I believe the origins of r/antiwork are actually more literally "anti-work" like you mentioned. As in, moving towards a basic income post scarcity society where we don't have to work. It's a noble utopian goal but since we're so far away from it of course the posts make the problem feel intractable. As the subreddit grew there was a natural tensions between those that actually wanted to improve things and those that wanted to dream about a future and complain.
