You've confused employment with work.
- effingwewt 8y agothe article has the word 'workism' in the title. i believe it's extremely disingenuous to be a pedant here.
- thatoneuser 8y agoYouve confused pedantry with meaningful conversation ;)
- loco5niner 8y agoThis comment explains why no one agrees with your previous comment. You are using the term "work" differently than EVERYONE else here.
- rukittenme 8y agoWho cares about agreement? I'd rather be right. You can't redefine words when its convenient. You're just appropriating the spirit of the word to make a point that's irrelevant to the word itself. If you read the article, the authors make no distinction between work and employment. If you read the comment I originally replied to, that person made no distinction between work and employment. When "crankylinuxuser" replied to me, he assumed a definition of the word I disagreed with and used that definition to respond to an argument I never made. You don't get to define work as "toiling for some indifferent capitalist" and then treat me like I'm the one pulling the rug out from under you.
