I dont understand your sentiment here. Is free time not just the time where you get to choose to do something as opposed to having some responsibility or obligation that requires your attention?

    What obligations do I have that I didn't choose with my free time? It's all just frame of mind. Does life just happen to you? Or do you choose what to do with your life and your time?

    lets be completely honest its a combination of both for different people depending on their class.

    There are people out there who have the privilege to choose almost anything they want to do in life and.... just do it.

    Meanwhile for others who are of a lower class and have access to less education o. the childfree lifestyle and less access to birth control and abortions life very much 'happens to them' more than they to it sadly...

    I'll simplify. Who chose those obligations in the first place?

    The bourgeois that r un our societies and media. And thheir fucking mercenary pigs.

    Heck, they have had even teenagers thinking that becoming a parent is the ONLY path for a human to take in life for millenia

    Id also add its partially the fault of parents who are regretful that they become parents. We have to starrt normalizing people waiting a long long tjme to understand if theyll ever be a parent or not. People also need to realize within themselves that they should not be ashamed for taking a long time to just soul search and understand if theyll ever become a parent

    Everything is a choice. You could go live in the wild like a hermit if it all feels so trapping. You could completely opt out of society. Just because the path of least resistance isn't what you wish it was doesn't mean you're not choosing it. Hell, you could choose to kill yourself if you were really feeling that imprisoned. Life doesn't owe you anything.

    actually youre compleyely wrong.

    EVERY.SINGLE.SQUARE.MILE of land and water on the planet has been bought out by governments or the billionaires. The only omes that havent been bought yet are the omes owned by uncontacted tribes. Has anyone here tried to come into conttact with the uncontacted tribes? Good luck getting there and good luck assimilating inside of them heh! So you will have to pay to build there and live there likely. So NO you cannot opt oout of society in the current world that we live in.

    Also .... why would I kill myself ...... when I could just kill the people who habe made my life suck instead? https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.12.04.23299380v1.full , https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_Revolution
