Antiwork

My take on the antiwork movement.

Work is a necessity, because it literally fuels civilisation. People can complain about capitalism, and yes, it is not a perfect system, definitely favours the rich, and needs reworking, especially in America, but the bottom line is- people have to work to keep everything running. Millions of people have worked just for your everyday lifestyle to remain intact. Work is also a fundamental necessity, not just for practicality's sake, but to keep people busy.

If you refuse to work and have no good reason, then you are simply not participating in society. You can tell me that nobody should 'have' to work, but you need to understand that if everyone adopted your mindset, civilization would collapse. If civilization collapses, you're still going to have to 'work' in one way or another.
