I'm 34 and jobless. I am deeply resentful towards the so called 'work ethic'. Here's why...

Toiling in the field all day....BULLSHIT

Here's why I feel so deeply resentful towards the system, that I am as deeply reluctant to serve it:

First off, it is so stressful and monotonous competing with hundreds / thousands of other wannabe slaves, that you are forced to constantly upgrade skills and sell yourself more (beg harder). It is degrading to beg to be someone else' slave.

Second, if you manage to get an interview, you are heavily interrogated.

Third, if you make it through the interrogation procedure they now own you and they can talk to you like shit and force you to slave away as hard as they like. Not so? Disobey your boss or argue back, you will find yourself penniless and homeless in no time.

Fourth, you are forced to work with people who may be absolute assholes and there's no escape.

Fifth, you take the stress of a job home with you and your mind is swamped with work schedules. so you cannot truly relax - ever.

Sixth, all of your freedoms are removed from the moment you leave school to the moment you retire. You are forced to work 8 hours per day - Monday to Friday - until your youth has gone forever. In fact, your freedoms are removed as soon as you start school.

Seventh, you are deceived into thinking that you are entitled to two days of freedom, but you are so stressed from the previous 5 days of slavery you just want to sleep in on Saturday. Then you spend Saturday night getting drunk to blot out your miserable existence. Sunday is spent sleeping in and feeling like shit from a hangover.

Eighth, constant toiling away and being handed heavy schedules age you prematurely, not to mention stressing the immune system.

Ninth, you cannot live a self sufficient lifestyle legally independent of the system because if you build a log cabin anywhere, so you can fish / hunt or grow crops for food, the system's henchmen will destroy your home and imprison you.

Tenth, you are a tax generating automaton who exists to swell the moneyboxes of the elite.

There you have it -- the big pink elephant is not staring you in the face from the far corner of the room, it is sitting on you and crushing you with it's enormous weight, yet the world is in collective denial over this very obvious fact. Why? Because slavery is all they understand.

That's why I hate the system and refuse to serve it.

i have done, it is very difficult to secure enough work to make ends meet. it's all about the money. i want to be free of money, build my own log cabin and fish for and grow my own food.

OP, grow some balls and stop fucking moaning. I bet you're in your late teens or early twenties, have recently finished your education and got your first dose of real life. Well welcome to the club, friend.

I've had some shitty jobs in my time, but guess what: IT WAS 100% MY OWN FAULT I HAD A SHITTY JOB. You gotta put some effort in to get something back out of this life, cos unless you got rich parents or win the lottery nobody is gonna give you JACK SHIT. You need to strive, you need to grit your teeth and keep going until you get what you want.

Working use to be so much easier back in the seventies and before. People were so much more non-judgemental and there was plenty of work to go around. Lemme tell ya kids, everything they teach and talk about today is total BS. Things were alot better before the big brother government stepped in our faces.

I started working in the 1980s

I have never had a nice 'boss' to work for all total arrogant as****s

filled with huge egos

I often wonder how my life would have been different if I was born just 20 years before...

Yes, I'm going to build a secret underground bunker in a beautiful national park, so they'll never find it. I've learned lots of bushcraft / fishing skills also.

I'll be waking up to beautiful mountain / lake views and never worry about rent / mortgages or being homeless again.

Move to the northwest territories or alaska and do that.

You will find, like my friends who have tried this (one in alaska, another was Amish and didn't got the the store for food for 3 years, trying to grow all their food on their own).

The alaska guy gave up. Too hard, too expensive, too lonely.

The amish family gave up not shopping for food. To this day, he says half-joking, he drops to his knees and thanks the Lord Almighty for large supermarket chain stores.

If you live in the US, very little effort, relative to the reward, is expended to get food compared to any time in the history of the world.

Sorry, but like the bible says, if you don't work you die.

Reading OP's whining has caused the average UK male's sperm count to drop by 17%.

Yeah, things really did start to go downhill in the 80's. The Japanese were pouring in and American companies tried to immitate their business successes (little did they know Japan's economy was getting ready to head south).

The effects of big government over the previous decade or two was taking it's toll. Businesses were merging. What they use to call hostile take overs is an every day occurance these days. Company's buy up smaller companies and the CEO's rip off the profits. It has become all about CEO's getting all they can before it all goes down (it's all going down anyway because you can't really make it with the government hanging overhead).

Then you had a pretty big materialistic generation coming on. We had a lot of freedoms in the sixties and seventies because we could 'afford' them. Lots and lots of poverty created due to welfare. Three generations worth at least. It really is a culture of 'gimme gimme' and 'take take' and 'oh, we don't need you!'
