ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS

  • i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.
  • there is no such thing as a “real Job”. all forms of work are real and vlid.
  • there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.
  • doing nothing ls good for my soul.
  • i am not deflined by what I produce.
  • my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.
  • i də not need to monetize my hobbles, It is enough to spend time doing something i love.
  • | will not let society decide what success looks like. I can define what successful life looks like for me.

    Oh sure, you are totally right about that. I didn’t mean for you to feel attacked or anything. I was trying to discuss if the meme actually did play into some lefty norms of its own. Since you already took up this position I just tried arguing from the opposite position. There are definitely a lot of norms in lefty culture as well, what you describe as “absolute” I guess. And imo it is crucial to keep reflecting upon this and be vary of those norms.
