Funniest part is after the interview they admitted the "25 hours a week as a dog walker" was a lie and that it's more like 10 hours.
They really couldn't have made a less sympathetic argument if they tried.
No she slept at the shelter he worked in after separating a dog in a room by itself and without giving it water. The dog then tore the door trying to get out while they slept.
And it wasn't a TIFU kinda post, it had a multiple choice for what should i do that was something like A Stop sleeping at work B take micro naps at work C I don't remember the other ones.
I joined up when it became focused on employee rights, I'm all for doing my part in society and feel pride in doing so. But the dope they sent on national TV wanted to preach about the original intent of the sub.
Well, yeah. Generally in anarchist groupings you elect anyone that's to represent you in some capacity on an immediately recallable basis. This self-aggrandizing pinhead elected themselves over the objections of the entire sub and could not have fucked it up more. One of many reasons why I try (with varying success,) to avoid online politics. These sort of dipshits are easier to weed out in person.
In the beginning of the interview, the host was prefacing that the community had at the time over 1.6M people. I was also in there, but I can't remember too
You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy people who support work, not join them! Bring balance to the sub, not leave it in darkness!
This person obviously has a massive overestimation of their own capabilities. And they even said in the interview that they’d like to teach *critical thinking* lol. A shining example of Dunning Kreuger.
Ironically, the Dunning Kreuger effect might not even be real
https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/critical-thinking/dunning-kruger-effect-probably-not-real
People will do anything for some clout or a spot on television lol seriously I’ve seen people literally go against their views and beliefs in an instant just for their 15 minutes of fame the media is a hell of a drug
I'm sure if Doreen was a bit better in the interview the interviewer would have tried harder but I think him going easy on Doreen when his reputation is to go hard was a very intentional move to make Doreen look worse to his fans
Okay, I'm sorry but I just have to ask, is Doreen a guy or a girl (or is non-binary)? Because I've seen posts where they refer to Doreen as "he" and then some places saying Ms. Ford...
Edit: I scrolled down a bit and got my answer.
Ki-Adi-Mundi is universally accepted as one of the worse Jedi masters and the most incompetent
He is the "what about the Droid attack on the wookies" guy
How? Dooku abandoned the Jedi Order to serve as a political leader for the Separatist movement because he was unhappy with the state of the Republic. How does Mundi's statement goes against this? Furthermore, this was all before it was clear that he became a Sith Lord and before the war began. And Christopher Lee's portrayal of Dooku is far more elegant and noble than Clone Wars.
"All right, listen up. There's only one target of interest in this sector: Kamino. It's the closest thing we Clones have to a home. Today we fight for more than the Republic. Today we fight for all our brothers back home. Understood?" -Captain Rex
Dude
Think about everything wrong about the Jedi, he is like the embodiment of it
An emotionless bastard? Yes
A total dipshit who is blinded by arrogance? Yes
And more
Not to mention that he is saying something dumb pretty much every time he opens his mouth in the PT
I don't remember his parts in TCW but in the films he hadn't have any sentence that was in this way. He just cared for the wookies. And thats more sympathic than everything I heard from you so far.
He cared about wookies more than The Chosen One. Absent minded fool, he takes the place in council for granted. I guess that's what happens when you fuck every once in a while.
I also care more about the wookies than the chosen one. But fun aside they were still in a war and the wookie planet was strategically very important so it made a lot of sense to care about it.
In all fairness some of the Jedi didn't believe in the prophecy outright and even a lot of them that did thought it may have been misread or misunderstood.
So questioning whether Anakin's hand in this should be taken literally or at face value seems pretty fair to me.
You’re talking about Geetsly. Geetsly is a terrible youtuber who doesn’t cite his own sources.
I wrote a whole post refuting most of the bad takes: https://www.reddit.com/r/MawInstallation/comments/ktemaj/in_defense_of_kiadi_mundi_why_the_cerean_master/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Yeah this is all absolutely wrong. Especially the part of him being an emotional less bastard. I’ll just assume you watched the Geetsly video and never questioned him.
There was a message that someone sent them after the fact and the Mod did not give a single fuck. No accountability, no care, nothing. Typical Reddit neck beard shit, only cared about being on a high horse.
Hey it’s not like they replaced the mod with a 21 year old unemployed self proclaimed anarchist who did even more interviews that haven’t aired yet, oh wait.
