That's the literal definition of being a wage slave. You're not in the rat race but you're still a filthy rat.

Ending capitalism

Wage slavery is still the rat race. It’s just losing more is all

>Ending capitalism
Yeah, was thinking about something more in the locus of control of a single individual. Ending capitalism is of course a solution, but not a very realistic one for a single person.

Depends on your definition. I understood rat race as wage slavery + maintaing a certain typical middle-class lifestyle, ie. children, mortgage, car, climbing the corporate ladder etc. Wage-slavery without those liabilities is still wage slavery but less toxic.

lower your cost of living, embrace alternative lifestyle and support intentional communities. you can work 20 hours a week and live comfortably if you do it right

>>16037829
Name some jobs that would allow this.

>>16037802
Ah. Well.
Homelessness, lottery win, death, prison.
I don’t like any of those, so as an individual I am planning on trying to get more people on board. Good luck man.

gas station worker, retail etc. just find a place with a low cost of living and get cheap housing possibly with a like-minded roommate. then you can read all the books you want and work on your political treatise. otherwise join a van tribe and live your life on the road

life only feels like a rat race if youre unhappy
if its too late for you to fix things, suicide is the only answer

>>16037829
This, I recently realized it and just going to try and work as a librarian or in a museum since it would be close to what I love but ill have enough free time to not want to off myself

>>16037559
Judging by the picture, becoming a train driver. He's the only rat that looks different.

Literally any hourly job but most of them require 35-40 hours a week to qualify for healthcare so that’s where the snag is
