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

I've seen people like these take a screencap of a man excited for the extra money he's going to get from his overtime hours, and then claim that he's some drone succumbing to the machine for daring to be happy about earning extra money. Over voluntary. Paid. Overtime.
I don't get it at all. I understand complaints about uncompensated overtime, but if you're willingly taking overtime hours and getting 1.5x or 2x pay for it, then where's the fucking problem?

I think people are forgetting that this sub doesn't exist because of some righteous crusade against unfair modern employment, but because they are lazy entitled commies that want to be paid to sit around, smoke weed, and maybe make "art." The very idea of putting in more than is necessary for one's personal benefit is antithetical to their beliefs, as they already hate the potential of having to work a part-time low-skill job for some extra spending money.

They're also probably from upper middle class families who don't know that mandatory overtime and hazard pay is how working class people fuck over the man and get theirs. White collar workers working overtime are wagies in their cagie, because on a salaried white collar job you don't (usually) get to force your employer to pay you time and a half.

Yeah I'm sure it was discrimination and not their narcassism or retardedness that made them unemployed!

I'm going to say right now that I don't think these survey numbers are telling the whole story, namely the employment one. I get that work is hard, but they should really elaborate on what work they are doing, because a full-time professional is vastly different than a full-time entry-level worker, and I'm wagering that this sub is composed primarily of the latter. They're mad that they have to work for a living rather than get everything handed to them on a silver platter, or more accurately that their easily-replaceable work doesn't give them a life of luxury and so they want to shift their costs of living to those whose work is not as easily replaced.

The political affiliation section of that survey is straight up nonsensical. It runs under the explicit assumption that anyone posting on the subreddit is left leaning. Even if you want declare the subreddit a social democrat sub or whatever, you need to leave options like neoliberal, neoconservative, and what-not as options. Additionally, I disagree with throwing up a concept as generic as socialism, conservative, or centrist up as an option. It claims >30% of the vote but you'd be hard pressed to get two socialists to agree on an ideology (does the ccp count as socialist?). Furthermore, what about overlap between listings? You have many conservative socialists in South America and the progressive liberal capitalists that are turning the screw on the working class. You might as well put up capitalism while you're being so vague for all this shit survey is worth.

We should also point and laugh at their admiration of jannies.

I've never really looked at this sub, but this post was in r/all .

How many of these people in this sub would actually get up at 5am and put in 4-5hours of manual labor every day ?

More than that, you expect me to believe this one claim that getting up super-early suddenly meant that no work had to be done in the afternoon? If that was the case, then somebody should've told every pre-industrial farmer that they were simply inefficient fools for working sunrise to sunset!

 

[Catch The Rainbow]

My favorite post on the subreddit was one declaring that if you quit your job because you didn't want to take the vaccine then you're not really antiwork and you should have kept your job. People quitting their jobs bc they just felt like it is alright but apparently being cautious is going too far. Don't have the link unfortunately but had a good laugh.

This is entirely retarded. The Hawaiians were considered extremely industrious by the missionaries because they worked hard all day, in contrast to other Pacific Islanders and even the city-dwelling English they were familiar with. Some of them had to be convinced by their friends and family to stop working on Sundays to have a rest for church.

Almost every missionary travelogue reported how industrious and intelligent the Hawaiians seemed to be, and the Methodists were incredibly proud of having found a society that seemed so amenable to their "modern" Christian values.

Also lets say its true that the Hawiians did stop work at around noon; its fairly warm and humid in Hawaii, and working till you die of heat stroke is a good way of promoting rapid cultural change till the culture doesn't do that. After all "Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun."

What I mentioned isn't even the worst part about that post.

Surfing was an ali'i pastime. It was something almost exclusively pursued by chiefs and their families, not your average Hawaiian taro farmer. So they wouldn't have "taken a break to surf" because they wouldn't have surfed at all.

You silly-billy! Those are just Hawaiian plebs. Plebs aren't people you big dummy dumb. The only people who matter are the higher classes of any given society.

I'd bet money a lot of them are also from middle-class families and pursued a worthless college major, and now that they have a useless degree and no useful skills, they're finding out the hard way that the only jobs that will take them are the entry-level ones.

So, wannabe artisans thinking the world owes them a living? Seems to be the recurring theme in all the sub's big posts.

I hate the retarded Neet delusion that work is a sort of modern day slavery. Literally everyone in human history has had to work. Even the le ebil capitalists they love to hate have to work long grueling hours just to maintain their place at the top of the food chain.

I'm all for workers rights. I'm not down for pretentious reddit manchildren who don't want to accept adult responsibilities. The whole sub is Peter Pan syndrome personified

We’ve gotten to the point where people think Futurama is this philosophical show that attracts NEETs for not doing anything with their life instead of just being a “quite average” NEET.