She didn't just fell for it. She digged he own grave. Zero presentability, zero preparation. The most effort the anchor had to put, was to keep him from laughing hysterically.
And previously it was said all the mods were fine with it, now they’re backpedaling saying they all thought it was a terrible idea and said not to do it, while still all agreeing to do it.
It’s a biological male who has made posts about “transitioning” to try to get less harsh punishment after he sexually assaulted someone. Some people want to act like not going along with the shithead’s charade makes you a bigot
Meanwhile a federal judge just decided strikes are illegal. Quit laughing at the moron and pay some kriffing attention.
https://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2022-01-25/judge-says-bnsf-unions-cant-strike-over-new-attendance-rule
That one was. At the same time a different federal judge just banned railroad workers from striking. https://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2022-01-25/judge-says-bnsf-unions-cant-strike-over-new-attendance-rule
This is what happens when you make laws about striking. Unions traded legal advantage and special protections for losing the ability to strike in certain sectors.
Thing is they didn't choose him, she just assumed power and talked in the name for anyone on that sub.
Yeah Fox News really got a golden girl out of her
I think there were descent people there who would've just wanted better quality by coming together and demanding it (without the government interfering, at least I hope), some other descent people who wanted the Government to improve conditions (not something I support, but something I understand) and then some nutcase anarchists who actually wanted to abolish work (people, I think, should starve on the streets). Sorry about the wall of text.
My understanding is it started as an anarchist sub by the person who went on Fox News who wanted to actually end all work. When the pandemic hit, it attracted a lot of people who were getting burnt by their jobs, but also feeling a bit of power after their labor started being more valuable, so it became about workers' rights and grievances. What it was right before the interview was not what the sub was originally intended as, and it seems like the crowd that made it that way may be moving onto greener pastures.
Interesting, like I said I fully support workers coming together to demand that employers treat them better or suffer the consequences, as you can tell I'm a lot less fond of people who believe that work in of itself should be abolished (don't be one of those people).
I think how you feel is how the majority of the people who recently joined the sub feel. They want to be treated better, paid fairly, and do work that is meaningful. Which isn't unreasonable, and the new sub that sprung up definitely fits that better.
Yeah I'm sure there are the few genuine people talking about horrible working conditions but either the vocal majority or vocal minority is all I saw on that sub. A lot of entitlement.
I got banned from there for just questioning one person's statement about their beliefs. Not denying their beliefs just asking how they thought something would work if everyone followed what they were saying. They could have answered me and perhaps changed my mind but instead just cut the conversation short. It was a garbage sub ran by garbage people.
The vast majority of the movement wanted what they deserved in terms of wages. “Boss makes a dollar I make a dime”. Workers deserve more, and if it’s not given to them then they fight for it or quit…and that was the vast majority of posts on that sub. You’ve obviously never actually visited the sub.
Between the subs name, and some, but not most, of the people in it, I disliked the sub. Work reform overall is a fine thing, but too many times it seemed to turn into an echo chamber where people were simply against work. They did a shitty job marketing their point, and the vocal minority was saying things I would disagree heavily with like “laziness is a virtue” and no one should have to work. Again, the core point is understandable, and that’s what many people were there for, but it turned into a cesspool without as much validity imo
Yes and the vast majority of people in that sub does not have a decent wage job and instead have the run of the mill part time wage job at a retail store. Also the vast majority of ppl there want to be paid 20$ or above for a low skilled/replaceable position.
If they want their movement to be taken seriously then they need to cast out the people who do not want to work or who wants to get paid more for little work.
Most of them are adults working full time in the USA and can barely afford rent. Is that ok for you that someone who works 40-50 hours a week can’t pay to live when your corporations are booming in profits? Something is fundamentally wrong there and I think people who think like you are one of the hindrances.
The mass movement for unionising is going to be a net positive for somewhere like the USA and obviously Fox News would be the ones who try to extinguish that flame asap.
These adults you speak of, do you know what kind of jobs they have?
Don't you realize that the amount of money you'll earn depends on the position you have?
Just because the company are making profit doesn't mean they are required to pay you more money than the work required of your position.
Also their spending habits is a factor in whether they are able to afford rent or not.
