There’s so many worldly factors at play in life, and almost all of them are out of my control. General context abt me, I’ve recently turned 20, just moved from my home state about a year ago, I have ADHD, MDD and Autism. It’s very hard to control my illnesses as I don’t have enough money for medication. I’m still on my parents insurance so that’s not the issue, I literally can’t afford to spend $30-$50 a month on meds. I work in manual labor at a family dealership, and of course there are very few pro worker regulations in the law so I spend 8 hours a day in a warehouse that gets up to 120° with no ventilation, no electrical safety, rust everywhere(cuz they refuse to fix anything like the holes in the ceiling) all for $10 an hour. I have no right to be sick, no right to take time off, I don’t even get my full paycheck. I went to college right out of school, but unfortunately that was during the pandemic. I went to a technician school which had become entirely online, and I had to drop it because I’m a hands on learner. I can’t fix cars online, I have to touch them. I tried to stick it out as long as possible but within 3 months I had burned through all my money, I couldn’t get a job because jobs were still scarce, and I managed to become an alcoholic so I dropped out to work on myself. Now here I am 2 years later and I have no hope. At the end of the day I have no control over my own life, I am a cog in the giant machine that is the corporate government. I wake up every day in a home which is taxed, get in my car which is taxed, to drive on the road which is taxed so I can get to my job which is taxed, and then sometimes I get to buy food/water which is also taxed. We are struggling in the greatest depression the world has ever seen so lazy people can stay lazy. Of course we the people have noticed but we aren’t gonna do shit about it. Every time we lash out they just take another right away, remember Roe v Wade? We’ve come to a level of comfort and complacency which we may never recover from. You would think modern day slavery might inspire people, but it doesn’t. I’m not trying to say this for cool points or anything, but why haven’t we taken arms yet?! They are literally draining the dollars value, privatizing homes, taking children from parents, sending people and money to fight in pointless wars, why haven’t we done anything about any of that. I get that MLK Jr was a fan of the peaceful protest, but it wasn’t until the 6-7 days of riots following his assassination that black people got their rights. Playing the game by the rules has gotten us nowhere, so why haven’t we just thrown the board off the table? Even just simply not paying taxes or not going to work for a week would bring everything crumbling down. We would rather make things more acceptable than right and that’s fucked up. Like remember when drugs were a problem? Why aren’t they a problem anymore? I’m not talking about weed, I’m talkin bout how they’re handing out free crackpipes with our taxpayer dollars. When did bad habits become good? I remember when being fat was a medical concern, now I get in trouble for saying too many cheeseburgers is gonna kill tubbo? Fuck you bitch, his skeleton is gonna collapse under the sheer gelatinous mass. We have tricked ourselves into thinking our problems are the cures, which plays right into the governments hands because they can only serve to benefit from something like mass illness, a drug epidemic or false information that being a fat fuck is a good thing. And another thing, I may be out of school now but I still hate the education system with a passion. I always thought it felt like it was designed against you, and I found out I was right. The modern education system was put into place and funded by J.D. Rockefeller. He designed it in a specific way so that people would be just smart enough to work but not smart enough to fight back. We are born into the world as cattle being delegated to menial tasks in the hope that you may get a solid 10-15 years after your 45 year shift. From the minute we take our first breath everything we do is documented by a big brother we can never escape. We dedicate our lives to trying to be happy while people who didn’t earn their money get richer off our every sadness and illness. The people aren’t willing to fight back so we just sit here. Waiting for our rich overlords to bareback us for funsies. And it’s not like I can do anything, I have no money to do anything. I’m trying to pay off my current debt before I go back to college, which considering I can’t afford medication has been a lengthy process. Even if I had money I can’t do anything with it other than fall in line. Starting a small business is very systematically frowned upon, of all the levels of business there are you know who gets taxed the most? Small businesses. Small businesses are proportionally more taxed than every other group, the system was designed to put us in a cage. If god is real he either hates us or left a long time ago.
