You make it sound like you're just a cog in a machine with no agency and I do believe that's what it feels like (other countries are in late capitalism, too) but you're not if enough of you band together. You're not forced to watch your life pass before your eyes, you choose to play along with the machine's game. Hell, you even got the guns to take what should be yours and you just use them to shoot at little paper targets.

I don't think of you as fat and lazy or the devil. It's just frustrating to see your potential go to waste like that.

I concur with all of your statements, to include the one concerning the realization of being a cog in the machine.

I have several errands to run, and would love to continue the discussion when I return, if you're amenable, of course.

I am and I'm looking forward to it. It might take a while before I can reply, though, so please don't think I'm ghosting you.
