“No, it's not 'normal' for humans to be in competition all the time. It's not normal to work for most of your waking hours during the day. It's not normal to be stressed 24/7. Stop taking a few hundred years of capitalism and pretending that's just how being human is. It's not.” —Hilary Agro, PhD (anthropologist & community organizer)

This is why history repeats itself. New generations grow up, just like you did, thinking all this shit has been this way forever and it is just how it is. It is hard as a human to get perspective around that. So the cycle continues.