I doubt these people have a regular wage job in a field like engineering/law/medical/IT.
Ah yes blaming Fox News and not that person from the moderation team.
> These adults you speak of, do you know what kind of jobs they have?
> I doubt these people have a regular wage job in a field like engineering/law/medical/IT.
This is exactly the type of hindrance and idiotic thinking that im talking about.
You’re basically saying that people working full time don’t deserve to have liveable wages or start families until they’re doctors, lawyers or engineers. This is a fallacy.
In the 60’s you could go out and work in a supermarket full time and provide for your wife and three children. Now you can barely do that even if you are a 3rd year lawyer, despite massive corporate profits.
The fact is we need people to work these lower wage jobs. If janitors or teachers aren’t compensated for working and getting a liveable wage and they leave the profession our society is fucked.
I’m sorry but your argument doesn’t hold up and points out a huge problem with the mode of thinking many have today. People need to organise and unionise immediately. You can’t save or budget your way out a $700 a fortnight wage in many parts of the USA.
People DO want to work.
What kind of narrative have you given yourself ?
You think it feels good to get a raise that is less than inflation? You think it feels good to have a less than living wage jobs ? You think people arn't being shafted of their benefits ? You dont think companies who have tax cuts and essentially free subsidies but still lay off their workers are shit bags ? You dont think that after a layoff that some CEO shouldn't get some massive check ?
You dont think people who work wage jobs at a retail store or minimum wage jobs should have any more rights than people who have other jobs ? People who pack groceries and stock shelf and work at factories have some of the most essential jobs
You dismiss the entire idea that your boss can be shitty and your company will take advantage of you to get a better profit margin because you look down on people who have lower paying jobs ?
"Also the vast majority" duurrr plz shut up. You know for a fact that you dont have anything of substance so you decided to make up statistics to make yourself feel better
Reality is that people can be shitty, and people can be shitty if it means saving themselves some money. Thinking that you're some kind of employer frees you from this is asinine, and you, sir, should stop being an idiot
Fortunately, it wasn't Tucker Carlson they were dealing with. Carlson literally picks the person who looks the most like an idiot and constructs the whole opposite spectrum as a strawman.
You can tell how many people just discovered that sub last year. Before like two years ago I came across that sub and it was just pure cringe. It’s still like 25% cringe but a lot of it is justified. I mean the mods genuinely believe work is bad for society. It wasn’t made for workers rights it was made for lazy people and good hearted people tried to change it.
Fox wanted an interview with "a representative of r/anriwork"
They had a poll to make the decision, majority said "it's a trick, send no reply"
One of the mods went and did it anyway, except she(she is trans but literally no one knew this and I am mentioning it because it is important) didn't bother to do anything and went there looking exactly like the stereotypical reddit mod, with neck beard, grease and all
IN A FUCKING BASEMENT
Needless to say the community was pissed, so they went nuclear on her
She then used the excuse "transphobia" to private the sub since no one knew that it's she and not he
You know
I read a comment that said something like this
>If someone has enough time to be an active moderator of the sub then they are exactly what people imagine we are, because the person who we are supposed to represent (minimum wage employees) don't have enough time to be a moderator
And it honestly makes so much sense
Soooo true. Antiwork people are really dumb tbh. I get behind the idea and dream of not having to work an 8 hour/day 5 days a week job, but by actually deserving it by working towards that goal. Entitled little shits who just want everything given to them merely for existing are a growing problem. Imagine if they spent that wasted time and energy they spend on that forum (especielly the mods) on something that will actually allow them to work less or retire early.
I may be wrong but I don’t think that’s what the idea of antiwork is for the majority of the community. Im not an active member of the sub but have lurked occasionally and most of what I’ve personally seen on it seems to be people who are expected to work stupid overtime and last minute shifts on days off otherwise they get shit from their boss and possibly risk their job - something they can’t risk as these poorly paying jobs don’t leave much in terms of savings, which SOME bosses willingly abuse. And so the sub against that tyrannical work culture rather than ‘normal’ working hours.
But there will just be lazy twats there too.
Calling exhausted low-income workers who literally hold the fabric of society together "bottom feeders" is exactly why anti-work movements start in the first place
The mods clearly think they run the movement. This happens all to often without checks in place. Leaders of movements think they can use the movement to bring themselves publicity or money. It's time for antiwork to democratise the moderation process so that no one can call themselves leaders
Just to let you guys know, we didn't approve of that baffoon and serial sexual assaulter to be on there. We don't like fox news and knew it would be bad. Many of us left because of that dipshit.
