Do you really win if capitalism dictates when you should feel / cry?

But they don’t dictate it. They win if you cry only when it doesn’t affect them

They do. The capitalistic grind makes you think it’s more worthwhile to cry while making money, rather than cry when you needed to.

Either way you can produce a strong argument they’re influencing when you cry so by your logic they’ve already won. Your lost agency has jack shit to do with whether you cry or not so let them cry.

I don’t think they care when you do it, as long as you do your job

If I can be less productive at work and get paid to cry, then that’s a double win on the capitalists

You could just not be productive without the crying. With the crying it just makes it sound like capitalism is beating you to do your job and you just keep doing it.

Hardly a win lol

But they get you to cry on their terms. How much is agency worth as a human being - more or less than the hourly wage?

On their terms? The capitalists don’t want you to cry while you’re supposed to be working. Crying on their terms would be crying outside of work.
