stockholm syndrome for capitalism.
or,
Economic cuckold
My mom who is a child pediatrician and is in love with her work(still getting exploited by the system but shes at least happy).
I agree with this in principle (and I know it’s just a meme and I’m taking it too seriously) but how do we still allow for people who take pride in their trade or craft, even if the majority value has been stolen by a megacorp? I work for one of those huge soulless corps. Sometimes, every once in a great while, I enjoy working on something I’ve built. I’ll put in more hours than I have to just because I’m having a good time or whatever. I guess that’s still separate from the “being on my grindset” culture of doing that all the time though.
Idk, thinking out loud here.
Be excited about what you produce, not the amount of labor you spend on it
