    Is that right? To the average person, “Anti-Work” sounds like you’re straight up against working, and unless you want to explain this to every single person individually, Fox News is going to keep having a field day misrepresenting your movement.

      Honestly that mod torpedoing the whole movement with a dumb interview and forcing the rebrand to work reform was probably one of the best things that could’ve happened.

      Yeah, “Work Reform” is much better. There’s this weird trend of massively exaggerating a talking point, as the echo chamber seems incapable of thinking about any kind of optics or moderation

        No work reform implies slightly different, which isn’t the point. Any message must make you question the system.

          If you’re marketing only to people with critical thinking skills you’ll miss most of the voting population, but you do you.

    Once I saw a guy arguing for pure capitalism because otherwise the state would have to force people to work with threats of incarceration or whatever.

    It’s like some sort of trolley problem delusion. It is fine shoving desperate people into whatever jobs they can get, but only if the Invisible Hand does it. It’s fine if the threat is homelessness and starvation, but only if the Invisible Hand does it.

    1. 60 seems optimistic
    2. Plenty of “antiwork supporters” do believe option 1
    3. Your stance is valid

      They may think they believe it, but the lockdowns of 2020 showed otherwise. Unless you’re one of the “lucky” nonneurotypical people with a disorder that makes it possible to just lay around and do nothing, people go stir crazy. Feeling productive may as well be on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. That’s one of the reasons the great resignation happened. Way too many of us are working bullshit jobs, and we got to face that reality head on, and didn’t like it one bit.

    What? A left wing movement that uses the wrong name to make people understand what they truly mean? Really? Nah, that would never happen!

      Adversaries to a movement will split hairs and redefine a movement anyways.

      That’s all we are seeing here. Look at now they tried to frame Black Lived Matters, something quite clean cut.

        BLM was a scam, a grift… that’s an undeniable fact.

        What was achieved? Because what we witnessed was violence, theft and property destruction. If you deny this, you are willfully ignorant or a bold faced liar.

        Oh and Malcolm X was right. More Black people should study Malcolm X and his message.
