Warning: extremely toxic thread
I thought there was an antiwork community here? Anyways I'm not sure where to put this. Just kinda sucks that the interview didn't go well and that people are shitting on this person and misgendering her for not being a white male factory worker or something.
/r/antiwork is kind of in shambles rn because the mods are trying keep the discourse from spinning out of control but a ton of people there are being transphobic and turning on the mods, and of course the mods are being accused of being authoritarian for trying to run the sub.
I hope the sub can bounce back, but it's a dark day in there for sure.
Yeah this is like the most basic of dumb capitalist 'arguments' and she was just totally unable present a proper response. That said, accepting to go on in the first place was the real mistake.
I think you can outflank these dickheads pretty easy by just being honestly radical (and probably using the correct body language and the deserved level of aggresion). She could have started with "oooh woow I've never thouth about that before, you genius, you just solve the life of ~100 M muricans!" and then recited "the most wretched of commodities"/Stalin's quote on "personal liberties", while looking the idiot dead in the eye, and if they haven't cut her mic already, just recite statistics of deaths by insulin rationing. Of course, the lizard would interrupt her and weasel out with some other shit, but this is not about winning a debate against a slug not worth a bullet, it's about publicity of their cause. But then again, they don't yet have a solid cause.
Sure, if it was us doing it. But since it's Stalin and also the way PRC views human rights, it's impossible for a mod of antiwork.
