    I remember what she said was embarrassing. The discussion afterwards made me realize how many in that sub really were ‘antiwork’ in a literal sense, not just about labor protections and maintaining work-life balances.

      Every movement is going to contain a whole spectrum of voices. Never having to work is pie in the sky but I’ll tell you who I’m siding with in the “there should be slaves” and the “people should not have to work at all” argument.

        I’m only ‘siding’ with people that can recognize that’s a very silly false dichotomy.

      The idea of antiwork isn’t bad though. We should use anything and everything we can to utilize automation to allow people to live with as little work as possible. Is that a reality today, no. Can it be a reality in the future, maybe. Things will need maintenance and upkeep, people will want to innovate and try to build new things, etc. But that doesn’t mean we can’t work on things like UBI, free housing, free medicine, free education, etc.

      The idea of heading that direction is (what I understood) the main goal. We’re just going to need to take steps to get there and changing the terrible labor practices we currently have became step 1 and thus a majority of the focus in the subreddit.
