yeah it's full of libs but you'd think they wouldn't celebrate a landlord telling them nobody makes enough money for him to turn a profit

    The central post-leftist doctrine seems to be an assertion the chains are largely imaginary and can be overcome not through mutual aid and organization, but rather, a simple refutation of being defined as someone in chains. They believe work can be overcome by simply not showing up to work. Politics can be overcome by simply refusing to engage in it. Bigotry can be overcome by simply not associating with bigots. They believe liberation can exist at an individual level and is in fact preferable that way.

    Like I've read a lot of their literature and I think their dream would be to set up shacks in the woods or something, except half of them just like partying and the other half are literal tenured philosophy professors, so good luck getting that going.

      So they managed to become anti-social socialists as policy, not simply because of something like depression or anxiety.

        I don't think they've managed to do anything other than write some screeds in obscure journals with 12 readers. Running the antiwork subreddit is probably the most impact they've ever had on wider discourse.
