics to rationalize it internally so that they dont have to face reality

2017-04-25 14:32:41 UTC  

and they have plenty of distractions to help them with this

2017-04-25 14:33:09 UTC  

sex and the city, green day, the walking dead, etc.

2017-04-25 14:33:17 UTC  

maybe that's half true, is the life of a family man, a salary man really so unhealthy and pointless?

2017-04-25 14:33:18 UTC  

and yes i do

2017-04-25 14:33:25 UTC  

yes it is

2017-04-25 14:33:32 UTC  

as the saying goes: jobs are jail

2017-04-25 14:33:33 UTC  

I think that's pretty silly, on its face

2017-04-25 14:33:44 UTC  

jobs can be jail and that can still be wrong

2017-04-25 14:33:53 UTC  

jobs are jail, but work is not

2017-04-25 14:33:58 UTC  

obligations are jail

2017-04-25 14:34:29 UTC  

there's everything right about being a family man obviously, but when your life is controlled by an employer and your very livelihood is in thrall to it, then there exists a control mechanism

2017-04-25 14:34:30 UTC  

there is freedom in the yoke, you serve your family and free yourself

2017-04-25 14:34:41 UTC  

human beings, as well as all creatures, desire freedom naturally

2017-04-25 14:34:41 UTC  

whereas if you attempt a different kind of "freedom", an absolute one

2017-04-25 14:34:46 UTC  

escape your obligations

2017-04-25 14:34:54 UTC  

you instead fall under a different yoke, of your ego etc.

2017-04-25 14:35:13 UTC  

obligations =/= working a dead end job thinking you're doing good for the wold

2017-04-25 14:35:16 UTC  

they desire freedom, accepted, but what is freedom

2017-04-25 14:35:29 UTC  

I think it's pretty obvious that most people don't work thinking about the big picture

2017-04-25 14:35:32 UTC  

THE POINT IS THAT WE CAN MAKE LIFE MORE SIGNIFICANT FOR THE SALARY MAN

2017-04-25 14:35:37 UTC  

BY MAKING JOBS BETTER

2017-04-25 14:35:40 UTC  

BY REMOVING UNNECESSARY LABOR

2017-04-25 14:35:44 UTC  

sure, sure

2017-04-25 14:35:49 UTC  

INCLUDING THAT MANDATED TO PAY FOR THE TAX BASE THAT FUNDS LEFTIST PROGRAMS

2017-04-25 14:35:54 UTC  

REMOVE LEFTISM, LIFE GETS BETTER
