Don't forget, you are a job and you have a job to do.
Sep 23 2017
It is the duty of the US citizen to have and to be a job. Not to know anything, not to believe anything, or value anything, definitely not to march or take action for what you believe in or value. Your duty is to contribute to the wealth of the capitalists above you, regardless of your knowledge or your values, capitalists who will in turn provide your offspring and loved ones and neighbors with opportunities for servitude. It's a contract, a social contract. It's social, in that it affects everyone in your community, and it's a contract in that it contracts your possibilities and limits your imagination and your world.
In a Moment of Truth, Jeff Dorchen does his job considering the jobs we all have to do in this country - from the house cleaners and senile politicians to the ICE agents and unfunny late night talk show hosts - working together to keep this whole thing rolling, steadily onward, to the cliff's edge just on the horizon.
