## Resource

Sharing Your Struggles is a Sign of Strength Not Weakness Niles Heckman Download In the grand bazaar of late-stage big capital corporatism, especially in the US of A which has had decades of Edward Bernays style Public Relations trying to make minds only more individualistic and trained to poo poo social sharing and cohesion, one is encouraged to market oneself as either a flawless product for women or a tough it up bootstrap hustle culture man. With robot A saying "How ya doin?"... and Robot B responding "good good"... the modern worker must be endlessly “optimized,” emotionally frictionless, smiling through precarity like an airline stewardess on a crashing aircraft. Anxiety becomes a personal failure rather than a rational response to a deranged economic order. But speaking of one’s struggles is not weakness. It is, in fact, an act of rebellion.
