Mfw I realized I will never dismantle oppressive power structures that infiltrate our
economic landscape
That is why we are all Squidward. Weve uncovered the limits of capitalism and
realized that hard work may not always pay off. Weve begun to notice the
oppressive exploitation of others that our current economic and societal structure is
utterly dependent on to function. We yearn for something better, yet feel that
change is out of our reach. We become bitter, combative, self-depreciative, and
cynical. Theres a reason Squidward is the unhappiest character on Spongebob.
The show punishes Squidward for his views, hoping to prod viewers back towards
Spongebobs blithe, unfounded optimism.
Their efforts were to no avail. Millions of millennials are finding themselves
disillusioned, realizing all along that Squidward was the reasonable one. He had a
right to protest Mr. Krabs vile working conditions, and his sarcasm was merely a
coping mechanism for the injustices placed against him. Squidward is the
dissatisfied proletariat, and we identify with him more than ever. The difference is,
we have the energy and collective power to succeed where he could not. Together,
we can rise up against the bourgeoisie, establishing an egalitarian society that does
not prey on the lower classes. In the words of Spongebob, Im ready. Are you?
