Life under capitalism feels less like living and more like playing a game designed by someone else - with the rules constantly changing and glitches everywhere. You start with a character no one asked you to create, born into a level determined by your parents’ wealth, connections, or luck.
Every choice you make - where to work, what to buy, how to live - is dictated by an invisible algorithm of profit. Your achievements aren’t measured by growth, learning, or happiness - they’re measured by how much value you add to someone else’s scoreboard. Pause to think, question, or rest, and the game marks you as “inactive,” “unproductive,” or “error.”
The bugs are everywhere: necessities like housing, healthcare, and education are locked behind paywalls. Success often depends not on skill, but on who you know, how well you market yourself, or how much you can consume. Meanwhile, the top players - the billionaires, corporations, and shareholders - are the ones writing patches, controlling the rules, and collecting infinite points while the rest of us grind endlessly.
Capitalism has turned existence into a flawed simulation where freedom is an illusion, and the game is rigged from the start. We keep playing, leveling up, and grinding - but the system never wins or loses. It only collects.
