they never planned on taking him seriously, and they really hit him with the bad faith "it's not slave labor, you're not trapped, you can quit any job" shit

Once I saw Fox News, I knew it was over. There's no way they would've paint him in a good light. Shit was a trap.

Honestly the host of that show comes across way worse than that mod did.

the host is a condescending dick the whole time. This will only make the anti work movement grow.

Maybe the attributes they're stereotyped as having, are in fact the attributes that make a person want to be, or get them judged as suitable to be, a reddit mod?

How. What was so god awful about it. He says he walks dogs and wants to be a teacher or professor. Oooh!

Basically it just sounds like the dude doesnt have PR or media training or whatever. Thats it.

everything he said was reasonable and pragmatic, the problem is that he looks and sounds exactly like what you'd expect of a mod behind a subreddit called anti-work. it's not exactly fair, he's just how he is, but you need good communicators and good optics for things like this.

that being said, it's obvious they weren't even going to remotely take him seriously anyway

Did he even make a point? His entire argument boiled down to "I don't want to work full time".
Fucks sake, if he could've bothered to do any level of research he should've cited Germany and many other countries have ~30 hr work weeks with tons of pto and are still considered full time and comparable to our middle class grinding away 50-60+ hrs/wk.

Imagine losing a battle of wits to a Fox News talking head, holy shit

Definitely true! But the idea that just his being on there is somehow discrediting the entire idea of not having to work on a grinding schedule is nonsense. These are impossible standards that are of course only ever really applied to left wing ideas. Right wing blowhards make fools of themselves on a much more regular basis yet somehow this weird "entire ideology disqualified!" stuff doesnt happen to them

Disagree. He fit basically every stereotype you can imagine for this crowd, I was waiting for the host to ask him who's house he was in because I guarantee it isn't his on a part time dog walker salary lol.
I mean the guy was even embarrassed himself, there's a reason he paused before answering the "what do you do" "how old re you" and "how many hours" questions.

I don't think he made a single valid point or really anything that even approached a legit argument. Saying his appearance damaged and discredited the "movement" is not unfair. At best he did no harm but certainly did no favors lol

You're probably not going to find many like that in r/antiwork, because they're usually too industrious.

Key part to me where he looks so lame is when asked if dog walking is his pinnacle and then responses with being fine dog walking forever but he'd like to teach or work with people.

Issue with saying teaching is that, by 30 years old, if you truly wanted to be a teacher you could have been by 22 or at the very least started making strives toward that goal.

His career goal sounded like a goal you tell your parents so they get off your back about wasting your life

What a joke. So unbelievable it almost looks like a Fox News plant. A greasy looking person in a dimly lit messy room who works 25hrs as a dog walker and brought basically nothing to the discussion.

The host brought up interesting points and they did nothing to counter them. He asked how many hours you work and you don't even discuss how we are forced to work 40+ hours even though automation has improved productivity exponentially. Complete waste of an interview.

As a casual browser there is an obvious divide in the community.

One side (I support) is critical of things like stagnant wages, prioritizing work over personal life (family), and toxic work culture.

The other side takes it too far and basically believes because we didn't concent to being born into a capitalist society that we shouldn't have to work at all, but still wants to be able to have nice things for free.

Apparently they got the second kind of person to interview.

What good argument could someone even make in a span of like 3 minutes? There was no discussion to be had. All it was was the smug host trying to insult the dude. And so what if he walks dogs and would like to teach? And he's 30? So what? Plenty of people all ages are stuck doing gig work. Let's say you got a good-looking dude on there with a good job and stable life. Then they'd be like "so what do you have to complain about??" I swear in the US everyone is just so hung up over the most meaningless things.

I'll agree that the dude never should have gone on to begin with because you can't win going on something like Fox--no matter who it was or what they said they'd find 800 reasons why it has "discredited the entire movement".

I'm curious what the 'dog walking' business actually is. Pocket money for helping out the family and family friends most likely. To pad out a resume that doesn't exist.

He says he's a dog walker and on his websight he says he lives in NH.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/2/1/AAdGD8AAC2mR.png

He works 2 hours every day or 20-25 hours a week. Just looking at his room it's pretty impressive what he has only making that much.

It's almost like work is required for a sustainable society and isn't anything anybody wants to do, but has to do because otherwise society would collapse.
