The point of this graphic is that you should dedicate your labour to doing something that you love and also benefits your community.
My wife and I were just talking about this topic and we landed on the Jessie Eisenberg movie VIVARIUM. It’s ab allegory for being trapped in our dystopia where there are forces at work trying to oppress us with useless labour. The fact is, currently, the only choice we have is to discover work that is meaningful for us – personally. My job is a helper job. I pay taxes. I do my helper job knowing I’ve contributed. It lightens the pain of the dystopia while we wait for the top 10% to start paying their fair share again. The Eisenhower tax rates were real.
See VIVARIUM – it may not be a banned film but the corporations sure as fuck don’t want you to see it. Welcome to your world.
Yes – few of the many homcidal societies on the planet were able to make the technological or artistic contributions to the world that America has made.
All civilizations throughout all of history are built on blood and oppression. Sorry – that’s just history.
Listen – I’m American and aware that my country was built on Genocide. Sadly Spain committed genocide all over the Americas and every major civilization has done the same. Singling out a single country just divides good people who might instead work together for greater justice
Working towards justice means understanding that a nuanced conversation cannot be approached with reductionist name calling and would be better served by a sober examination of facts.
Someone should link to that definitive one hundred percent agreed upon scientific paper showing exactly how it was done that all archeologists agree on. That would be fun.
