Does anyone else remember when "they" broke up the anti-work movement on reddit by putting a mod on fox news then dividing the community by creating the work reform sub?

  1. Antiwork accomplished nothing of consequence aside from embarassing itself.

  2. That mod didn't represent a huge chunk of the community that was in that sub which is why people broke off to form another sub that did.

The sad thing is that all FOX really had to do is let this mod speak on what their beliefs were. No dishonest editing to make them look bad was needed. They did that all on their own.

The Reddit antiwork community had quite a few ridiculous folks hanging out within it.

Not that getting to a post-scarcity society where people aren't forced to work wasn't a nice horizon-goal to have, but there are a million steps from where we are in the modern world to there, and a lot of those people wanted it done by next Tuesday. And then when you'd point out that was literally impossible, they'd stick their fingers in their ears and make noises. Needless to say, I didn't try to stick around for long.
