The entire thing was a disaster, start to finish. If you're going on Fox News, at least clean your room, put on something other than a sweatshirt, and come PREPARED. You have to know that Fox is going to ask you horribly loaded questions that aim to make you seem like the biggest fool on earth.
But the funny part is, they didn't even do that. The questions asked pretty much amounted to "What are your aspirations?" and "What do you do for a living?" And when the answers to that are "I want to teach Philosophy" and "I sleep on the job that I work 20 hours a week while I punish dogs by refusing them water"[1] then maybe you shouldn't be speaking like what you are doing is too much work.
She could have mentioned the growing wealth inequality, the need for unions, the causes behind the "great resignation", the shifting attitudes of not taking bullshit, but instead she had to say how "Laziness is a virtue!" as if anybody ever is going to agree with that. I would say it's a strawman of the typical reddit moderator (who does it for free, by the way), but if a strawman is made of flesh and blood, is it really a strawman anymore?
Who were the mods at /r/antiwork kidding. I guess this is the egotistical delusion that happens when your head mod is a self admitted rapist.[2]

- soared 5y ago[2] doesn’t seem to support your claim?
- alexb_ 5y agoHow so? Masturbating next to someone after they specifically told them it made them uncomfortable, inappropriate touching, and purposefully turning off alarms specifically set to stop this from happening again out of "desperation for emotional intamacy". Then going to talk about it as if it wasn't her fault and it's actually okay now because she went to therapy except she didn't because it's too expensive but it's actually okay because she gave money to an organization.... Call it like it is. It's insanely rapey. I have no remorse for people who do things like this, and then try to play the victim.
- anothernewdude 5y agoDoesn't matter. Fox News selected this guy for a reason.
- alexb_ 5y agoFox News actually didn't select her - the mod team elected her as the best representative. Think about that.
- tenuousemphasis 5y agoThe mod team which she could remove anyone from at any time, since she is the most senior moderator.
- Beltalowda 5y agoThe Fox Team specifically asked for her in the mod mail, and the mods agreed she would be the best choice. So it's both right: Fox News asked for her and she was selected/elected by the mod team.
- throwaway5412 5y agoI think what really happened was that r/antiwork started out as being more of a philosophical sub for people who wanted to explore the utopian but unrealistic vision of people not having to work at all. Then, later, it grew to host this larger movement of frustrated workers needing reform. The mod Doreen I believe originally founded the sub, but now is not a good representative of the larger movement. Fox News is of course happy to take advantage of that, to make the movement look bad
- joemazerino 5y agoFox News didn't need to try too hard to make the movement look bad, right?
- anothernewdude 5y agoNo, propaganda is easy.
- xg15 5y agoI didn't really follow the whole affair, but I found it interesting that Fox apparently specifically requested this particular mod for the interview - and that the mod had already given interviews in the past. I haven't seen those past interviews, but if she behaved like that in the past, could it be that requesting her was the brunt of Fox' strategy? Like, they might have known she would make a fool of herself (and the movement) without them even needing to trip her up with loaded questions.

- uxp100 5y agoShe was the head mod, and was the only one to have done other interviews. That doesn’t seem that interesting to me. Who else would you request to interview, but the person who handles media and is “in-charge.” (Not really all that in-charge, though she made the subreddit private, so)
- shitlord 5y agoFYI you may want to rehost that second image. Reddit is currently scrubbing that image off their website, and they will delete it if they become aware of it.
- c0balt 5y agohttps://archive.is/tK2p6 https://archive.is/tK2p6 someone already archived it 13 hours ago.
- rPlayer6554 5y agoYou expect him to do work to prepare for the interview? I thought it was clear he was anti-work! He wanted to clean up his room....then realized laziness is a virtue!
- loceng 5y agoHe clearly didn't read Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life.
