We Are in a Debt-Driven Society
In today’s economy, working the traditional 9-to-5 is becoming less and less worth the toll it takes on your mental health. We live in a society fueled by debt, where the cost of goods continues to rise, and the value of your dollar diminishes with each passing day. The reality is harsh: the paper money we use is printed out of thin air, and its value is rapidly declining. This system is designed to keep people working hard, but it’s not sustainable in the long run. The sad truth is, those in power don’t care if you burn out or break down—they just want the profits to keep flowing.
A System Tailored for Collapse
The current economic model prioritizes profit above all else. While it might work in the short term, it’s a recipe for disaster over time. The constant push for productivity, without considering the well-being of workers, is leading to a decline in the quality of life. We are seeing the early signs of a crumbling population, where the cost of living is no longer affordable for the average person. The tail they’ve set for us is long and winding, leading to nowhere but exhaustion and despair.
The Impending Skills Gap and Economic Impact
The shortage of young men in the workforce is already creating a skills gap that could have serious consequences in the future. Fields traditionally dominated by male workers are struggling to find replacements, leading to a potential decline in productivity and economic growth. As men opt out of the labor force, we may see more foreclosures, repossessed cars, and broken families. The societal implications are profound, affecting everything from the structure of families to the level of political engagement.
The Lie We’ve Been Sold
We’ve been sold a lie, much like the citizens of Rome before the empire fell. Romans refused to work jobs that were beneath their status, and the empire relied on mass immigration to fill the gaps. But eventually, even the immigrants stopped working, and the empire crumbled. Today, we are witnessing a similar decline in the West. Immoral and ungodly societies do not last long, and the modern workforce is increasingly opting out of what they see as a predatory system.
The Steady Paycheck: A Double-Edged Sword
A steady paycheck is like a drug that lulls you into complacency. It keeps you in a blue-pill fog, preventing you from taking risks or pursuing your dreams. Your world becomes small, and your potential remains untapped. Taxes now take up to 50% of any earned income in the modern West, leaving workers with little to show for their hard work.
The Modern Job Agreement
The modern job “agreement” is simple: you owe 40 hours of work each week, and in return, you get a paycheck on Fridays. But is that really enough? The rise of feminism in the 1970s encouraged women to compete with men for the same jobs. The 1980s saw the offshoring of industry, and the 1990s brought NAFTA, which further eroded the job market. By the time the millennium rolled around, anything that could be done online was outsourced to the cheapest labor markets in the world.
Conclusion
The system we’ve built is unsustainable. The relentless pursuit of profit at the expense of workers’ well-being is leading us down a dangerous path. Men are leaving the labor force because they see the writing on the wall: hard work no longer guarantees success or security. It’s time to wake up to the reality of our debt-driven society and demand a system that values people over profits.
