Comment thread FTW "I work almost 2 hours a day, 5 days a week. Also I'm not a bro."

Because working class people love being lectured to by lazy freaks who shove their divisive identity politics in their faces.

The whole thing gets worse and worse and worse the more I read about it. Its amazing. I've never seen a single event cause so much chaos so quickly. r/WorkReform has become the new home for the AntiWork refugees. They're constantly meme'ing about the disastrous interview

Kiwifarms is the best place for this kind of 'news', or at least keeping up with public trainwrecks

There is nothing wrong with living within your means. The problem I see is that some people want to consume more than they produce and then cry that it's a human rights violation.

If they don't work it just passes the work on to someone else to act as their servants.

Some poor blind Indian orphan stitching their tranny tube socks together so they can buy them for $1.

It’s never successful people who worked hard to get where they are at who are crying out about this antiwork commie bullshit.

[–]Zapped 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Life can be hard work. It seems that we have an entire class of lazy people who have learned that they can mooch off of society's good will. It has been going on generationally enough where they think it's virtuous to think that way.

You can visibly see the interviewer wanting to destroy this person but couldn't bring himself to do it out of pity.

Give a tranny enough talking time and they will jump in the trash can by themselves and put the lid on it.

[–]Chipit[S] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Yeah, he didn't do anything. He just let the tranny hang himself with his own rope.

[–]Trajan 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Indeed. It's amusing that his ex-comrades are attempting to frame this as if some far-right monster ambushed him. He not only brought his own role. He slung it over the branch and would have tied himself a noose if laziness hadn't sent him into a slumber.

These anti-work people don't seem much different to me than most children of wealthy families. Chelsea Clinton, for example, isn't that much different from the basement dude except his parent's don't have a foundation.

[–]jet199 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

I wonder if because all these kids since the 90s have been taught about discrimination we now have millions of straight white men thinking "right, where's all this wealth and power I was promised? I was told my life would be easy and privileged but it's hard. Not fair."

Well that does explain why they become reddit mods.

    Frankly I really enjoyed it when I was on low paid jobs because there's no responsibility and you don't really have to think about what you do. You can just work, chat and feel you've had a bit of physical exercise.

    In America it's likely even better because housing and food is so much cheaper than Europe.

    But you have a choice. You can live like that if you want to but you can take more responsibility and do a paper shuffling job or you can choose to something higher paid to buy more shit. It's nothing like slavery, you move any time you want.

    [–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

    housing and food costs are way up. I'd get wanting work reform and to increase wages but of course this tranny clown being discussed did not help that cause.

    What I find funniest is that this is probably the first time a lot of the r/AntiWork people had ever seen their moderator and were horrified that someone so delusional was the face of their organisation. The public face. The lipstick on a pig face. Thankfully they've left for r/WorkReform. 1.7 million strong sub destroyed by a single Troon. That has to be some kind of record.

    [–]jet199 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

    You want to increase wages you have to increase the value you bring to the company, there's no other way.

    If you just raise wages the companies will just employ less people.

    This is what happens in Europe where they have high minimum wages. Places like France and Spain rarely have unemployment rates below 10%. And it's the other workers who have to pay for their benefits.

    [–]Trajan 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    Yeah, it's for good reason that certain types of work pay less. If I could walk dogs or serve food, yet earn what I do now then it'd be no contest. Less stress and far less of my free time devoted to learning new skills for my work.

    Government mandated wages are a form of price control - something that seldom delivers the results promised. Besides, most low paid work is for younger and inexperienced workers. Barring intellectual disabilities, laziness, or poor life choices, most people grow out of low income situations - if they aren't incentivised to stagnate.

    [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    it's not a just world and higher wages don't always come naturally with higher production. There is a place for unions forcing owners hands, they'll only raise wages if forced. And taxes aren't related to govt benefits. Just printed pieces of fiat paper remember.

    Just got on Reddit after this. A little bit few weeks before. All read banned on several subs. Just for talking.

    [–]asterias 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

    There's a real issue of young people getting exploited and expected to work full time for 400 euros, a sum which is not enough for anything, even a simple condo. Yet, a tranny saying "I want to do nothing but teach critical theory and get paid handsomely" is really disrespectful to those people.

    Anyway, depending on where you live, the basic message of r/antiwork can be valid, don't let some people, be it reddit mods or fox news convince you it's just a caricature.

    [–]Chipit[S] 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

    The basic message of /r/antiwork is communist and anarchist, and has only led to gargantuan human tragedy every time it's been tried.

    [–]asterias 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

    Communists always try to take existing human problems and use them to promote their agenda through entrism. Then someone will say "let's not care about this problem because those who complain about it are surely communists" and so on. Which is what I'm trying to say here.

    [–]Chipit[S] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    Communism is a deadly ideology. You'd be better served by very publicly casting them out, like the right did with nazis.

    Actqktually...

    There was a vote on whether or not to do it. The vote was overwhelmingly "no". Going on Fox News isn't going to win anyone over. There is nothing to be gained. You're just there so they can have a "gotcha" moment. This person stepped up and did the interview anyway, saying that they had television interview experience.

    I studied this myself and couldnt find whether this story was true or not. From this Saidit post

    I've been trying to find the truth about u/AbolishWork being chosen for the Fox interview.

    The mods of r/AntiWork claim that they turned down the Fox interview invitation and u/AbolishWork decided to do it anyway.

    u/AbolishWork claims they were requested for the interview by name and the other mods agreed.

    Whatever happened, r/AntiWork is dead now - which is hilarious.

    When was this done? "Doreen" wants to work, but won't take the AC out of the window? Dor is obivously in the US, take the AC out of the window bro.

    Also though, when the host says you can quit when you want, some judges seem to think they can have a say in the matter: https://lasvegassun.com/news/2022/jan/27/when-a-medical-team-quit-this-hospital-sued-to-for/

    In big expensive cities like NYC though, dog walkers can make enough to live in big expensive cities like NYC. They have apps, develop relationships with clients, manage many dogs, and then run around and comedy or acting at night. I don't think Doreen is doing any of that though.

    Based on the arguments put forward by the employer ThedaCare, they essentially guilt tripped the court into ordering an injunction preventing the workers from taking up their new jobs. That sets a very bad precedent.

    The seven workers say they all applied on their own initiative. They asked ThedaCare to match the offers, but ThedaCare declined, stating that “the long-term expense to ThedaCare was not worth the short-term cost,” Breister wrote.

    Ascension essentially set the going rate for technical expertise in stroke care by offering the workers more than they were earning at ThedaCare and with better hours. (Ascension, unlike ThedaCare, doesn’t run its stroke services around the clock.)

    ThedaCare didn’t choose to meet that rate. Instead, it sought sympathy from the court by complaining about how Ascension’s hirings, “at the height of a pandemic surge, will disrupt access to critical care for the people in our region.”

    The injunction acted as a judicial version of a “noncompete” clause, which allows employers to bar their workers from moving to a putatively rival business. In a few states, including California, noncompete clauses are unenforceable; in others, they’ve been imposed on professional employees and even fast-food workers.

    yeah and non-comptete clauses aren't legally enforceable but usually workers can't afford to go to court and fight it so they acquiesce to it.
