touch foxglove NOW Every social movement is comprised of two elements: the aspiration (what you want from the world) and the construction (how society must be structured in order for everyone to have the capability to have the aspiration). For instance, in the American revolution, the aspiration was freedom, and the construction was the Constitution.
r/antiwork was originally a subreddit of people that just had the aspiration of not working. As it got larger, and zoomers joined, there was pressure to make it into a social movement. The problem is that no one could create a construction that would attain the goal of "nobody works", so Marxism took over. The problem is that Marxism is a very pro-work ideology.
The problem is that to be alive requires effort. Even when not moving, your body is metabolizing, your heart is pumping, your lungs are breathing. All of this requires energy. The only human that does not constantly expend energy is a dead one. Therefore, if one person is lazy, they must exist as parasites on the non-lazy. (This is the antiwork aspiration). But if everyone is lazy, where does the food come from?
r/antiwork would be better off if it stopped trying to be a social movement and simply adgknowledged what we all already know: work sucks.

I actually enjoy working, but that's probably because I work in labor and just get to talk with my fellow coworkers while working

I work in construction, mostly road maintenance. I've been working the same job for so long that it actually pays well.
It feels good to actually do something and have real world physical results while chatting with the boys.
I'm glad I was too dumb/poor to go to college. I would have ended up being a programmer, ordering uber eats daily and posting on anti-work.

Yeah unironicly zoomers are so fricked as a generation, a good chunk of them can't function without airpods or checking their phone. They also have no idea how to talk to people with high authority and assume other people can just pick up their slack. The internet has had really bad consequences on the labor force
As someone who has to manage them and is responsible for the final product I just can't help but be frustrated all the time at them.

I'm glad the only zoomers I have to deal with are temps that we get during the summer from school job lotteries. Most of the guys I work with are my age or older.
I used to be able to get my temps to do pretty much any work, but I can really only trust this recent batch of Zoomers to hold the signs to direct traffic and they still frick that up. Many of them leave after a few shifts complaining its too boring.

Lol being bored is a common complaint I hear to, it's like these people were raised without ever have to do chores or something they didn't want to

They're all so weak too. Some complain their arms are tired/sore while holding the stop signs. Many of them struggle to lift the shovels and pour fill into pot holes.

We need to force zoomers to mow lawns and dig holes for money, that's how I made money when I was a kid

Latinx do it cheaper, more skillfully and don't complain, so there's no reason to hire fat entitled mayos over them.
