I struggle with this too, and to some degree at least with my specific job and lots of the ones I see posted, it feels like its not the illusion of alienation, but that its actually correct and that the work is actually useless. At least for me personally I find it so very hard to be motivated to do something that doesn't matter for 40 hours a week. Which is easier than something that directly harms the world I guess..
