    Works hard kind of smart

    vs

    lazy, doesn’t try for more than 5 minutes, gets repeatedly told “you have so much potential if you would apply yourself” kind of smart

      hardworking = easily exploitable

      note: I meant that when modern society says work hard", they really mean “let yourself be easily exploited”

      especially in school, universities, work, etc

        Well, depends on what you put effort into and how you’re born and all ig. In some cases people need to let themselves be exploited to survive in the first place. There’s also the luck factor and you can also work hard and be independent but… I give up these are too many factors to consider I am not doing this.

        Honestly, yes.

        The culture always tell you to work harder and demand less. This is simply to make it easier to exploit you. Just work harder, and everything will be amazing and we won’t just tighten it even more, we promise
