Comment on it's a matter of motivation
bearboiblake@pawb.social 6 days agoI feel like I answered the question completely adequately, but I’d be happy to address your question too.
Why do you people choose their careers under capitalism? Why would someone choose to be a teacher, a social worker, a mental health counselor, an academic researcher, a vet tech, a graphic designer, for example?
I’d say people choose those careers because they either have an interest/passion for a certain subject/discipline, because they care about improving their community, because they want to help others, or because they just felt like that would be an occupation that suits their abilities. Or, heck, maybe they just chose it because they thought it sounded interesting.
I don’t see why any of that would change at all in an absence of the profit motive.

I chose mine because it pays well.
Also, do you live with your parents? Because these comments definitely have that vibe.

Good for you! I hope you have a comfortable life, you deserve it - so does everyone, regardless of their career or living situation. What do you do for work?
Remember, though, that your experience is not universal. I chose my career because I was interested and passionate about it. I have friends who feel like their careers just chose them, by pure happenstance. Everyone is different.
I live in a lovely apartment with my extremely handsome husband, who is also anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist and based as fuck.
How about you? Do you live on some billionaire’s sofa, or something? Just curious about why you’re clutching your pearls so firmly about my principled anti-capitalist position.
