    Why is it that it seems everyone has to optimize everything to the maximum threshold? Life's become so competitive that simply existing and getting up every morning doesn't seem to cut it anymore. Did we reach a point of over-education and under-employment for the vast majority of humanity?

    Because capitalism just lets richoids steal everything

    the USA is a very winner-take-all mentality (although I think this originates with the UK) and through culture and the internet this impacts everyone else. Of course not all Americans are like this, but American business is very much like this and it's cancerous.
    Nice art OP

    I don't think he is claiming to be a commie sympathizer. He's just stating the simple fact that late-stage capitalism allows the wealthy elite to separate from the commoners.

    They don't like Israelis here. Prepared to be hassled by your immigration officer at the customs. But if you get thru, check out Koh Tao. Beautiful island.

    That's not capitalism, that's just good old fashion corruption and oligarchy (America has always been a shadow oligarchy btw)
    Once you get big enough you can bully the government into subsidizing your company with tax payer money.

    A true guru, surely.
    OP's post is exemplified in a culture like South Korea's, maxed to the gills on consumption, status-seeking, vanity, and cutthroat competition between all actors, young & old, male & female. And for what? They'll all tell you that they hate it, how exhausting, anxiety-inducing, and depraved it is, and yet few can conceive of refusing to participate. In a dog-eat-dog world, only he who willfully seeks the Path of the Dog keeps his bowl filled.

    School unironically.
    There's nothing else to do but shit-talk each other and compare each other's grades, you compete to memorize factoids, you're taught from an early age that factoids and test scores are the most important thing.
    Basically the goal for the youth is no longer that they go outside, have fun, play, and explore, it's to educate them instead. When you focus on education their brain learns that they are in a competition with everyone.
    >WHAT? You can't name all 50 state capitals?
    >Damn, you go to public school?
    >Kids these days can't name all the state capitals
    Ect ect, the entire education culture is about this hyper-competitive (but also paradoxically inclusive) system where you spend years competing on the most minor things like how you write your name so neatly on the paper so some post-menopause foid can decide to give you kizzat (a good grade and attention)
