Would You Kill for a Job?

People do for far less.

If the Covid lockdowns taught us anything, its that a colossal number of people would happily subject tens of thousands of people to easily preventable deaths if it meant they could get Applebees for dinner. Besides that, huge numbers of people join the military precisely because they value a Muslim foreigners life as being worth less than a joke degree from some no name college.

So long as there is a bare minimum amount of indirection, they happily do it.

Beware - the review contains spoilers.

Why would a review include the ending of the movie?

That remind me of The Ax [0]

In a hypothetical scenario, what’s a better moral option? IMO, kill yourself, instead. There’s no point to any of this to begin with, and what kind of world are you creating for your children in this scenario?

Besides that, where’s the solar punk fiction, or the post-work society fiction? Why is everything and everyone so fixated on dystopian fantasies without any balancing with other types of possible realities?

I’ve found that people who want you to focus only on the negatives in any scenario are motivated by ulterior motives. That is to say, they’re not realists or pessimists, they’re simply conniving, and are manipulating you to gain something else.
