Why you STILL work 40 hours +
Why does politics feel exhausting, confusing, or simply “not for people like us”?
This video explores how the modern 40-hour work week isn’t just about productivity — it’s about time deprivation. When most of your waking hours are spent working, commuting, recovering, and repeating, what’s left for civic engagement, political education, or meaningful participation?
I break down how long working hours drain energy, fragment attention, and quietly discourage people from getting involved in politics — not through force, but through fatigue. When survival takes priority, democracy becomes something you observe rather than shape.
If you’ve ever felt too tired, too busy, or too mentally drained to care about politics, this isn’t a personal failure — it’s structural.
This video is for anyone questioning:
• why political apathy is so common
• how work shapes our ability to engage with society
• whether the system benefits from your exhaustion
