Made a video essay on the meaning and reasons I support the Antiwork movement, the first reply was “Labour shortages due to the entitlement of workers”. Yeah, the entitlement to pay for rent and food, how dare we…

After the drama of the last week or so, my wife and I decide to do the little we can to make a point of what the antiwork movement is, at least to us, and explain our reasoning, along with my story as someone who was indoctrinated to think of “the dream job” where I would work well beyond my paid hours in the name of an “ideal”. we go through concepts like UBI and put the foundations down as to what hopefully can be a mission that makes sense, and someone who I suspect didn't look beyond the title decides that this article about workers “entitlements” is the answer to our struggles. cue eye-roll.
