Yeah pretty often. It goes even further, as in, I don't want to participate in society, or forced capitalism, in general. I'm aware I'm part of it but I always tried to not be a part of that shitty system. I'm not buying a house, no car, no gas to buy, no superior education, no certifications or high paying job. I just wasted my "potential" and will continue to do so.
To me it looks like a big chuck of people have some sort of Stockholm syndrome towards capitalism and how our society makes us think this is some sort of meritocracy.
That being said, my behaviour can also be linked to my spicy brain. I'm probably neurodivergent but the health system where I live doesn't help adults with that.
In short, I'm disappointed by what I see around me and I don't want to join the game. I don't want to join the competition of poors against poors
