Maybe I'll move back to Mexico. Rent has a lot to do with it, but the people, the climate, and the overall atmosphere has a lot to do with it too. My grievance isn't so much with the capitalist system as the kind of people that it's geared for. People who make thousands of dollars per month might not see the rent they pay as being that big a deal, but for people like me who make hundreds of dollars per month, it is a big deal. When I was living down south, my rent was just $600 pesos/month, or $130 Cdn. For that I got a beautiful coastline, great friends, great sex, and a respectable job-Teaching English at a private school- a lifestyle that suited me quite well. In Canada, I pay $450/month to live in a crime/drug infested neighborhood, with people that I hate, doing work that I despise, for dirt-shit wages that don't even pay the fucking rent, let alone buy me the food and alcohol that I need just to cope with living here. I'm beginning to think that I don't belong in this post-apocalyptic nihilistic world. Or if I do, then I don't belong here. I'm moving, for good. That's all there is to it.