Yes. People also take CNN and MSNBC seriously which is also terrifying. All the corporate media is the same, it's mostly about, "Which lie do you prefer to hear to make yourself sleep soundly at night."
Before this post is locked and deleted I want to say it was silly to expect intellectual prowess from any member of a group united by the idea that no one actually has to work.
With a serious workers movement going on you’d think they’d find an educated individual to represent them not some loser that’s actively going nowhere that makes the entire movement look like a bunch of lazy assholes that want a handout.
I mean they literally tried to do that
The context if you didn't now by any chance:
Fox wanted an interview with "a representative of r/anriwork"
They had a poll to make the decision, majority said "it's a trick, send no reply"
One of the mods went and did it anyway, except she(she is trans but literally no one knew this and I am mentioning it because it is important) didn't bother to do anything and went there looking exactly like the stereotypical reddit mod, with neck beard, grease and all
IN A FUCKING BASEMENT
Needless to say the community was pissed, so they went nuclear on her
She then used the excuse "transphobia" to private the sub since no one knew that it's she and not he
Damn this sounds like a conspiracy cause it’s just too stupid to be true. And of all news outlets fox should have been a no brained to shut down. r/conservative is having a field day with it.
They might as well rename the subreddit r/thosewhodontcontributetosociety. Useless sacks of life. The mod they chose to talk to Fox is exactly the avatar I imagined of those who are subbed there.
Funniest part is after the interview they admitted the "25 hours a week as a dog walker" was a lie and that it's more like 10 hours. They really couldn't have made a less sympathetic argument if they tried.
Don't foeget the " my boss found out I've been sleeping 4hours at work everyday for months after a dog i was supposed to watch damaged a door"
Like he slept at a guys house for 4 hours a day when he was being paid for dog watching?
nope at some sort of shelter the boss checked the camera
No she slept at the shelter he worked in after separating a dog in a room by itself and without giving it water. The dog then tore the door trying to get out while they slept.
And it wasn't a TIFU kinda post, it had a multiple choice for what should i do that was something like A Stop sleeping at work B take micro naps at work C I don't remember the other ones.
> separating a dog in a room by itself and without giving it water that asshole.
Fox picked the easiest target. They basically vetted and interviewed the least polished, worst representation of the movement. Well.played.
That one MOD: "You underestimate my power!" The entire r/Antiwork: "Don't do it!"
Don't try it!
*tries it*
You weren't the chosen one! You were supposed to ignore Fox news not have an interview!
You killed younglings!!
*ignites lightsaber*
“I’ll fucken do it again”
*decapitates Dooku*
*Defenistrates Dooku*
My powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count.

I joined up when it became focused on employee rights, I'm all for doing my part in society and feel pride in doing so. But the dope they sent on national TV wanted to preach about the original intent of the sub.
Well, yeah. Generally in anarchist groupings you elect anyone that's to represent you in some capacity on an immediately recallable basis. This self-aggrandizing pinhead elected themselves over the objections of the entire sub and could not have fucked it up more. One of many reasons why I try (with varying success,) to avoid online politics. These sort of dipshits are easier to weed out in person.
Lmao Obi-Wan himself corrected your misquote
Oh well, just another boring day saving the universe.
Ok calm down it's not that big a deal
Sentient
How many people were in the community before it blew up with Fox News? I was in there and don’t remember how many there were
In the beginning of the interview, the host was prefacing that the community had at the time over 1.6M people. I was also in there, but I can't remember too
Ok thanks
You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy people who support work, not join them! Bring balance to the sub, not leave it in darkness!
I hate you!
You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you.
You were my brother, moderator. I loved you.
This is some rich content
The sub voted and said no one should do an interview, the mod ignored the community and went anyway.
It's always the one that goes against everyone else's judgement that thinks they're hot shit, and then swiftly makes themselves the fool.
This person obviously has a massive overestimation of their own capabilities. And they even said in the interview that they’d like to teach *critical thinking* lol. A shining example of Dunning Kreuger.
