    Yup, they want to live in fantasy land where they benefit from other people’s work, but do none themselves. They’re still children, but most of them will eventually grow up.

    The rest will become communists, which is something I’ve been seeing a lot of on Lemmy.

      Let’s not forget that communists do work. Not saying you said otherwise, just a reminder.

      Yeah the 40+ hours of manual labor I do producing 3 $25,000 machines in a week while being paid $1000 is totally not work at all.

      Critiquing a system of exploitation is only possible if one is lazy and worthless, not something that typically and historically comes from those most oppressed under a given system.

      Refusal to blindly submit to coercive hierarchies is a sign of immaturity, while blind obedience to that system makes you a real man. Only people who blindly accept their and the exploitation of their friends and family are adults.

        I love to sit around every once in a while, nothing wrong with that. Sometimes I sit in quiet contemplation for days at a time, other times I just go golfing or fishing or take a vacation to Bora Bora to sit on the beach and drink. If you want to do these things it’s not hard, start a successful business or make a smart real estate investment!

          Of course I want to work. Saying people just don’t want to work is absurd.

            I’m glad you understand the problem

              Your assumption that the antiwork movement is just made of lazy assholes who don’t wanna do anything? Yeah, that’s a problem.

                It’s not an assumption. It’s literally in the name. It’s literally the entire content of OP’s submission. Where do you think you are?

                  Anti work isn’t “I don’t want to work”. It’s “I don’t agree with capitalist employment”. The antiwork movement WANTS to work, they just don’t want it to be a prerequisite for a comfortable life.

                  Also, the OP is not against work. Again, they are against NEEDING to work; the coercive relationships in place that force us to work or else be stricken with poverty.

                    The antiwork movement WANTS to work

                    Then they need to find a new slogan. Because that is literally the complete opposite of the movement that’s been labeled and the person/people who thought this up must have been trolling. You are sending the wrong message and you’re going to be dismissed without a second thought, just as it has been here.

      Or you could try reading what was actually said properly, rather than making up something different that wasn’t said by anyone except you.

      There’s nothing wrong with wanting to live without working. I already do this as a landlord and a business owner/investor. Maybe when you grow up you will be successful like me and understand the virtues of not grinding away all day to make somebody else rich, instead, let other people make you rich.
