@WashedOutGundamPilot Why didn’t you hitch a ride to work?
@PapaPole @Twoinchdestroya @WashedOutGundamPilot Are you telling me people would make things up to push an agenda and get upvotes online?
I despise the r/antiwork crowd as they live in a fantasy world where they think that work is oppressive and that they should just be able to do whatever they want with their time and still be able to eat and have a place to live. Nothing is stopping them from seeking alternatives such as living off grid or forming a commune.

@houseoftolstoy @PapaPole @Twoinchdestroya /r/antiwork is a window into the bottom-rungers in all their ways, equal parts freak show and societal zoo.
Stuff like this does grant a rare insight into how terrible life is when your management is composed of the most insignificant, pitiful amounts of power the system can grant to an 86 IQ overseer
@WashedOutGundamPilot @PapaPole @Twoinchdestroya I should clarify that I don't think that there are not complete shit workplaces or that everyone should accept a job that sucks. The problem comes when you have people think that they should basically get everything for free while not even considering that we still need people to work in order for society to function. Farmers, power plant workers, and others who extract resources from the land do not owe you the fruits of their labor for nothing.
@WashedOutGundamPilot @PapaPole @Twoinchdestroya And before someone else brings it up, I will not defend farm subsidies. Even so, we need farmers to have the food we need to survive, unless you grow/hunt/gather it for yourselves.
I personally know farmers and I can say that they have a good number of 16 hour work days in the year. So we should at least appreciate their work when we go to the grocery store and get easy access to food.
Besides urban sprawl whic ever-decreasing amount of unmolested land, and you know, laws.
@kuon @houseoftolstoy @PapaPole @Twoinchdestroya I’m actually to the point where if someone talks about how they’re living off-grid or even homesteading, and they haven’t achieved some level of success already, I blow them off altogether. Homesteading is only for the hardworking. If you can’t carve out a life with all the utilities and supports of society, then you’ll be in for a world of hurt
@kuon @PapaPole @houseoftolstoy @WashedOutGundamPilot Tell us how Waco or Ruby ridge turned out
@kuon @PapaPole @houseoftolstoy @WashedOutGundamPilot Threat of the gun, not saying you shouldn’t, but it’s a naive belief that you can pack up and escape without pushback.
Your coworkers are just people too and you have to play nice with them.
Some people can't seem to be able to do that. It is like people weren't socialized...
@Tony @houseoftolstoy @PapaPole @Twoinchdestroya ah, but in their minds they’ll have a LOVELY life on the commune. Just look at how much mental health and tarot expertise they all bring to the table!
(actually a wonderful counterpoint to how so many on our side talk about being modest laborers in their dream state)
Just watched Wako again last week.
@Tony @Twoinchdestroya @WashedOutGundamPilot @PapaPole I also have no issue with people forming a commune and all. The problem I have is when they try to scale it to the world at large and force everyone else to participate. This is retarded because a commune only "works" on a small scale (if it does at all), so adding more people who do not want part of that system just makes everyone miserable.
looks like they all just want to be hippies. maybe Nixon was right about them after all
@Tony @houseoftolstoy @PapaPole @Twoinchdestroya
Damn dirty hippies though.
@Tony @WashedOutGundamPilot @PapaPole @Twoinchdestroya Yes, which is why most of them don't join them.
