      I love to sit around every once in a while, nothing wrong with that. Sometimes I sit in quiet contemplation for days at a time, other times I just go golfing or fishing or take a vacation to Bora Bora to sit on the beach and drink. If you want to do these things it’s not hard, start a successful business or make a smart real estate investment!

            Your assumption that the antiwork movement is just made of lazy assholes who don’t wanna do anything? Yeah, that’s a problem.

              It’s not an assumption. It’s literally in the name. It’s literally the entire content of OP’s submission. Where do you think you are?

                Anti work isn’t “I don’t want to work”. It’s “I don’t agree with capitalist employment”. The antiwork movement WANTS to work, they just don’t want it to be a prerequisite for a comfortable life.

                Also, the OP is not against work. Again, they are against NEEDING to work; the coercive relationships in place that force us to work or else be stricken with poverty.

                  The antiwork movement WANTS to work

                  Then they need to find a new slogan. Because that is literally the complete opposite of the movement that’s been labeled and the person/people who thought this up must have been trolling. You are sending the wrong message and you’re going to be dismissed without a second thought, just as it has been here.

                    I have to admit, you’re right about that. The term anti work has exactly the connotation you’re saying, and leads to these types of annoying conversations in attempt to explain it, rather than talking about the real issues like poor working conditions, low pay, long hours, and extremely one sided power balances.
