    by an alarm clock,

    Sounds like a personal choice. Im up before 630 every day without an alarm clock. Try going to bed earlier?

    leap out of bed,

    Or just, get out of bed. Like every person on the planet.

    dress,

    Would you rather be nude?

    force-feed,

    You mean eat? Somebody forcing you? Youre bitching about breakfast?

    shit, piss, brush teeth and hair,

    If pooping/peeing are upsetting to you, you have bigger issues.

    and fight traffic to get to a place where

    Why fight the traffic? You are the traffic. Fighting it is a personal choice.

    essentially you made lots of money for somebody else

    Your company is successful, is that a problem? You’re getting paid too, right?

    and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?

    Who’s asking/telling you how to feel about it?

    Dude needs therapy

      Y’all are missing the forrest for the trees

      God forbid someone add a bit of literary sugar to their argument, else they be picked apart by pedants.

      Your company is successful, is that a problem? You’re getting paid too, right?

      Not getting paid commensurate to your contribution to the success of the company

      Who’s asking/telling you how to feel about it?

      The news, society at large, people like you online posting replies like this very one

      Dude needs therapy

      Too bad it’s unaffordable. Maybe you need to look at the state of society

        Not getting paid commensurate to your contribution to the success of the company

        He doesn’t mention how much he is being paid. His complaint is that someone else is making lots of money.

        The news, society at large, people like you online posting replies like this very one

        I didn’t say he should be grateful, or how he should feel. I read the news, live in society, can’t recall ever hearing that I should be grateful for my job. You?

        Too bad it’s unaffordable. Maybe you need to look at the state of society

        You think that’s the problem here? He couldn’t afford some help for whatever is going on with him? Or (since you charged me with being part of the problem), could his problems be exacerbated by folks like you, commiserating, raging against the machine of such horrors as waking up, eating breakfast, having a job.

          You’re reply is disingenuous in the extreme, because nobody is this subtext illeteriate.

          His complaint is that someone else is making lots of money.

          He said he is making lots of money for someone else. He is making the money, therefore it is his money, not the money if the other person. It’s like the “taxation is theft” people are unable to apply the same logic on the owners of the boots they lick.

          I didn’t say he should be grateful

          You absolutely said he should be grateful for his job, you just didn’t use those words. You mocked him for complaining about his job. Those two things are a distinction without meaning difference.
          This messaging is all over the media. If you’re trying to say it isn’t then you’re either lying or you’re tragically media illeteriate.

          You think that’s the problem here

          You’re the one complaining about his mental health.
          But no you’re right, it’s people like me online in 2025 who affected the mental health of the author of the [checks notes] 1975 book, causing him to use [gasp in horror] a literary flourish. Great job there, detective, you cracked the case!
          Thank god you didn’t embarrass yourself at all!

            He said he is making lots of money for someone else. He is making the money, therefore it is his money, not the money if the other person. It’s like the “taxation is theft” people are unable to apply the same logic on the owners of the boots they lick.

            I don’t understand. You don’t believe in hiring, paying wages? Like if you hire me to help you build a website, i should keep the profits of what you sell? Or, more directly, if you later sell the website, that money is mine?

            I was questioning all his complaints, including having to shit and piss, and said that indicates bigger problems and needs therapy. You hear mocking and “you should be grateful”? Disingenuous in the extreme, nobody is this subtext delusional!

            The message is all over the media that I should be grateful, im sorry I literally can’t think of a time I came across that. I hear people suggesting gratitude practice as a way of feeling joy, or maybe would expect “you should feel grateful” at church or some religious context, but, I dunno, maybe im very selective about the media i consume?

    “I am outraged by the society not supporting my lifestyle of doing nothing but scrolling TikTok all day.”

    Truly, Nazism in its purest form. We must rebel against such oppression.

      Nazism is when you… surf TikTok?

      This is why Democrats lost the last election. Liberals are absolutely brain poisoned.

        Liberals are the worst people to ever walk this earth. Not only they have complete contempt for tradition but also they cannot see anything outside their own egos

        I even prefer god damn marxists Leninists to the liberals because even though they are grossly incompetent and wrong at least are brave enough to acknowledge the reality. Liberals are just huge pussies

        And have you seen how smug they are? God, what a bunch of elitist fetishists.

            No of course you don’t. You don’t even have it in you to create something as simple as a meme. Just mindless scrolling to extend the loop of learned helplessness… Truly sad

                I don’t make mistakes, I’m not like the rest of you, I’m stronger, I’m smarter, I’m better, I AM BETTER. I’m not some weak kneed fucking crybaby that goes around fucking apolgizing all the time and why the fuck would you want me to be? All my life people have tried to control me, rich people, powerful people, tried to muzzle me, cancel me, keep me impotent and obedient like I’m a fucking puppet. And you know what it worked, Because I allowed it to work and guess what, If they can control me they can control you, they already do you just realize it. I am done, I am done apolgizing, I am done being persecuted for my strength, You should be thanking christ that I am who I am, because you need me, you need me to save you, You Do, I am the only one who possibly can. You’re not the real heroes, I am the real hero, I am the real hero

                I know. I have this great green property just outside the city, the second the weather is above 20 degrees I am going there with books and all the stuffs ^^ and will be spending there days if not weeks :)

                Maybe even naked wait but was this this thread or I got it fucked up? I had some other discussion going about bare tits with some lunatic

                In any case I will have to soon chose which property I want to move to this summer and both have their pros and cons. One is like 500 square meters house but shitty garden and the second is like 70 square meters but the garden is marvelous and I think the second one is just sweet

                As you can see you have measly qualifications in any of these categories so you can promptly get out of my sight

                Unless you can prove that I am mistaken about your qualities

            Anyone who uses TikTok should be sent to a reeducation camp and I am not even kidding

            Have you ever browsed this shithole? Some happy yuppie go fricking dancing clips so embarrassing that you want to pluck your eyebrows off?

            It is a zoomer central and everything that is wrong with the modern ‘humans’

            Do you remember these HR girls fucking dancing clip Jesus even for this the TikTok should burn. I want to live in a timeline where shit like this is instantly penalized

            And also in a place that isn’t festered with poverty and hunger like North Korea which was my destination of choice before I learned about the cons. Cons outweigh pros I think in this case

    The answer is maturity. Structure does not hurt if it is chosen voluntarily. It feels good to do things exactly as intended.

    Waking up at 6:30 doesn’t hurt if sleep started early and without being drunk.

    The big tragedy is that society does everything to keep as many people as possible in a state of disarray. People to whom life is as described above don’t have the will to leave bad employment situations behind.

    because you also make money for yourself

    which allows you to buy things

    and not live off the state

    you are also (given the motivation) also capable of working your way up the chain and making more money for yourself which allows you to put it towards not working at all and still not living off the state

    “Spend less than you earn—invest the surplus—avoid debt. Do simply this and you’ll wind up rich.”[7]
