I don't know shit about foraging and farming, but I'm pretty sure they think it's some cutesy little aesthetic romp through the woods and orchard and not backbreaking effort to make sure you and your family don't starve.
Actually, they might die pretty quickly from eating what looked like a safe, white mushroom, only for it to be the aptly named destroying angel.
I wouldn't last a single day on a mushrooms only diet.
This is how you know they've never worked a hard day on their lives. They picture some sort of romantic idyll, in which people only have to do a bare minimum to live in luxury, and have endless summer days to laze about in sun-dappled woods. They have no idea how much labour is required just to stay afloat in a pre-agrarian, pre-industrial society.
Reminds me of that thread where a dude asked what their role is going to be after the revolution.
"Oh I'm going to be a party member!"
"Oh I'm going to make theories and lead discussions on them!"
 
Reading these retards fantasying about "le simple farmer life" reminded me of an anon in /pol/ a few years back that was sperging about founding a white ethno state and when one anon questioned him with something among the lines of "do you even know how to farm, hunt or even sew your own shirts?" only for ethnostate anon to reply "No, but its incredibly easy to do, the jews have successfully tricked you into thinking any of that is difficult"

We've come back around to 17th century French aristocrats pining over the virtues of the simple peasant life without realising they'd have to give up everything they enjoy to live such a life.
 
While the site was down I browsed this subreddit filled with feds, layabouts, and overpaid morons. Here is the fruit of my search:

taking personality quizes makes me overwhelmed and cry.jpg


This might not have gotten any upvotes, but similarly whiny people get upvoted to the stratosphere they relate their struggle of their boss telling them to quit fucking around and work, and it causes them to cry in their car for 2 hours after work.

smoking weed earned me 300% more money 100% true.jpg


This is a classic /antiwork post. There's the whiners, but there's also the extremely cossetted first worlders who come to the sub to brag about how great their lives are. This is almost certainly a troll, but it's embarrassing that a radical subreddit thinks it's a win when some bugman stoner gets a work from home job.

i make $345 an hour working from home and you can too.jpg


Here's another example of the duality of shitlords that infest this subreddit. You have the low-earners who apply for 600 demanding, stressful jobs where they will be treated badly and hear nothing back. And you have the smug guys who fall dick first into a position most people would envy, then come to brag about it to the wagecucks lower on the totem pole.

just self help at this point.jpg


Speaking of braggers, here's some insufferable prick who read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" then landed some mythical job that requires 20 hours a week and pays 6 figures. I doubt such a job exists, but who knows? One thing is for sure: this guy sounds like a smarmy asshole.

work so you dont starve.jpg


You work so you don't go homeless and starve. But I guess 'giving up' and 'antiwork' are synonymous, so carry on.

the best for last.jpg


I saved the best for last. This brave redditor got 45 people to walk out of a 3 different Lowe's locations because a boss said something bad about gay people. Yup, in this economy, the lowest paid workers up and said, "You know what? I'm going to throw away my livelihood because someone in a different store said something homophobic!" This totally happened you guys!

But here's the kicker: A different account posted this exact same story onto the /antiwork subreddit a few weeks back. Except that first one (posted by u/War-Queen-Xivu-Arath) was deleted because he was in fact the heroic boss that stood up to the homophone and was fired because of it. And the moderators locked and deleted his post because "no employers." I guess bosses are employers? Interestingly, when a redditor pointed this out, Melkor-The-Mighty said, "yeah, that was my good boss, not my alt." and the jannies deleted the archived link to the first thread. It's suspicious as fuck. But the best part is that both War-Queen-Xivu-Arath and Melkor-the-Mighty post on the /Destinythegame subreddit. What a coincidence! Two people who work at the same store, post on the same subreddit using the same manner of speech, saying the same story! But this is totally an organic movement you guys!

I really want them to try starting up their own anarcho-communist-primitivist-Kaczynskite-whatever commune, maybe in the Nevada desert. Think about it: it would be the world's greatest reality show. We could laugh at the absolute meltdowns they'd have when they realize that they have to kill animals (because they have no idea berries and apples alone can't sustain a human being), or at them killing eachother over the commune's last dose of stale weed. The best part of it would be trying to guess who's going to be the next person to be "eliminated" by mountain lions, coyotes or heatstroke while foraging for tumbleweeds. It would be riveting, but will never happen because these people lack even the balls to try such a thing (:_(

It would probably turn out like the Tranch where the entire commune floats on e-begging and tugboats.

He might sound like a smarmy ass but I can bet you some of this advice is stuff the people on the subreddit would never take, particularly about being friendly, not trying to be 'right' or fixing the company. Being friendly and brown nosing is how you climb the ranks in a company and get out of the shitty starting positions.
 
This is the place for lard-asses to convene. Like okay, Amazon has bad work practices. Everyone knows that. You may have bad experience with a toxic HR. The law and karma will often strike back. But the posts where they're like "oh god damn it I'm forced to work for 1 hour extra a day and my fragile little twink body can't take any more manual labor SADGE! communism good amirite fellow redditors??" and "oh man my boss just told me to work on a Saturday / fill in for an ill colleague man I can't do it I have to play some vidya, jerk off to animay booba, and post this rn rq so I can gain internet points, I'm so mad bro" just make me lose hope on civilization as a whole. Don't get me started on posters that so fucking obviously fake their troubles and try to ignite the crowd even more.

From what I heard, this actually happened with the Black Hammer folks; except that they couldn't navigate the red tape of land development instead of Mother Nature doing them in.

Because communist/marxist brainwashing is soooooo much better!
1665875475434.png

This is giving me wartime flashbacks to the tumblr shoplifting fandom that was big in the mid to late 2010's. Getting employees fired when there's too much shrink or making them lose their jobs if the store has to close is really sticking it to the eeeeevil bosses!

This sounds like a kleptomaniac trying to trick store workers into letting them steal by framing it as an act of pro worker solidarity.

Imagine being so poor you have to resort to stealing and hawking funkopops to survive. That’s what homeless people and drug addicts do. These people are worth less to society than a meth-mouthed street bum and they really think that their world-changing opinions are worthy of consideration. If I saw one of them writhing around on the sidewalk and foaming from the mouth, I would step over them and keep walking. Calling an ambulance would be a waste of community resources.

mfw your knowledge of human nature comes from cottagecore hipster posting on tumblr and terminally online ACAB profiles
 
I assume it would also depend on each individual office and what they do.

Source: the family business was an HVAC contracting business and a heating oil delivery business. Food customers are nothing compared to a customer who runs out of heating oil, calls for it at 4:00 in the afternoon yet wants it today, and hasn’t paid off their previous bills in a year. Especially when all your other coworkers are on the phones with other customers and there’s three more phone calls on the queue as soon as one of you hangs up
How do they even get oil for a year without payment? Where does the next payment for you come from.
