You are told you are free.
But your #freedom ends where rent begins.
Where debt begins.
Where #healthcare begins.
Where #survival begins.
This is not freedom.
This is The Hunger Games, except the Capitol convinced the districts to blame each other for the rules.
The poor fight the poor.
The middle class defends a system that is slowly deleting it.
The rich watch it all like a live stream, asking only one question:
“How do we monetize this?”
You are praised for exhaustion. #Burnout is called ambition.
Rest is called weakness.
A system that needs you tired cannot afford you awake.
They say: Be grateful you have a #job.
As if survival were a gift.
As if obedience were a virtue.
This is the #Matrix, but instead of machines farming bodies, corporations farm attention, energy, and years of your life — and call it “career growth.”
First, it poisons the water.
Then it sells bottled #hope.
First, it destroys #community.
Then it sells “networking.”
First, it creates loneliness.
Then it sells algorithms pretending to be love.
It tells you:
If you are unhappy, it is your fault.
If you are poor, you didn’t optimize hard enough.
If you fail, you didn’t brand yourself properly.
This is not a system of opportunity.
It is a system of blame #management.
No billionaire earned their wealth alone.
They inherited leverage.
They bought laws.
They rented governments.
Every fortune is built on invisible backs.
Every luxury stands on unpaid overtime somewhere else on the planet.
This is Titanic economics:
First class debates wine pairings.
Third class floods.
And the band plays louder so no one hears the structure cracking.
They don’t fear protests.
They fear understanding.
A lot of my purpose with this account has been about letting go of my past pains, embracing change and sharing some example for moving forward as I personally keep noticing healing & connection with nature. Exploring, what can we learn from that? Feeling an end of this era, a new chapter to create. Im changing my lifestyle to some degree, a place Ive come to know. This feels strange to admit but this little box on wheels has been more of my home than anywhere else Ive lived these past five years. Ive worked many seasonal & remote jobs to create time for a nomadic lifestyle. I took a minimalist approach; recognizing & experimentally embracing you can do more with less. Slowly discovering many cross over philosophies with technology enthusiasts who love to embrace terms like FOSS, Libre, FLO and others alike. Pondering if many in technology fields seem to share similar views & values with ski bums, dirtbags and nomads? Ive met so many incredible people along the way and experiencing how healing it is when we genuinely connect.
The change for me now is of great importance to reflect. To follow through on realizing the healing wouldn't be complete without helping more people ahead. The silence was good, the isolation had peace but the final words of Chris McCandless still strike me deep: "Happiness is only real, when shared." Nothing lasts forever but letting go does feel uncomfortable. Setting my own intention for a mountain mindset based around sharing an appreciation, a love & respect for the land & people. I might have taken a simple approach to experiencing a complex world. And if theres anything Id still like to learn... is it better in life to ask questions than to give answers?
