Dear Gregor Samsa,

Alienation isn’t just personal—it’s political. Exploitative and oppressive systems strip us of our humanity, forcing us to conform in a world that values only utility and productivity. The cost of not fitting into this mold is steep, and like you, many are discarded when they no longer serve the market's needs.

Alienation is more than just a feeling—it’s a symptom of systemic oppression.

Yet we must stay strong and continue the fight for dignity and justice, even in a world that seeks to dehumanize us.