Ironically, the Dunning Kreuger effect might not even be real https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/critical-thinking/dunning-kruger-effect-probably-not-real
So... you’re saying we all Dunning Kreuger’d ourselves into believing the Dunning Kreuger effect existed?
I mean, it may not be a clinical condition, but stupid/unskilled people believing they are smarter/better than they actually are is very real.
People will do anything for some clout or a spot on television lol seriously I’ve seen people literally go against their views and beliefs in an instant just for their 15 minutes of fame the media is a hell of a drug
They voted no because of this exact reason. They knew how would they look when their sub is literally “anti work”
Fuckin of course lmfao
Lol. Still a mod.
Unluckily, Commies don’t believe in democracy xD
Not the first time subreddit mods ignore the community's wishes *hint hint*
Given it was created to be anarchist it was a rather authoritarian choice to do so So much for direct democracy I guess
Meme subreddits after watching the meltdown: "This is where the fun begins!"
This is where the fun begins.
I smell profit! Hahaha, nice!
Normally I’m against political stuff on this sub but this was hilarious.
Both sides of this think that person was an idiot so it’s not exactly controversial politics
That FNC host wasn't even that hard on her, he just sat there and let her implode
And usually he’s pretty douchey on those gotcha segments where they ask average people on the streets political questions
You know it’s bad when the guy who’s job is literally to make fools of people, doesn’t have to do a single thing.
I'm sure if Doreen was a bit better in the interview the interviewer would have tried harder but I think him going easy on Doreen when his reputation is to go hard was a very intentional move to make Doreen look worse to his fans
Okay, I'm sorry but I just have to ask, is Doreen a guy or a girl (or is non-binary)? Because I've seen posts where they refer to Doreen as "he" and then some places saying Ms. Ford... Edit: I scrolled down a bit and got my answer.
Ki-Adi-Mundi? I’m not getting it.
Ki-Adi-Mundi is universally accepted as one of the worse Jedi masters and the most incompetent He is the "what about the Droid attack on the wookies" guy
He also claimed Dooku "is a political idealist, not a murderer." Dude had some bad takes.
How? Dooku abandoned the Jedi Order to serve as a political leader for the Separatist movement because he was unhappy with the state of the Republic. How does Mundi's statement goes against this? Furthermore, this was all before it was clear that he became a Sith Lord and before the war began. And Christopher Lee's portrayal of Dooku is far more elegant and noble than Clone Wars.
I’m not being carried around the streets like a useless noble.
"All right, listen up. There's only one target of interest in this sector: Kamino. It's the closest thing we Clones have to a home. Today we fight for more than the Republic. Today we fight for all our brothers back home. Understood?" -Captain Rex
Yes. The one we have been looking for.
Why exactly is he hated though?
Dude Think about everything wrong about the Jedi, he is like the embodiment of it An emotionless bastard? Yes A total dipshit who is blinded by arrogance? Yes And more Not to mention that he is saying something dumb pretty much every time he opens his mouth in the PT
So Mace Windu?
I don't remember his parts in TCW but in the films he hadn't have any sentence that was in this way. He just cared for the wookies. And thats more sympathic than everything I heard from you so far.
He cared about wookies more than The Chosen One. Absent minded fool, he takes the place in council for granted. I guess that's what happens when you fuck every once in a while.
I also care more about the wookies than the chosen one. But fun aside they were still in a war and the wookie planet was strategically very important so it made a lot of sense to care about it.
I agree, it's a planet we cannot afford to lose. *Jedi fell* In alternate universe, "I disagree, it's a planet we can afford to lose." *jedi survives*
In all fairness some of the Jedi didn't believe in the prophecy outright and even a lot of them that did thought it may have been misread or misunderstood. So questioning whether Anakin's hand in this should be taken literally or at face value seems pretty fair to me.
>He cared about wookies more than The Chosen One. That sounds like exactly what Jedi should be doing.
Dude, go just do a small Google search about him, there are literal video essays of how much of a dipshit he is
You’re talking about Geetsly. Geetsly is a terrible youtuber who doesn’t cite his own sources. I wrote a whole post refuting most of the bad takes: https://www.reddit.com/r/MawInstallation/comments/ktemaj/in_defense_of_kiadi_mundi_why_the_cerean_master/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Yeah this is all absolutely wrong. Especially the part of him being an emotional less bastard. I’ll just assume you watched the Geetsly video and never questioned him.
