This is exactly it. We never know what each other is struggling with that limits their capacity to do things, we don’t know what supports they need to succeed.

Thats fair. I guess its more so just hierarchy in general. When people are in power they get to decide what is an isnt valued.

I went and fixed my original comment

Also I apologize for immediately assuming that you were trying to be rude

Do you think this is a gotcha or something? I’m an anarchist, not a marxist.

There is another similar quote that I think fits your roommates situation.

“Somebody has said that dust is matter in the wrong place. The same definition applies to nine-tenths of those called lazy. They are people gone astray in a direction that does not answer to their temperament nor to their capacities. In reading the biography of great men, we are struck with the number of “idlers” among them. They were lazy so long as they had not found the right path; afterwards they became laborious to excess. Darwin, Stephenson, and many others belonged to this category of idlers.” - Peter Kropotkin

A reminder to people that there is no such thing as a lazy person. Only a person who’s work is not valued

Edit: erased “under capitalism” at the end. The problem of certain work or skills not being valued is not limited to just capitalism
