Listen, I’m from the rural south. We do basically everything ourselves. If a toilet needs repaired, we fix it. If the road needs to be graveled in in the potholes, we fix it.
Nobody is asking to do no work. They’re just tired of doing work at the behest of the capitalist class. The problem is that work is both an adjective and a noun. Nobody likes the noun.
The OP graphic literally already distinguished between these two classes. The second one is the “work” you mentioned - we all seem to agree on that part - while the first one is the “sit on your fat, lazy ass while forcing others to do all the work for you”. I hoped that most people here would agree that outright blatant slavery is wrong, but based on a lot of comments here, unfortunately I see that that assumption on my part was wrong. Mea culpa. !antiwork!antiwork@lemmy.ml is oddly pro-slavery I now understand.
Also, you seem to be arguing for literally all of the sides of this, literally all at once. “We do basically everything ourselves” = “we do the work”… as we… both are saying? Except “Nobody likes the noun”, except I guess when everyone in the South does it, and me too.
Btw, every single nation on Earth has a “south” - from your username, am I to assume that you are from South Africa?
Listen,
Wow, starting the conversation with that right off the bat, huh? :-P