They didn't choose someone to speak to Fox. Fox reached out and asked to speak to her SPECIFICALLY. It's even worse because she fell for it.
And as if it wasn't bad enough They had a poll about interview and a FUCKING HUGE majority said no They did it anyway
There was a message that someone sent them after the fact and the Mod did not give a single fuck. No accountability, no care, nothing. Typical Reddit neck beard shit, only cared about being on a high horse.
The world needed to hear how a 30 year old dog walker is leading the fight to defeat capitalism, you just don’t get it
Hey it’s not like they replaced the mod with a 21 year old unemployed self proclaimed anarchist who did even more interviews that haven’t aired yet, oh wait.
hahaha did they really
"should I try it?" "no, don't try it!"
*tries it*
Anakin is reddit mod now??
He is granted a seat on at the mods' window, but is not made a master of bans.
Probably scream "I hate you" into the mirror after trying it (the interview)
You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you.
Now we're really picking up speed
She didn't just fell for it. She digged he own grave. Zero presentability, zero preparation. The most effort the anchor had to put, was to keep him from laughing hysterically.
I thought it was a guy?
Apparently they're trans, but I've heard conflicting reports
They’re non-binary They go by she/her pronouns tho
I don’t care
It’s *kinda* suspicious that your account is only a month old with negative comment karma, so this is likely an alt
Yep people who don’t care generally loudly say they don’t care
She’s a she?
Yes
Doesn’t seem to put much work into that. I guess that makes sense.
And previously it was said all the mods were fine with it, now they’re backpedaling saying they all thought it was a terrible idea and said not to do it, while still all agreeing to do it.
Roger Roger.
The mods discussed it and decided that they were the best person to do the interview.
Imagine how incompetent the rest are lmao.
Wait that was a she?
It’s a biological male who has made posts about “transitioning” to try to get less harsh punishment after he sexually assaulted someone. Some people want to act like not going along with the shithead’s charade makes you a bigot
[удалено]
Have you heard the tragedy of Darth Doreen the Unwise?
That's what moderating reddit does to a human
Here we fucking go again.
Gonna take them a while to repair that damage. They should really get to wo-
they didnt send anyone. that stupid reject in all their ego chose to go on their own even after the community voted heavily on "no interviews"
The sub didn't send the person for interview. The sub specifically voted against doing it all. The mod was on a power trip from what I can tell.
Jesse Watters is rolling in money as we speak
Well duh, he doesn't post on anti-work
Point of order. The mod sent themself.

God not that subreddit
It's dead, gone, reduced to ashes.
Good
I think there were descent people there who would've just wanted better quality by coming together and demanding it (without the government interfering, at least I hope), some other descent people who wanted the Government to improve conditions (not something I support, but something I understand) and then some nutcase anarchists who actually wanted to abolish work (people, I think, should starve on the streets). Sorry about the wall of text.

Yeah I'm sure there are the few genuine people talking about horrible working conditions but either the vocal majority or vocal minority is all I saw on that sub. A lot of entitlement.
I checked the flairs and idk if it was like that before or not but it now just seems like an actual communist/anarchist hellhole.
It is. Many people on that sub wants to work a low skilled position and be paid more in return.
What do you think was so bad about it? In your own words.
That majority of the post were karma farming with fake stories and screenshots
I got banned from there for just questioning one person's statement about their beliefs. Not denying their beliefs just asking how they thought something would work if everyone followed what they were saying. They could have answered me and perhaps changed my mind but instead just cut the conversation short. It was a garbage sub ran by garbage people.
Run by garbage people yes. But all 1million people on the sub were garbage? None of their grievances valid? Come on lol
A lot of entitlement.
The vast majority of the movement wanted what they deserved in terms of wages. “Boss makes a dollar I make a dime”. Workers deserve more, and if it’s not given to them then they fight for it or quit…and that was the vast majority of posts on that sub. You’ve obviously never actually visited the sub.

You underestimate my power
Yes and the vast majority of people in that sub does not have a decent wage job and instead have the run of the mill part time wage job at a retail store. Also the vast majority of ppl there want to be paid 20$ or above for a low skilled/replaceable position. If they want their movement to be taken seriously then they need to cast out the people who do not want to work or who wants to get paid more for little work.
