Those in the Imperial Core will never understand that what they consider unbearable hardship and boredom is actually a life of luxury that the vast majority of people on Earth cannot even imagine.
The international division of labor is 1000x more important and impactful than the domestic one.
Yeah this is definitely capitalist alienation. There's almost no difference between this video and Nintendo's advert for Tears playing on exactly the same emotion.
This is exactly what communist should be seizing on in the imperial core. That there is more to life than.... This. That this is not fulfilling for human beings, that we need more than repetitive daily labour to lead happy lives.
What is missing in this video? The product of this man's labour. He is divorced from it. He has no pride or fulfilment from his daily routine, he is not connected with the output of his work.
As soon as you put that into the mixture it becomes impossible to see it as depressing, because the fruit of all that work becomes an accomplishment. The issue is that we're disconnected from it so it never feels like our accomplishment, it belongs to the capitalist owner, the Elon Musks of the world. Even the person designing rockets feels this way when Musk takes that accomplishment for himself.
It probably looks like the Nintendo advert because that's the vibe the video is deliberately going for, with the music, framing, etc. For instance, in the first seconds of the video you can see a ring on his finger, but you never see his partner, nor do they ever get a mention. I don't think a 60 second TikTok is an accurate representation of the guy's life.
LMAO why is this dude displayed as so incompetent, he puts a sail on a single log that's clearly starting to turn even before he gets on
In a society which has abolished all adventure, the only remaining adventure is to abolish that society
