Wow I think this is the first time it's been insinuated I'm a paid shill! Also being a noble genuine worker's rights movement AND a movement being amplified by foreign actors aren't mutually exclusive. If you want to cause internal strife of course it makes sense to pick a cause with credibility and grassroots support. Like I'm sure the US would jump at the chance to promote sweeping democratic reforms in its major opponents. That cause sounds pretty noble but the US's interest in promoting it is certainly not noble.
Also even the credible threat of something being the result of foreign influence, whether true or not, can already create the desired conflict. As we've demonstrated.
Back to the topic, I really have no opinion on whether r/antiwork has malicious influence. I have no idea on that. And either way the cause is still a just one. But my comment above was just noting that if it being influenced then those actors aren't "motivated to improve US working conditions", as the parent commenter said.
