Another good article by George Monbiot. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/oct/14/age-of-loneliness-killing-us
Hi Ozy. I think most of us can empathise with you even though all our circumstances are different. It just goes to show what an insular, alienating world Capitalism is.but not for the wealthy however. Mental ill health! you can put that down as an occupational hazard of being a member of the working class and I don't believe for one second, that it only affects 1 in 4 of us.I have found, moreover, that being a Socialist sets us apart from the vast majority of our fellow workers and often leads to ill feeling, even amonst our family and friends, because of their inability to get over their history of socialisation into Capitalism and thus, an inability to see "anything but" Capitalism.Do we feel sorry for them in their ignorance, or anger, that their acceptance keeps us in our position as wage slaves and allows a tiny fraction of humans to live opulent lives, at the expense of the majority? I don't know the answer but what I do know is I'd rather live with my eyes wide open, than wide shut!!!
I'm sorry but I just had to remove most of that last post. Cannot believe what I'd written. Talk about compulsive disclosure! What is wrong with me. Sorry folks!
Nowts a bother Ozy. Life sometimes makes you feel fit to burst and you have just got to let off some steam. Be well.
Theres nothing wrong with you mate. Sometimes, getting stuff like this out in the open, either by talking or writing it down helps. It's a kind of cathartic experience! I can relate to much that you wrote, as I'm sure, can many others.So we're not a bunch of crazy revolutionary bastards, but the majority "are" a bunch of delusional, conned lemming's, thats for sure!
