Jake Rayson@Miriamm I don't want to work any more, not for capitalists

Epistatacadam@Miriamm I love the blind ignoring of the evidence that if you want people to be unproductive, you should both give the bosses big bonuses for doing SFA and keep everyone else's wages down as low as your competitors will let you get away with, by not pinching them by paying more.
obscurestar@Miriamm The martyr complex is very important to right wing identity.
Garth Cummings@Miriamm No voice as loud and clear as the voice of history.

@Miriamm shocker: OF COURSE NOBODY WANTS TO WORK, there’s a reason vacation and retirement are so romanticized. It’s not normal to want to *work.* People may want to make things, or to be creative, or to solve problems, or to care for people, but they don’t want “to work.” 🙄
awkapuma@Miriamm They are right!
The ruling class, company owners, the oppressors are saying the truth, they have just missed 3 words:
"Nobody wants to work any more FOR BEING EXPLOITED"
herchenroder@Miriamm I love this.
Gemma 👽@Miriamm
Like… Yeah, I honestly don’t. I work, because I gotta earn some sort of living, but would I rather just do some random weirdness all day every day? FUUUUUCK YES! Fuck work. It’s a necessary evil, not the end goal.

@Miriamm In my country, Spain, those capitalist and neoliberal people say that and also add: Spain is breaking up!!!!
apalu@Miriamm you should extend that back to the reconstruction era and a certain group of people whose desire not to work like they had been working was described exactly that way
Mgrrl@Miriamm love.
Slip@Miriamm and yet, they somehow all believe that it's true NOW, not like before. Their hatred for young people is so blatant.

Princesa Jujuba FedIverso 👸@Miriamm in Brazil is the same too begining from politcs 
ArchaeoIain@Miriamm "Never in the field of human work was so much owed by so few to so many who do not want to work and starve any more."
Aaron B Lingwood@Miriamm Nobody wants to pay wages anymore
James Fallows@Miriamm Imagine saying "Nobody wants to work anymore" while WW2 is happening
Ned Raggett (has moved!)@Miriamm Oh! Just noticed you were over here too, heya.
@Miriamm In Spain we have people like this shithead, the president of hospitality industry -> Randomly working 10 - 12 hours depending on what the employer needs is called "flexibility" 💀
Nicole ParsonsBillionaires have comforting narratives that they tell themselves to justify their greed & cruelty.
Favorites are those about the long held belief of the "lazy slave" and "undeserving poor".
grabeMalign influence campaigns don't come for free.
I notice the innumerable narratives about the homeless, addicted, unemployed, mentally ill, single childless women, incels living in their mothers basements, poor, indebted, avocado-eating college students, welfare queens, "illegals", "globalists", and other examples of people you're supposed to dehumanize at the order of a tax-evading seditious billionaire.
All narratives intended to distract from what GOP billionaire donors do
Ryan FisherAccording to E.O. Wilson's work on eusocial species, it is the cooperative & social sharing species that have existed the longest. Ants. Bees.
Humans are one of the few non-insect eusocial species.
Humans survived several population bottlenecks because of our eusocial behavior, while our other primate cousins went extinct. Cro-Magnon, Denisovian, Neanderthal.
In crises, selfish behavior reduces survival rates, even of the selfish.
Longtermism is an anti-survival cult.
RuralAnemone@Miriamm I believe Michael Stevens from Vsauce refers to this as faux-neo
thebreadisrising@Miriamm and the lazy bosses always refuse to work!
@Miriamm thanks for this enlightenment!

Marga Xeyat Ⓐ@Miriamm Bosses who would never work in their own companies complain that nobody wants to work in their companies. 🤦🏼♀️
Abandoned America@Miriamm I don't want to work any more so they're right about me, at least

IridisSparks ✨🍉FREE PALESTINEThe truly fucked thing is the further back you go, the less troubled by enclosure & deconstruction/commodification of 'third spaces' (the public spaces that are free or at least cheap for people to congregate, interact, & relax) the working class is.
There is so much more paved over land that could have been food & medicine foraging sites. Fewer parks & pubs for human connection. Less time to cultivate either.
Wage slavery was unacceptable then. Even MORE unacceptable now.
That Darn Saucy Moose 🔞@Miriamm @paulisci Also totally love how this parallels the Industrial Revolution and, y'know, the mass adoption of labor-saving technology. The stuff that keeps getting marketed as the thing that will eliminate unnecessary drudgery and toil. But that mysteriously, seems to only make capitalists demand more out of labor.
Productivity for the Productivity God, Skulls for the Skull Throne vibes.
