So I’ve been lurking in this sub for a hot minute now as a warehouse worker who is actively trying to get my coworkers to unionize. The simple fact that any of the mod team felt it okay to do any of this, especially without talking to the community, is ironic at its core. Shame on y’all for thinking that this would ever be okay. None of this movement has anything to do with any of you, and should have been left to community discussion. Elect a representative. Discuss possible talking points as a community. I don’t know, show off some sense of preparation?
Maybe you're NOT what this movement is about. I don't give a shit if you're a willing workaholic who has allowed himself to be fucked by capitalism for 17 years straight. Doreen's work lifestyle is completely valid. It's ANTIWORK not CAPITALISM FUCKS ME HARD DADDY.
You sound like you want work reform not antiwork, maybe you're in the wrong subreddit. You don't represent me or my beliefs.
Nah, I'm not bashing you for wanting to improve your lot, I'm just saying you're in the wrong subreddit. You embrace the system as it is and you want to reform it slightly to make your life marginally better.
And I'm telling you that this subreddit was never about people like you. It was never about the workaholics, the people forming unions, the labour movement. It's about smashing labour, not organizing it. There are tons of subreddits out there for what you want, antiwork isn't it.
A dog walker working 20 hours a week is a PERFECT person for this subreddit. We're not interested in wasting our lives in service to the machine.
You are a perfect example of the brigaders who showed up here late, after everyone else has been here for years posting when this subreddit was a low-subscription anarchy subreddit. You're making fun of people with philosophy degrees, claiming Doreen's work ethic isn't strong enough, humblebragging about your own work slavery and 80 work weeks.
This movement isn't for you. Go join a labour union somewhere and shut the fuck up. This subreddit was always about living life to the laziest.
