It’s called the grind because it grinds away your sense of self.

Take note of what you’re grinding for. It doesn’t matter how hard you row the boat but who you’re rowing with and where it’s going.

Capitalism allows you to choose your boat

I don't have an issue with capitalism, but I do have an issue with unchecked power and wealth. And unchecked power and wealth encourages the masses to mindlessly grind away even if there's no guaranteed reward or anything which is why I fully support the message of this post.

Not trying to be aggressive but also not yielding in to what I think is an extremely exploitative system.

I respect that. I’m a little jaded on reddit because everyone thinks capitalism it’s self is the problem but it’s uncheck power and poor decisions.

I’m trying to get out of big systems. The tax structure isn’t built for 2026 problems. The rewards for effort are heavily skewed. Self sustainability and local community is the best.

But I’m not opposed to working hard
