“Mondays are fine. Its your job that sucks”
Alternative version
Thats like saying you dont hate feudalism you just hate your feudal lord
Which I mean could’ve been a valid thing to say. If you felt your feudal lord and was fair and all that. Ofc the problem is the fuck all you could do if they weren’t
People will also say “benevolent dictatorship is the best form of government” without a hint of irony. ._.
Yes and no.
I absolutely hate capitalism.
But i also hate mondays so bad i have gone out of my way to find a work structure allowing me to skip mondays every week.
Now Tuesday is my monday and while i dont hate Tuesday itself and i no longer hate the day that used to be monday i do hate the Monday part of my Tuesday because capitalism is still dictating my work hours and i hate it.
would the popular conception of mondays, ie. the start of an oppressive five day work week still exist if capitalism is abolished?
I guess it depends on what alternatives are sprung up in its place.
I can only speak for myself that i am very motivated to work for the sake of growing humanity as long as my primary needs are unconditionally met.
The work week would be gone for me and personal/work projects would blend more into one. There will be weeks where i am working around the clock to Finnish a project because i am passionate about them. And weeks where i just lay in bed because i feel off.
Each according to their needs and abilities. The best coworker is a motivated and mentally healthy one.
If capitalism is abolished, we’re most likely going to be forced back to Feudalism. Mondays in Feudalism last 12+ hours and the work week continues until Saturday night.
Capitalism is when you rolls dice Garfield.
Capitalism is when iPhone in sick on Mondays.
in all capitals too. nice
Idk… I don’t even work on Monday and I still hate it.
It’s not capitalism it’s the forced work. People hated Mondays in the Soviet Union too.
Any system that concentrates power in the hands of the few is bad for the many.
Capitalism is just what most of the world calls it at the moment.
“But hey guys, there’s this other kind of social order that was also bad!”
I mean, yes? Maybe we should try to build a society that minimizes the amount of work that needs to be done. In order to do that, we have to recognize that capitalists would fight against our efforts, because they profit off of our labor.
And yes, the rulers of a USSR-style authoritarian socialist society would also fight against that kind of change, so maybe let’s not go that route.
Mondays aren’t real 🏴
I don’t hate my job. I also don’t care for capitalism.
Neither of these are why I don’t like Mondays.
I work in IT support, and Mondays are always one of the busiest days of the week.
It’s like y’all just save up all your IT problems to submit them as critical issues at 8AM on Monday because you like to watch me suffer. If your shit breaks on a Sunday or Friday, or whatever, please, for the love of God, don’t wait until Monday to put in a ticket.
You’re killing me here.
I too work in IT support and this is so true… But I do hate capitalism.
You might be talking about me here, but I drive a lot of sales and keep us going.
Tell me where to send the donuts, I got you guys covered.
I hate every day I live under capitalism
creating jobs for graffiti cleaners to please the ceo of the cleaning company?
This is dumb. I’ve had jobs I love, and jobs I hate. When I hate Mondays, there’s something I dislike about my job at the time.
Also, it’s natural to dislike the day back to work after time off, assuming you’ve got a lot of work to do.
Also, it’s the job you hate, not the economic system. People living in a feudal society also hated Mondays, the difference being that they hated Saturdays too because they worked 6 days a week, 12+ hours a day. They even worked on Sundays, but it was just a lighter form of work – mending garments instead of plowing fields.
Until the Replicator makes the world post-scarcity, some work is going to be inevitable, so there will be days of working, and days of no work. The first day back after a break will always be annoying.
Why not both?
Why would you hate Mondays if it didn’t mean you needed to start your soulless week of work?
In my line of work, there is no such thing as a weekend or “working hours”. People that are retired are also in a similar situation where technically there is no difference between a weekday and weekend.
The problem is that others have decided that Saturday and Sunday are days of rest. The genesis of this being religion. So, whether you work or not, Saturdays and Sundays are significantly quieter. In my case, they are much more peaceful and productive. Come Monday, other people’s bullshit (especially the one left unattended for two days) floods my inbox and blows up my phone.
TL;DR: Mondays suck anyway, thanks to religion. (/s…but just a little)
I don’t hate capitalism or Mondays actually. Both are fine and dandy in moderation.
We don’t hate “capitalism.”
We hate being farking exploited.
