Learning How To Walk in Our Own Shoes
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I bought some Doc Martens.
|
|
<br>
|
|
Anyone who has ever broken in Docs, knows the process is uncomfy as hell, which made me think
|
|
<br>
|
|
We talk a lot about how to <i>walk in someone elses shoes</i>
|
|
<br>
|
|
As a means of understanding how they're doing, and what they might be struggling with.
|
|
<br>
|
|
Rarely, though, is there such focus on <i>our</i> struggles.
|
|
<br>
|
|
There is a lot of focus on <i>my</i> struggles, and how <i>I</i> should solve them.
|
|
<br>
|
|
People make entire fucking careers out of telling you how to best thrive under capitalism.
|
|
<br>
|
|
Life coaches, wellness influencers, financial gurus, and a load of other shite.
|
|
<br>
|
|
There will always be
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>An unkempt white dude willing to tell you what stocks to invest.</li>
|
|
<li>A software engineer who dreamed of being in the army telling you how to lift.</li>
|
|
<li>A model who made one issue of Vogue telling you what trends are next.</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
A student who walked by one pro-palestine protest telling you that thrifting from Goodwill is making the
|
|
world a better place.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<br>
|
|
But... we don't really see this for collective action.
|
|
<br>
|
|
There are so many tired YouTube video essays that explain how if each of us all did <i>one specific thing</i>,
|
|
we could save the world.
|
|
<br>
|
|
We don't see so many that drive us all to collectively take one action as a group.
|
|
<br>
|
|
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.
|
|
<br>
|
|
Because that doesn't get clicks.
|
|
<br>
|
|
Because the shoes came broken from the factory.
|
|
<br>
|
|
Because no matter how many new soles you buy, they <i>will</i> wear out.
|
|
<br>
|
|
Because ensuring better fucking shoes are made for those next doesn't help <i>me.</i>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Because I can't wake up, go to work, change the system, and come home to sleep the same day.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<strong>But.</strong>
|
|
<br>
|
|
If we don't change this, who will?
|
|
<br>
|
|
If we don't all walk, together, in our collective shoes, and demand that things change, we just end up with the
|
|
<br>
|
|
Same. Shitty. System.
|
|
<br>
|
|
Forever.

If you need to ask if what you're doing is the former, it probably is.
|

Go to hell.
