I’m about to lose my job if i continue going mask off like this. Please talk some sense into me. Why should I keep my head low? How do you do it? How do you keep all the anger and frustration from corroding your brain?
Study modern workplace organizing tactics and understand that keeping your head low is critical. You don’t go around running your mouth in front of people you don’t trust.
If you feel like you’re really losing it then touching some grass is actual real advice. Like it was honest advice before people made it an insult. Prune your media feeds of things that only serve to make you angry. Do more things outside.
Hit the gym.
I’m serious. Go do something physically draining for an hour every other day. Doesn’t need to be lifting. Just something where you push your body a bit.
I mean if you wanna become, in your heart of hearts, a full on couch surfing crust punk commie who has no other goal in life than the revolutionary struggle for liberation, I’m not going to stop you
But if you aren’t there yet then maybe consider trying to filter or silo that version of yourself so you can pay the bills for now
Just stop talking. It’s so rare that talking gets one anything.
Read up on emotional regulation strategies and try to adopt a healthier mindset.
I’ve been there and done that and lost a great job for it. It’s really not worth the 2 seconds of satisfaction.
Also have you seen the current job market? 40% of people are not meaningfully employed. Sure that includes children and retirees. But it also includes landlords and everyone who is “employed” to lounge around and collect interest.
If they kept the unemployment figure qualifications the same, today’s data would be worse than the Great Depression. The only thing holding it up is consumer debt and the K shaped economy.
Just put the fries in the bag dawg. And I mean that in a caring way. It’s what I tell myself at work.
Adopt Crawler Carl’s motto: “You will not break me.”
I could read that as “I won’t be silenced.”
But yes, they may require us to shut up, but we will still keep the fire alive. There are more productive ways to channel that energy towards revolution, even if they appear out of reach at the moment.
