I think it’s the fact that you’re not in control that is the main issue. You’re working to fulfill someone else’s vision for their benefit, not yours.

But yeah, the sitting still all day is another layer of unfulfilling.

Did you read Marx, or is it only privileged people who can read and/or have time for that in your mind?

Apart from perhaps parenting, work is supposed to be the best, most fulfilling thing in life. The root crime of capitalism is alienation, the source from which every other of its more serious crimes flow.

Some of us aren’t repressed!
