• There’s a lot of intersection between the set of folk who believe in obligatory work and who believe in culling undesirables.

      Having been called lazy all my life (despite having had lifelong major depression) I’m more than wary of when people like to suggest, as Thessalonians advises The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.

      When my symptoms were most severe I was so unwilling to work I spent nine months in my bed, barely able to crawl to the kitchen or bathroom. I had no will to work or play or watch TV, or lift my limbs.

      So, yeah when someone opines a work mandate, I get spooked.
