If you treadmill enough eventually you may be Annie too sure a treadmill if your own to put other people in so you no longer have to treadmill anymore.

It definitely happen to you, just keep running in that treadmill and voting for policies that favour the rich, because the more they do well the nicer your treadmill will be!.

A fool's devotion devoid of motion.

While Capitalism definitely sucks ass, I feel like no matter what economic system you're in there's always going to be some treadmill to walk, because there will always be things you need, and you will need to work to earn them in some way.

Even communism doesn't just give everybody shit for free

Lemmy's constant pro communist propaganda is one of the more annoying bits of this place.

Yeah... I get behind the fact that our current economic system is flawed as fuck, but acting like communism is some panacea for life is just dumb.

The problem isn't the economic system, it's us, or more specifically our greed. There are and always will be those who want more than their fair share in life and will more than happily fuck everyone else over to get it.
