+ I bought some Doc Martens. +

+ As a means of understanding how they're doing, and what they might be struggling with. +
+ Rarely, though, is there such focus on our struggles. +
+ There is a lot of focus on my struggles, and how I should solve them. +
+ People make entire fucking careers out of telling you how to best thrive under capitalism. +
+ Life coaches, wellness influencers, financial gurus, and a load of other shite. +
+ There will always be

+ +

+
+ But... we don't really see this for collective action. +
+ There are so many tired YouTube video essays that explain how if each of us all did one specific thing, + we could save the world. +
+ We don't see so many that drive us all to collectively take one action as a group. +
+ We don't see influencers telling us all to see that the shoes we are all walking in all have + the same tread, the same wear patterns, and all are set to be uncomfortable as fuck to walk in unless we do something about it. +
+ Because that doesn't get clicks. +
+ Because the shoes came broken from the factory. +
+ Because no matter how many new soles you buy, they will wear out. +
+ Because ensuring better fucking shoes are made for those next doesn't help me. +
+ Because I can't wake up, go to work, change the system, and come home to sleep the same day. +
+ But. +
+ If we don't change this, who will? +
+ If we don't all walk, together, in our collective shoes, and demand that things change, we just end up with the +
+ Same. Shitty. System. +
+ Forever. +
