capitalism & burnout, long thread 4/?
If you help someone to the point of burnout, two things happen: 1) In the short term, you provide aid that the state now no longer needs to address. Despite the fact that helping others before yourself is "against the rules," the system will gladly take advantage of it.

Aiding others, then, is an act directly in defiance of this narrative, and mutual aid is the antithesis of capitalist philosophies.
Essentially, burnout is part of the "plan." It feeds the narrative. I think that when we experience burnout, it's because capitalist systems (particularly in the US) inherently give us back less than what we put in. Burnout is the systems' way of profiting off our emotional/social labor.

First, I wanna address what I originally said in a different way: one of capitalism's central narratives is "You have sole responsibility for taking care of yourself and your success." Especially in times of hardship, this ends up translating to: "You have to focus on your own shit first or you will starve." This isn't so much the truth as it is the capitalist ideal; it's what they want the truth to be, and they work hard to build a system that makes it true.

Someone brought up a good point about burnout. I don't claim to be an expert, but this is what I see:

One of the most insidious lies capitalism tells us is that we must help ourselves before we can effectively help others or else we risk our own survival. It's become pervasive, the core philosophy in basically every Hollywood action/thriller/apocalypse/scifi narrative, and it's also what keeps us apart and diminishes efforts toward mutual aid.

imagine someone logging on and seeing people being "proudly nbphobic" when in reality we're making fun of someone for not having the ability to think critically

Guys, be careful who you retoot from in the next few weeks as lots of aphobes from Tumblr are pouring into Mastodon, especially in the mastodon.social instance. Almost all of them are also transmed/truscum or truscum adjacent as well.
@fuckcompute@monsterpit.net
blocked berries.space too because they "don't allow ace discourse" and at least one of the mods is an aphobe
