Medieval Peasants also worked ridiculous hours for their lord and were force indoctrinated into religion. I also generally do not like the crappy attitude "Europeans are better than Americans", stuff. I am pretty sure Europe doesn't even have a tech sector. It's just gross generalization that every American is a UPS / Amazon worker or something.

And yes, people are lazy, especially unskilled ones. People who learn a skill or a trade (you can be a high school drop out and learn a trade) and actually use that trade are being rewarded? Who the fuck knew.

There's a fine line between being rightfully opposed to so much of American work culture (especially at the corporate level) and seeing that opposition as validating laziness (pretending for a moment that the concept of laziness exists in the colloquial sense and that avolition can't usually be explained by an undiagnosed/untreated mental health issue). It's not surprising that a subreddit dedicated to the former would end up attracting a lot of the latter, given how Reddit has a tendency to radicalize its communities thanks to its echo chamber design.
Exactly.

Antiwork is terrible. I hate my job but that sub is filled with people that are hated by their bosses because they're garbage workers and then decided it's not their fault.
Protip: Most workers are garbage, even in high skill environments. People who work just to make a paycheck and have no desire to work their ass off for it? Not enthusiastic? Not at all surprised.

its a fake sub for upvote farming
It's also people trying to seek moral fulfillment. Same thing with anyone who says "seek therapy".
