Does anyone else remember when "they" broke up the anti-work movement on reddit by putting a mod on fox news then dividing the community by creating the work reform sub? (lemmy.world)

Every movement is going to contain a whole spectrum of voices. Never having to work is pie in the sky but I'll tell you who I'm siding with in the "there should be slaves" and the "people should not have to work at all" argument.

Never having to work is pie in the sky but I’ll tell you who I’m siding with in the “there should be slaves” and the “people should have to work at all” argument.

I'm only 'siding' with people that can recognize that's a very silly false dichotomy.

Not a dichotomy. Spectrum. W/e, you don't get it.

... Are YOU the mod from Fox news?

Yes, there's a rational spectrum of labor protections and social safety nets between the silly extremes you used for your false dichotomy. You've almost got it.
