Yes, even if the subreddit implodes antiwork is so much more than an internet hangout club.

It isn't American, or Fox related either. The world is bigger than that capitalist dystopia and their low quality "news".

I don’t understand why the mod was unable to bring up any of these talking points during the interview.
25
u/TruthToPower77 Jan 27 '22
Easy. He wasn’t prepared. Didn’t have any experience with interviews of this magnitude. Was flustered etc…..

its one thing to be unprepared and nervous, but how do you let someone sit there on national t.v mocking you while laughing in your face and do literally nothing about it?

u/NovelMetal7389 Jan 27 '22
Who goes to an interview without preparing? At the very least a few talking points! I guess that’s what happens when laziness is a virtue.

Ego. They made it about them. They should have never once spoken a word about themselves but instead acted as a pass through for all the grievances aired on this sub continually.
1
u/Bzzted Jan 27 '22
Mostly because they don’t care about work reform and just want to not work and live in comfort just like the new head mod
1
u/TurtleBerriess Jan 27 '22
Because they think nobody should work period.
I think people need to understand that the mods don’t care about any of the workers rights or anything of the sort - they think working should f be a thing.

The sub helps in the movement by providing information and transparency into what employers have traditionally kept locked up. You have to lift a few rocks to find the snakes.

u/Employee_Great Jan 28 '22
Lifting rocks….sounds like you want me to work. You corporate pig. Lift your own rocks!

u/JimmyPageification Jan 27 '22
It’s not just American. This is a global movement. That post thinks it’s being revolutionary yet it completely failed to understand the bigger picture. Ffs. Sorry to all of us non-Americans I guess.
Fcking patronising.

This.
If we were at all an intelligent bunch we'd pivot this moment so fucking hard to be even louder about why we're here. A spotlight has been put on this page and this is the moment to use it. If we go down shrieking and infighting about the nuances of what one person just did we're tanking ourselves.
Focus. Use this moment to the advantage of the movement.
edit: spelling

That's the idea. Get loud, get angry. We have had enough of this shit. Why wait until we literally are eating the rich?

The USA has the lowest unionization rate of the G7 nations. Corporations & capitalism have made unions into villans. Sad how people have been brainwashed into believing this.

We should make another sub, rly.

Work reform seems to be the place for these ideologies

u/AndrogynousHobo Jan 27 '22
Well we better create a system for vetting mods there if it’s gonna be the new place. What makes anyone think those mods are any more capable?

Has anyone considered yet that the mods are paid shills by corporate America to make this movement look dumb?

u/TruthToPower77 Jan 27 '22
Crossed my mind. A lot of other subs seem to have been invaded as well if there’s any truth to this.

u/pantsuitmafia Jan 28 '22
This sweaty turd was one of the sub foundrrs and believed every bit of it. Then went on to get some of their equally delusional friends to mod as well. The unshowered, their other greasy long haired UK friend as well as the 21 year old who has been unemployed long time all believe they shouldn't have to do a damn thing to exsist, including any sort of mandatory learning. These people are dangerous. Luckily their power is mainly in their own circles. Except for this instance.

We require all Reddit accounts to be at least 3 days old before posting. This is due to people being banned and immediately setting up new accounts. This message is not accusing you of doing that, but that is why the policy is in place.
In rare cases, if you have a particularly time-sensitive message, we may manually approve a message. Otherwise we encourage you to wait the 3 days (72 hours) and try again.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

u/Holyjellyfish Jan 27 '22
I believe thats where some people got wrong as well : country origin does not matter. I'm not American but still felt involved as this movement is inspiring everywhere. Not NOT working, but wanting basic rights and respect shouldn't be time and space restricted !

Damn right! Stay on message folks, they're trying to divide and distract. Keep strong, Union Strong! Universal Healthcare!

u/lyunker Jan 27 '22
I’m part of a union and we don’t have any PTO or sick. Fuck right to work states. We discuss increased wages and the contractors say no. Our brothers are depressed and we lose a brother to suicide every month. Yet our local doesn’t do anything about wages, pto, sick, or incentives.
2
u/oddiseeus Jan 27 '22
I am not part of the union. To me, it sounds like you’re not a part of a union either. To me it sounds like you are a part of a pyramid scheme where the people at the top just take your shoes and live high on the hog.

The real movement against the current system of work is called socialism/communism, though some here are still too steeped in liberalism and/or aren't familiar enough with leftist ideas to realize that just yet. I was there too not all that long ago.
I don't think people should leave this sub by any means, but you all are more than welcome to come stop by www.hexbear.net if you have any questions about the left you would like to explore and ask about. It's a good site with lots of good people.
Better yet, if you find that you agree with leftist ideas, as I think most people on this subreddit would, join an org like the DSA, IWW, PSL, or many others.

For sure! We can’t let that interview reunion the momentum that this sub helped generate. The exposure of employees being mistreated helps others know that they are not alone and provides the courage to act collectively to help improve working conditions! Let’s keep this going!

It’s called antiwork. What did you expect? Why would you call/follow/promote a movement called antiwork when that’s not what you want it to mean? Am I crazy or is this just the dumbest shit I’ve seen since “BLM” and “Defund the Police” slogans?

u/Jean-Baptiste-E-Zorg Jan 27 '22
I prefer work reform, start marketing and speaking in terms of reform. Anti work looks like the mod of this sub, lazy and privileged.

Corporate America supports your "living wage", provided everyone has to pay it. But not everyone can pay what you demand. So small businesses disappear and corporate America gets bigger.

u/ToooloooT Jan 28 '22
That's the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard. You seriously just said corporations pay shit wages to keep mom and pop shops in business? Really? You sir have literally said the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

u/RickMcFlick Jan 28 '22
HUH? That's absolutely not what I said you dumb shit.
Big companies like Walmart support minimum wage hiked (living wage). They can afford it. Mom n pop cant.

u/ToooloooT Jan 28 '22
I get that you think your saying the opposite but your not. Companies like Walmart have been fighting for as long as they existed to keep wages and benefits low. They absolutely can afford it. They don't. Mom and pop shops on average pay better than corporations like Walmart. That's a fact. You are absolutely backwards bud.

u/tommo203 Jan 27 '22
Soooo, from what I’m reading it super isn’t. Anti work is against work. You’re talking about normal people’s aspirations for the labor class. This subreddit is a bunch of basement dwellers waiting for handouts

u/RecreationallyTransp Jan 27 '22
Yes. The subreddit is irrelevant. The sentiment remains. I'm working to build a dedicated platform to replace the reliance on reddit. I have 10 years of dev experience. Does anyone want to help?

u/JotaroTheOceanMan Jan 27 '22
If Fox thinks one dingus represents us all, they are admitting to one person of our choice representing them.
Do not fall, even if the Mods already failed us we still have work to do.
