> /r/antiwork on Reddit, that have a stated goal of ending work This got me interested, so I checked it out. The top thread is literally about r/antiwork NOT having this goal: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/o032ek/for_anyone_who_might_think_otherwise/ https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/o032ek/for_anyone... And "not wasting your life working for something you don't believe in" is quite a different beast. I believe even Paul Graham could say this, albeit with totally different idea about what you should do instead.

> This got me interested, so I checked it out. The top thread is literally about r/antiwork NOT having this goal: It's the same way that incel communities insist they're NOT about hating women, but rather something deeper and more respectable: It's a veneer of misdirection so they can justify their continued complaining about having to work. Like I said, they want to end "work" but they don't ever explore ideas for how society would function or how they'd get their food, clothing, and housing if work was abolished. They tend to romanticize primitive, pre-industrialized societies as the easy times, while assuming we could abolish work and still maintain our iPhones, internet, food, and shelter simply by [other] people's innate desire to build these things for free.
