What do I even have left to live for?
What do I even have left to live for?
I've been unemployed for almost 6 months now. I wasn't even paid enough while I was working, but now, I've depleted all my savings, my credit card balance is going up, I'm not even sure how much longer I can keep collecting unemployment, I still have absolutely zero job prospects, I'm having a hard time affording anything that gives me genuine enjoyment.
Beyond money, I don't have a good social life. I really only have acquaintances who would all rather be with other people. Me thinking about finding love feels like me thinking about being a billionaire, basically just a fantasy so far from the conditions of my life, it's absurd.
If I finally get a job, what then? I still have to scrounge to financially recover? I'm still alone? What do I even have to live for?

Vengeance. When capitalism makes life intolerable, Living is a Revolutionary Act.
Don't let the bastards get away with it. Do what you can so others don't suffer as you have.
I’m sorry, but I hate when people say this shit.
Maybe it works for you idkWhen capitalism makes life intolerable, Living is a Revolutionary Act.
I don't agree. being totally alienated and suffering for more decades doesn't change anything or contribute to a revolution. existing in our misery is just misery, it doesn't go anywhere and our ends aren't even served by adventurism.
I'm not talking about adventurism, I'm talking about survival in place.
Even if you stay still, in a room, posting, the system still needs to use a small amount of resources to oppress you.
Those resources are not being used on others. A thousand people who simply refuse to die can screen the acts of a dozen professional revolutionaries, and strain the system even more.
I get that its miserable, and may never end, and I do everything I can to make people's lives better, but ultimately its not about us, it's about "The Cause". And we have a duty to humanity to do what we can, even if that's just exist.

lol wut? i'm pretty sure the only resources I'm draining are the food I eat and the electricity I use. the system would be more inconvenienced if my family put me on the street