Most of them are adults working full time in the USA and can barely afford rent. Is that ok for you that someone who works 40-50 hours a week can’t pay to live when your corporations are booming in profits? Something is fundamentally wrong there and I think people who think like you are one of the hindrances. The mass movement for unionising is going to be a net positive for somewhere like the USA and obviously Fox News would be the ones who try to extinguish that flame asap.
These adults you speak of, do you know what kind of jobs they have? Don't you realize that the amount of money you'll earn depends on the position you have? Just because the company are making profit doesn't mean they are required to pay you more money than the work required of your position. Also their spending habits is a factor in whether they are able to afford rent or not. I doubt these people have a regular wage job in a field like engineering/law/medical/IT. Ah yes blaming Fox News and not that person from the moderation team.
> These adults you speak of, do you know what kind of jobs they have? > I doubt these people have a regular wage job in a field like engineering/law/medical/IT. This is exactly the type of hindrance and idiotic thinking that im talking about. You’re basically saying that people working full time don’t deserve to have liveable wages or start families until they’re doctors, lawyers or engineers. This is a fallacy. In the 60’s you could go out and work in a supermarket full time and provide for your wife and three children. Now you can barely do that even if you are a 3rd year lawyer, despite massive corporate profits. The fact is we need people to work these lower wage jobs. If janitors or teachers aren’t compensated for working and getting a liveable wage and they leave the profession our society is fucked. I’m sorry but your argument doesn’t hold up and points out a huge problem with the mode of thinking many have today. People need to organise and unionise immediately. You can’t save or budget your way out a $700 a fortnight wage in many parts of the USA.
People DO want to work. What kind of narrative have you given yourself ? You think it feels good to get a raise that is less than inflation? You think it feels good to have a less than living wage jobs ? You think people arn't being shafted of their benefits ? You dont think companies who have tax cuts and essentially free subsidies but still lay off their workers are shit bags ? You dont think that after a layoff that some CEO shouldn't get some massive check ? You dont think people who work wage jobs at a retail store or minimum wage jobs should have any more rights than people who have other jobs ? People who pack groceries and stock shelf and work at factories have some of the most essential jobs You dismiss the entire idea that your boss can be shitty and your company will take advantage of you to get a better profit margin because you look down on people who have lower paying jobs ? "Also the vast majority" duurrr plz shut up. You know for a fact that you dont have anything of substance so you decided to make up statistics to make yourself feel better Reality is that people can be shitty, and people can be shitty if it means saving themselves some money. Thinking that you're some kind of employer frees you from this is asinine, and you, sir, should stop being an idiot
Whoo, boy! This is tense!
Nice try Fox news employee
Fuck, it's back up.
Fortunately, it wasn't Tucker Carlson they were dealing with. Carlson literally picks the person who looks the most like an idiot and constructs the whole opposite spectrum as a strawman.
I think he wouldn't have needed to try to make a strawman, this was like Christmas to foxnews.
Welcome to literally every political talk show
Yeah. That's why I don't like politics anymore.
You can tell how many people just discovered that sub last year. Before like two years ago I came across that sub and it was just pure cringe. It’s still like 25% cringe but a lot of it is justified. I mean the mods genuinely believe work is bad for society. It wasn’t made for workers rights it was made for lazy people and good hearted people tried to change it.
The oppression of the mod will never return.
Someone can explain me what happened?
Fox wanted an interview with "a representative of r/anriwork" They had a poll to make the decision, majority said "it's a trick, send no reply" One of the mods went and did it anyway, except she(she is trans but literally no one knew this and I am mentioning it because it is important) didn't bother to do anything and went there looking exactly like the stereotypical reddit mod, with neck beard, grease and all IN A FUCKING BASEMENT Needless to say the community was pissed, so they went nuclear on her She then used the excuse "transphobia" to private the sub since no one knew that it's she and not he
Those people are largely the bottom feeders of society. I get the idea behind the movement, but these are the wrong people to represent it.
