You’re heavily romanticizing agricultural work if you think it feels better than sitting in an office.
I get it, cube farms swallow your soul. But if it wasn’t more comfortable, then more people would be out in the fields growing crops and those jobs wouldn’t all be outsourced to migrant laborers.
The real travesty is the appropriation of the surplus value of labor, which results from the alienation of the means of production.
The tragedy of the commons isn’t that we’re no longer out there doing subsistance farming. It’s that corporations and private equity own everything, so the people doing the labor to produce can hardly afford to consume.
