I'd still hate going to work on monday under any other system since it's still work
What if we abolish work? Machines do the majority of labor, and the rest is 100% volunteers (not "work").
It has nothing to do with capitalism, and everything to do with having to do stuff you don't always want to do. Regardless of the type of society you live it, even if you were an offgrid self sufficient hermit, you'd probably still dislike doing plenty of stuff that needs doing to live and complain about that. As long as you live there is always a hamster wheel that turns, and getting off is terminal.
Yeah but if you're a hermit you can fuck off if you want to
I suspect drudgery is a symptom of modern societies and not a natural state. Imagine being part of a small tribe of nomadic people 500 years ago. When the hunters return to camp with an elk and it's time for you to help tan the hide or what not, are you really going to feel put out because it interrupted the game you were playing with beads and sticks? I doubt that.
Doing something you don’t like for yourself feels quite different from doing it for someone else, though.
Most people who do something they don’t like for a living does that thing purely because it is the thing that makes some shareholder more money. All (or most of) the meaning has been sucked out, and that definitely has something to do with capitalism.
Of course we’ll probably never get to the point where everyone loves every day of their job, but injecting some value (that isn’t purely monetary) back into work would do wonders, IMO.
That's the dang truth.
Cavill knows that Mimosa supported Amber Terd and then tried to deny it though.
You don’t hate mondays you hate capitalism
