You're not a slave to the elite if you don't want to be one. I do not know why it is so popular today to constantly call oneself a victim of the top ten thousand, but it seems to have epidemic proportions.
Repeating this all the time does not make it true, but this accusation does some damage. In the sense that the gap between people is widened. The hope of freeing oneself by moving work from the office to the Internet will not come true and is an illusion.
Of course you are inferior to the powerful and as long as you do not belong to them you will remain so. This is reality. There's no need to despair of that. Crypto currency is no way out of this psychological corset (as it's also assumed in the comment section).
I would even assume the opposite if the attempts to achieve one's own financial wealth through cryptorisation of means of payment dominated. Then one is only wanting to join the club of the riches and identifies through money instead of work.
Identifying with your work remains an essential part of your mental health and not vice versa. Through what else do you want to have an affiliation and thus an identification if not through what you feel as meaningful daily activity? Who does it help whom, in response to what you do professionally, to say that you are merely a vicarious agent of destructive powers? This can fuel a stubborn resignation in the recipients of this message. How can one take seriously someone who gives me information about his work in such a way?
It is important to maintain one's own work ethic and to be effective in it or to practice it. No matter what kind of living you do. It is always better to see yourself as useful and valuable in it. In fact, this hard work is in the sense of an inner maturing process and one has to ask oneself as an individual many uncomfortable questions that have to do with consumption and ethics. Anyone who detests his work should not blame anyone else.
In modern civilizations, most work is a measure to preserve the structure that has become self-supporting. In my country, much of the supply from agriculture has come to a standstill. Decentralised self-sufficiency is something of an impossibility, at least in the cities. We are all dependent on the big power suppliers and as long as you don't provide your laptop by muscle power, you can only dream of independence.
Yes, change your work if you find it unethical and look for something you are more aligned to.
I agree that work should not be the sole identification with life. It should be enough that someone agrees with the choice of his work environment and establishes a connection with colleagues and the leading people of the company. You don't have to sell your soul for that.
