As a few other commenters pointed out, the perspective of many on the idea of leisure time is that it will lead to one’s destruction. This is an incredibly damaging and blind perspective on the struggles of the working class. There is no leisure time when you work a poor paying physically and emotionally demanding job and spend the other hours of the day preparing for said job (house work, eating, commuting). Work will set you free but wage slavery binds you. There is also a learned helplessness that comes with this soul crushing routine that turns you against your fellow worker and pushes them to comply with a system that only breaks you. For some, this learned helplessness is the only way to cope with the reality that your life is to serve the same 5 oligarchs that rule.
