Not a quote. I simply scroll through LinkedIn to remind myself to never become one of these spineless jellyfish that call themselves "men". These people debase themselves every chance they get in front of their employers.

Every job, every college credit hour is a task to accrue fiat in order to invest in crypto, pms and realestate so i can exit the corporate hamster wheel within the next five years.

If i dont make it before im 40 and i dont have any kids. Ill sacrifice myself in commiting some sort of political violence. Fuck it, this society is garbage if you dont have wealth. Utter garbage.

This! My grandfather did the same. (Poor irish/english) worked until he was 80 probably because it gave him a sense of purpose. As soon as he retired his health declined rapidly and he died from prostate cancer about 1 year later. Never even got to enjoy his last two years because grandma got diagnosed with altziheimers and his personal health declined so rapidly he was basicly bed ridden after retirement.

If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.

My Father worked hard and made a great living as an honest blue collar man all his life, but my Mother spent all his money and crushed his spirit. She had stage 3 cancer years ago and the family thought we could come together to heal our relationships and move on. She recovers and bankrupts us utterly, we lost the family home. I thought the devil was playing tricks on me; I had nightmares as a child of the family ending up broke and penniless.

I found myself wishing for cancer to come back to kill my mom. Crazy. That was my black pill moment. When I've made enough to retire I'm going to take care of my dad and just fuck off into nowhere. I just want to play my guitar alone. I don't trust or connect with anyone anymore.

He never fired people when they wanted him to but he would demote them. The people he tried to help hated him and the people above him hated him. He took it all on the chin. It would weigh heavy on his soul, he loved the people he worked with and knew they had families. He couldn't send them packing.

No quotes. I worked for a small chem manufacturer, turned around a product line, which helped them sell the business and sunset. Got laid off after with 20% of the company. I was unemployed for over a year, couldn't find work in my field, was overspecialized, overqualified, and undereducated in an oversaturated field. Could only find labtech positions for slightly above minimum wage, which I couldn't even get. Got addicted to benzos for a bit, had a mental breakdown after my 10th failed interview; it was a bad time. I lost my sense of identity, my sense of self worth, my ability to provide for myself.

Money became extremely important to me. Left the state, started over, got a foot in the door at a finance firm. I'm quite jaded now, and a bit angry with the world and the sales pitch that put me in the chem department. Funny thing was I thought I was being practical with my major since "America needs STEM majors." Fuck this system. I'm getting mine now and I don't give a fuck who gets shit on along the way. More than anything I want financial freedom. So today I'm a banker. Tomorrow I'll be free.

Dad didn't die. He just worked for a company from my birth till I was 20-ish, was the last of the old guard at Carpenter Co. he had worked every job but manager at, and new boss fired him over a run red light while he was trucking for the upteenth year. After that many years of loyalty, he was righteously mad. Took his 401k and other retirement out, became a rancher. "Retired" from that with his new gf and moved out to the four corners. He's coming to visit me and his newest granddaughter this friday. Just trades boomer stocks all day when he's not biking in the desert or other stuff he's always loved doing.
Meanwhile, I got my retirement gig as a rancher when I married into Texas oil money, and am going to grad school this fall since my knees are giving out on me (menisci never formed properly, apparently, on top of being a fat ass and playing football throughout middle/high school). Hopefully I'll have a son soon to carry on family name and help around the ranch.

Quite the contrary; it‘s never been as comfortable and easy being a wageslave as it is today.

The issue is that we think that even as an average worker, we should be able to lead a rockstar life, fuck models 24/7 and own 3 houses. Which has never been and will never be true.

Coronavirus showed those in authority have no idea what they're doing and are not looking out for you, something you experience as a young worker on a day to day basis with probably every single one of your bosses. You are not compensated fairly for your work and you cannot escape and live to tell the tale. You know there is no chance of you getting into a comfortable position in work and life anytime soon, not for many years (and that's if you're totally clueless about the impending economic crash).

There is absolutely zero reason to be optimistic about the future, and by extension the present conditions. Of course anyone sane is going to have trouble hiding that dissatisfaction---and why should they hide it. Maybe the world needs more rage.

Probably won't apply to you, but the small company I was working at was getting 7-digit software contracts from businesses as clients, which we usually finish in a few months with a team of like 10-20 people. And I was writing like 20 out of 200+ screens/reports/pages per project.

But I wasnt getting a tenth of what the clients paid our company, not even close. Like the company owner was keeping like 80% and splitting up the remaining 20% as wages, when he didn't even lift a finger.

So I wanted to make my own similar software company, since I had experience of the whole process. And hire new grads or something, and pocket a huge amount of the contact price myself.

Like, last week my sister called me, all scared because her husband was really sick, he was crying, thinking he got infected by coronachan, and was really afraid of passing it to his kids, so he began talking about killing himself so that my sister could get his insurance money and keep the family going after he died.
So we got the rest of the family together, talked with him, and got him to go to the hospital, seek treatment or help if he really did get coronachan in his blood.
He did all the tests and they came back negative, the real reason he was getting is because he was constantly working 12 to 16 hours shifts, seven days every week, my sister lost her job at the beginning of this pandemic, and being the man of the house, he was doing everything he could to feed his family, even if meant working himself in a early grave.

At that moment I was filled with respect for him, that's what a good father and husband should be like, and at the same time, there is a feeling of sadness watching a good man being forced to destroy himself just to feed his wife and kids, life should not be this way.

if I make it, I will try to lift everyone in my family, might take a few more years of waging myself, but I would never be able to enjoy my neetdom while knowing good people in my family are killing themselves in the rat race.

To add another thing. His last bit of advice was: "Don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm" I didn't understand that phrase until I got older when family started looking for help and handouts.

For a while I worked in a toxic team while going through a divorce, death of my grandma and my dad on the IC. To cope I started to eat to much junk (gain 15 kg), and drinked heavy during weekdays (because without I couldn't sleep).

I was literally losing everything, but then it hit me. I've only got myself to blame for the decline not my whore ex, not god, not my job. I've decided to take control back.

Switched to a comfy job, started exercising 4 times a week, quit the booze , quit social media and unironical quit /pol/ .

I'm feeling better then ever, only need my crypto to pamp so I can fully leave the rat race.

Godspeed anons

Didn't need anything to redpill me, wageslavery is so obviously shit that i wanted out of it before i even started. Having to sell yourself to someone else for most of your waking life every single week just so you can maintain yourself to work for them some more the next week is humiliating

Screw that. Learn how old engines works and start rebuilding cheap old cars. Then get some land and start an oldschool farm. The world as we know it might be going away.

That's pretty unevidenced though. Personality traits and capability is highly genetic. Life is literally about finding out and coming to terms with who you are. The creation is in forming an environment that complements that.
