r/antiwork - Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like.

[Jacob Schiff]

The stupid part is how much these retards alienate other people by playing their ridiculous status games on Twitter, people who should be their allies. But nooo, troonery and my self-actualization come first!

Honestly the complaints are mostly legitimate, they just have utterly retarded solutions. The solution to rampant corruption is not just printing more funny money so you can skip out on working. No, hoarding wealth is not some thing only white men do. The solution to rising wealth inequality is not just steal a bunch of shit from Walgreens.

Just don't act like the average American is more sensible and are not responsible for this.

It's no joke the European labour laws and working conditions are far superior to those of USA. Mostly because Europeans never had a bone with supporting unions or government laws restricting the hand of corporations.

Americans gave up on unions and government control and now you can only bicker about who has the worst solutions to your zero days of paid leave.

Bezos can sleep on his hoard all he wants. He is thr type of billionaire who is rich and wants to get richer. He is simple and predictable. The absolute worst is the Bill Gates kind who pushes all sorts of sketchy shit under the guise of his charity. He is the one of the billionaires to keep an wary eye on.

NOT actively fellating scummy billionaires just might be the easiest thing in the world.
And yet you fail.

The unique thing about this whole thing is that even with r/antiwork being the broken clock that is right twice a day, most of their solutions always involve around stealing and trashing other people’s work that they at least worked hard to get from working over.

Meanwhile, the ones with legitimate grievances are questioning why more of those same posters are acting like the revolutionaries that would end up destroying/stealing their stuff for airing out their issues with a subreddit like this.

There’s no doubt in my mind that when this movement started getting big the glowies intervened and asked Reddit admins to remove sympathetic mods and install idpol ideology to destroy it from within with self-sabotage and in-fighting. The same thing happened with Occupy Wall Street, it’s their go to tactic. There will never be a workers movement as long as idpol dominates the discussion.

There will never be any viable political movement at all while IdPol dominates the discussion. IdPol only cares about itself, and making you feel good.

Progressives root their politics in IdPol because it makes them feel good to retreat into their identity. It gives them a sense of belonging and purpose, along with relief from anxiety. But this also means that the outside world is seen as more hostile. IdPol therefore rejects any attempts at negotiation with those outside, because of their belief that dealing with others is psychologically harmful.

IdPol would much rather turn inward into the protection of the self based on the celebration of group identity. It is a politics of defeat and demoralization, of pessimism and selfishness. By seizing as much as possible for one's self and group, it exposes its complete disregard for the whole from which it has separated - for the rest of the society. IdPol thus rejects the search for a just and comprehensive solution to social problems.

Americans didn't give up on unions, it's just no union steward in the country is going to fight for someone who's incapable of working a job more respectable than something a teenager could be trained to do in about 20 minutes. These retards want to outsource their work onto the next guy but still get paid 100K a year and think HR departments are their friends when they were created for the express purpose of union busting.

You'd never catch any of these antiwork-types dead hanging power lines in the rain, sweating their asses off welding pipes, swinging around a geiger counter, or capable of interacting with people long enough without sperging to be a public servant.

The left, can't win with identity politics, can't win without it.

It's truly fucked.

r/antiwork was always going to be a joke. TPTB allow it to exist as a pressure release valve, because it helps cultivate despair, and because it gives people false hope while they're helping grow the surveillance-marketing complex. Redditors are bitch made. They will never be radicals no matter how many times they jerk off to Grimes reading the Communist Manifesto. Anyway, I've got more stuff by them:

Dude, like, what if we just made our own google?



Nah that would be too hard. Back to cooming in the basement and making their parents pay for everything:



Did you know r/antiwork has big important CEOs posting there? They 'produce academic articles' and use terms like "the post pandemic economy":



But those CEOs aren't all business!



Naturally, you need some nu males in there to help balance things out. (Warning: dangerous levels of soy)



And of course wherever you find soy boys, you'll also find e-girls farming simps! These ones have learned they don't even need to show their bodies to gain followers, they just need to say 'capitalism bad' from the McMansions that their mothers own:





Shit, even the average-looking women see meteoric rises here:





I guess you don't have to do much to impress the sort of people who think this is cool or accurate:



Even their mothers aren't impressed with them:



That's okay, the HR department can be their work mommy! For all their radical dogma, they're mollified by the stupidest shit that costs nothing to provide. "I see you, I hear you, now get back in the fucking cage, wagie!":



I guess that's better than the horror stories you see on this sub, which might as well feature mustache-twirling villains who tie people to train tracks:







It makes me smile that reddit pulled so fucking hard for Biden -- even the radicals on this forum probably voted for the guy or were glad that he won -- and all they get is mass layoffs and an economy in the shitter.



There's also this weird trend of people switching jobs and doubling or tripling their income. It strikes me as completely astroturfed. This post is long enough already so I won't include all the examples I've gathered, but be aware: "Just switch jobs" is shaping up to be the new "learn to code" or "go to trade school" as shallow advice given to everyone as a panacea to life's difficulties.

"go to trade school"

That last one is actually sound advice.

Far too many people are going to college when they have no business going there.

The result, predictably, has been a disaster for society.

Yeah, no. This is the guy who patented a cage to put employees in.

Anyone certified on HVAC shit can more or less write their own ticket. That's the kind of thing where nobody even cares if you're a convicted felon.

The only thing you need to do is survive the hazing process to journeyman for anything blue collar. Anyone here could do it; but imagine one of the antiwork types getting called a faggot on the job, going to tell on them to a supervisor, and getting "try being less of a faggot if you don't want to be called one" as a response.

They'll whine to their troon friends about it, just like that one article a while back whining why car mechanics are evil dudebros and promoting this one troon mechanic's queer auto body or whatever.

Strange that's the case ONLY in USA.

The HR departments that have existed since the turn of the century?

It's what I did. Welding pays, 20 bucks starting is common, and it let's you fix things around the house. Had a Garden hoe break when I was in High school, the trowl detaching from the head. A few welds later, boom, it's BETTER than new. That and you learn things about the other trades close to yours, like cars and machining.

One thing that interests me is that recently articles have been specifically naming Gen X instead of just boomers. Personally, I really enjoy that. I can't wait for people to finally realize that there aren't actually that many literal boomers in the workplace and the so-called boomers are part of the shit heap that is Gen X.

CS Lewis did say something about how robber barons are less tyrannical than moral busibodies because at least the robber barons are honest about the fact that they're greedy bastards who want to get richer (and will stop or slow down when their greed is satiated), whereas moral busibodies will never stop at oppressing and tormenting people because they feel righteous about it.

Definitely sums up why I consider any forms of communism (including anarcho-communism) to be far worse than corporate tyranny.

I saw a comparison of American slavery and Russian serfdom where it made the point that in American slavery masters paid more attention to their slaves wellbeing than Russian nobles did their serfs, but Russian serfs were the happier of the two because the nobles weren't obnoxiously micromanaging their lives.

Why would the government give a shit about a bunch of NEET shutins that don't vote?

Also, the subreddit has never had normal, sympathetic mods. From day one, it was slacktivism, advocated by unemployed, rich kids supported by their parents. The bickering and drama comes from normies joining the subreddit.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” CS Lewis​

It's the opposite, the mods were originally worthless communist NEETs like the dog-walker, then it got flooded by more reasonable people who misunderstood what the sub was about and got what they deserved for sane-washing the insane.

Regardless of what it was, it was getting popular quickly and our social engineers in government are terrified of grass roots movements that can disturb the status quo and affect their paycheck.
