The source of unhappiness

Name: Anonymous 2007-09-27 10:00 ID:y8V9+EMG

My theory is that most people are unhappy because they have to work in jobs they hate in order to stay alive. These people people become bitter and surly over time, and they spread the unhappiness to people they deal with, and their families, and so on.

I believe all humans have a right to employment that is reasonably enjoyable.

But the world is cruel so billions of people will continue hating their lives.

This is what government regulation of the market does.

That's not your theory. You picked it up from some media article made by one of many emo socialist pseudo-intellectuals.

Israel makes more people unhappy than happy.  Does your shitty theory take that into account?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx's_theory_of_alienation

You're a little late to this observation. Everyone's favorite Jew and Marxist, Karl Marx himself had a name for this.

He called it alienation, as through our labor we alienate ourselves from ourselves and from one another.

For some reason those democracies I've lived in (count: seven of them) that had higher government regulation were overall happier. Less fear factor, ya know? It's one of the big causes of politics in the workplace, and monetary worries is a large cause of marital friction.

Leave your country a bit more often, okay? There's a huge world out there that doesn't quite match your unsubstantiated pet theories.

The reason you associate this view with pseudo-intellectuals and socialists alike is that Marx wrote extensively on it.

I as an ardent capitalist myself believe this theory of alienation has some merit.

All his tomes and volumes of text can be summed up into "People don't like to work". No shit sherlock, now how about facing other aspects of reality like how people would rather work for an innovative private enterprise which listens to you if you have an idea to improve efficiency than a bloated bureaucracy that wants you to shut the fuck up so there is less paper work.

Busshism is a fagged up version of China. Most of Chinese culture comes from India. The Chinese are not creative and not a very great people. There are 1000000000 of them yet all they've done is build a wall and stick things into their asses. What the fuck?

"People don't like to work"
I do. I love my job. I love my vocation.

I was doing it for fun as a kid, and now they're paying me $$$ to do it. Awesome.

because private enterprises can't be bloated bureaucracies and public enterprises can't be innovative, amirite?

Don't change these.
