      Regular poster? The account has commented four times over its lifetime of six months, two being cheap quips and the other two being conservative sentiments that weren't well received, and has not made a submission. Almost all the activity is a mix of /r/daytrading, /r/forex, and /r/southafrica, which allows you to pinpoint exactly what kind of guy this is.

      This isn't someone who's misguided and thinks work sucks but doesn't know any theory so makes incoherent statements, it's a right-wing white Afrikaner who's on reddit to make money on stocks

        I mean obviously, but there's tonnes of these people on there. That just want to make money on cyrpto, stocks, or want a UBI, and just want the rest of the world to produce their treats for them. That character makes up a sizeable amount of that place after the recent growth spike.

        Like I remember an American worker complaining about people tipping like shit, and all the comments were "it's not their fault blame your boss". And while that's true on the surface, people that tip like shit are still assholes that deserve to be called out, and it is anti worker behaviour in the current USA climate as far as I can tell.

          They just need to read literally any accurate portrayal of history.

          People's history of the United States for the Americans, settlers (though I've heard that book has some historical inaccuracies, but the general idea is good), though this guy in particular desperately needs to read some of Steve Biko's works.

            it's reddit, so anyone who could guide them has mostly been chased off or will be banned immediately upon spouting theory.

            they're using the wrong platform to air their grievances.

        Typical example of one of those people that want others to make their treats for them. Posting on the investment and stock trading places, and sees that as "antiwork"