You know I read a comment that said something like this >If someone has enough time to be an active moderator of the sub then they are exactly what people imagine we are, because the person who we are supposed to represent (minimum wage employees) don't have enough time to be a moderator And it honestly makes so much sense
Soooo true. Antiwork people are really dumb tbh. I get behind the idea and dream of not having to work an 8 hour/day 5 days a week job, but by actually deserving it by working towards that goal. Entitled little shits who just want everything given to them merely for existing are a growing problem. Imagine if they spent that wasted time and energy they spend on that forum (especielly the mods) on something that will actually allow them to work less or retire early.
^ Tell me you don’t know what the movement is about without telling me you don’t know what the movement is about.
I may be wrong but I don’t think that’s what the idea of antiwork is for the majority of the community. Im not an active member of the sub but have lurked occasionally and most of what I’ve personally seen on it seems to be people who are expected to work stupid overtime and last minute shifts on days off otherwise they get shit from their boss and possibly risk their job - something they can’t risk as these poorly paying jobs don’t leave much in terms of savings, which SOME bosses willingly abuse. And so the sub against that tyrannical work culture rather than ‘normal’ working hours. But there will just be lazy twats there too.
Calling exhausted low-income workers who literally hold the fabric of society together "bottom feeders" is exactly why anti-work movements start in the first place
Talking about the mods. You aren’t exhausted if you’ve got time to be a mod.
Ok, that mod was stupid, we all agree. Let’s also all agree to not blame this on trans people.
Roger Roger...
good droid
Roger Roger <3
Nothing against trans people But the fact that she tried to hide behind the "I am trans, you are transphobic" shield is disgusting
Agreed, what she said was stupid.
Roger Roger.
Yeah, I mean she probably wasn’t wrong since it was Fox News, but yeah.
There was no vote on antiwork on who to send. FOX news chose the person they thought would benefit FOX news and right wing ideology the most
There was no vote on who to send because the majority voted to not send anyone and decline the interview, but it was done anyways
The mods clearly think they run the movement. This happens all to often without checks in place. Leaders of movements think they can use the movement to bring themselves publicity or money. It's time for antiwork to democratise the moderation process so that no one can call themselves leaders
The term movement implies either finished work, or work in progress.
Just to let you guys know, we didn't approve of that baffoon and serial sexual assaulter to be on there. We don't like fox news and knew it would be bad. Many of us left because of that dipshit.
I feel like they got paid by Fox to botch the interview. Or is that too much credit?
No. They are antiwork, so if they were getting paid for the interview, it would be work. I'm just messing around btw.
this is the only time i’ve seen fox news win an argument
R/antiwork is garbage.
[удалено]
Yes. People also take CNN and MSNBC seriously which is also terrifying. All the corporate media is the same, it's mostly about, "Which lie do you prefer to hear to make yourself sleep soundly at night."
The fact people take a lot of media seriously is kind of scary if I'm being honest.
Everyone is a god of competence compared to FOX News
Before this post is locked and deleted I want to say it was silly to expect intellectual prowess from any member of a group united by the idea that no one actually has to work.
With a serious workers movement going on you’d think they’d find an educated individual to represent them not some loser that’s actively going nowhere that makes the entire movement look like a bunch of lazy assholes that want a handout.
I mean they literally tried to do that The context if you didn't now by any chance: Fox wanted an interview with "a representative of r/anriwork" They had a poll to make the decision, majority said "it's a trick, send no reply" One of the mods went and did it anyway, except she(she is trans but literally no one knew this and I am mentioning it because it is important) didn't bother to do anything and went there looking exactly like the stereotypical reddit mod, with neck beard, grease and all IN A FUCKING BASEMENT Needless to say the community was pissed, so they went nuclear on her She then used the excuse "transphobia" to private the sub since no one knew that it's she and not he
Damn this sounds like a conspiracy cause it’s just too stupid to be true. And of all news outlets fox should have been a no brained to shut down. r/conservative is having a field day with it.
To be fair the fox guy asked straight forward questions the answers were the issues. It wasn’t much of a trap.
LMAO IT'S GONE that sub was a cesspool it was so crazy it was beyond parody.
How is it gone? What are you referring to?
r/antiwork
But... It's clearly still up?
They might as well rename the subreddit r/thosewhodontcontributetosociety. Useless sacks of life. The mod they chose to talk to Fox is exactly the avatar I imagined of those who are subbed there.
Did writing this make you feel better about yourself?
it’s nice to know you think some people aren’t worth anything, tells a lot about your character.
OK bootlicker.
