Having a real hard time accepting capitalism recently.

NickDS [Edit] [Delete] 12:29, 9 September '15

Really struggling with 5 days a week. Don't think I'll ever get used to this, don't think I want to. 5 days on, 2 days off, 5 days on, 2 days off, to rent a flat I hardly spend any time in and never see anyone cause I'm paying through the nose. I'll be working till I'm 85 and the thought is killing me. I need to be more creative and have more time to myself before my life flashes before my eyes.

So ^that cropped up in my fb feed recently (not a friend of mine). Am I right to be a bit irked by it?
Yes, there are many issues with capitalism, the least of which is having to work in am office five days a week which means you don't have time to be 'creative'.
We'd all love more free time especially to do more fun/creative things but considering there's people in this country and abroad working a hell of a lot harder just to survive it seems pretty crass to moan about being a special snowflake who doesn't have to pursue their hobbies and it's so unfair you have to work like everyone else.
