I just want freedom period. If that means being rich then I guess I’ll do that
what if it means taking other ppls freedom away from them in the process?
can you provide an example please...
'sploiting workers
theres companies making money off of prison labor, if u want a not very subtle example. in the US, prisons are also for-profit institutions, making it even more insidious.
then ur typical capitalist labor situation ofc. ur boss makes more off of their workers labor than their workers get paid. this "surplus value" is how bosses get richer than the ppl who work for them; all without having to do any actual work of their own.
ok, i hope your anwer to this system will not be communism!
what is ur answer to this system?
For sure not communism as I lived almost 10 years under Ceasescu regime and I know first hand how communism looks and feels and it is horrifing.
Today's communism supporters(which I find a lot on lemmy too) do not realize that Todays Technology + Communism is the formula of total Imprisonment.
My real solutions to fight this system until now are:
- stay in good mental and physical shape;
- train and be always ready;
- fight back by any possible means;
- i do not provide work for things that are against humanity and humans in general. If you work in a corporation you may be part of the problem by working for these hypocrites and woke promoters;
- build and use technology to protect my privacy and life defending as much as possible from the surveillance state (without "having anything to hide");
- closed all my bank account that require a "smartphone app" to reach my money;
- using CASH;
- interacting only with people who are awake and aware; ... ... ...
- appreciate people on lemmy that do the same!
Take care!
What if I can make money actually helping people or in my IRL case the environment?
i mean, thats great! but the moneys gotta come from somewhere, and in most cases someone else is being exploited.
most non-profits actually suffer from this issue where getting funding is the number one priority.
the organization has to bend its methods to what will look good on paper vs what would actually be best for their cause
u will work yourself to death and make everybody around you miserable
That's not freedom. Money is always a trap.
