Ahhh yeah. I'm not allowed to do any of that stuff. I'm only allowed to work. Why can't I do what's natural instead?

The comment is saying work is natural...

[–] Mango@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not when it's for our owners.

Good thing you don’t have an owner then isn’t it?

Hundreds of thousands of our ancestors died to give us that, and that’s only if you count the most recent war fought against the ownership of people. There has been a lot of blood spilled so that you can live without an owner today.

But my boss is mean to me when I spend an hour texting my buddies! It's slavery!

If you don't like having a boss, you can try your luck on your own. Self-employment is totally a thing today, it just takes a lot more effort than showing up for a paycheck.

It was sarcasm ;)

You go on and think that. You'll be happier.

You can do other stuff, it’s just highly beneficial to have food/water/shelter before you do other stuff
