I know that I didn’t want to raise animals, clean their pens (shovel shit), build and fix fences, tend crops (of hay), harvest hay into bales, chop wood daily for the extended cold season, haul water daily for animals because hoses and pipes freeze, slaughter the livestock and process my own meat,

and on top of that have a local job (which I guess may or may not exist now, so poverty) for the rest of my fucking life until I died from loneliness, hard work, and alcoholism, so I left my small town for the big city to get an “e-mail job” with the skills I had taught myself.

If any part of that is what you want to do, like my brother, that’s great! But if you haven’t sought it out or are doing it now, and especially if you’ve never done it before, then stop romanticizing it.

If you’ve never worked in a factory, aren’t trying to work in a factory, or aren’t working in a factory m, doing much harder labor than an “e-mail job,” then shut the fuck up about how great they are.

No one forced anyone to have an “e-mail job.” If they’re so horrible, then quit and become a farmer or factory worker. Simple.

“Oh how horrible it is for me to be forced into this nice cushy but boring office job because of society’s rules. If only I could be a hard working badass with a wife and kids like the happier poor people.

So wise to know money isn’t everything…” says every immature rebelling idiot city kid, at least in mindset, ever that the rest of us would like to punch in the face but don’t because they’re just too ignorant.

In this day and age, if you’re not doing it by now then you don’t actually want to do it.
