Anti-work is/was a group their words "A subreddit for those who want to end work, are curious about ending work, want to get the most out of a work-free life, want more information on anti-work ideas and want personal help with their own jobs/work-related struggles."

It blew up over the last few months to over a million users, mostly people just complaining about their shitty jobs. Many of which are just people burned out workers and pro-union types.

Fox News reaches out and this is who they decide to send. A long time mod, self-diagnosed Autistic, trans former dog walker who was fired for not walking the dogs. Basically the embodiment of what you would think a reddit mod would look like.

They got so upset by the tranny mod of r/antiwork appearing on foxnews they created a totally new sub-reddit to distance themselves.


R/workreform is the new sect.


They want the tranny mod removed.

If it’s the same archive, Tim Pool did a piece on it today, so that may have encouraged it as well. It has 1.7 million members: YouTube

Punctuation is important. All I can picture is Optimus Prime chasing after a weiner dog that slipped its harness.

Is he anti-work, or can’t get a job?

He was one of the original mods from when the sub was strictly about not working.

Before this new spin.

I’m not materialistic and I believe in living modestly but that house/apt/room or whatever is depressing as hell.

I agree.

We really should just end work. I know i would be much happier being able to just do whatever each day and not have to worry about work

It's funny to read through minimum wage related posts on reddit. The comments are flooded with people who want higher minimum wage because they themselves are minimum wage employees. Lots of comments like "Wow I need to move to Seattle because their minimum wage would give me an instant raise!"

It's no wonder reddit is so far left - lots of minimum wagers there.
