I don’t quite understand the anti work movement

I understand that most laws revolving around employment are abusive and questionable and there are a lot of evil companies out there, but who would provide for the world if it wasn’t for workers? Don’t get me wrong, I hate the concept of working 40 hours a week to just barely get by, but if overall people simply worked less, we would have a lot less services available to us. Some of the posts I see are people just wanting to simply exist on their own terms, and if everyone did that, how would those people receive the products and services they live off of? We are at a point in society that if people didn’t work, we would be stuck in primitive times. The reason we’re posting on Reddit right this second and discussing this is because people work, and people have worked to build up to this point.…

Don’t get me wrong, I hate the concept of working 40 hours a week to just barely get by, but if overall people simply worked less, we would have a lot less services available to us.

Some of the posts I see are people just wanting to simply exist on their own terms, and if everyone did that, how would those people receive the products and services they live off of?

We are at a point in society that if people didn’t work, we would be stuck in primitive times. The reason we’re posting on Reddit right this second and discussing this is because people work, and people have worked to build up to this point.

Please don’t take this the wrong way as I do think workers in a lot of countries are abused, overworked, and under-compensated, but what is the solution? If no one worked, society wouldn’t progress.
