hese are tough days for the “antiwork” crowd. Along with bedsores, sagging muscle tone, Cheetos stains on clothing and a profound sense of unjustified entitlement, another occupational hazard for the occupationless has just emerged: Contact with the outside world.
As a result of three minutes on Fox News Channel, the I-refuse-to-be-useful crowd have just seen their movement knocked off its axis by a nuclear level of ridicule. Over on the social-media site Reddit, there are 1.7 million shiftless members of a slovenly subreddit called r/antiwork. Fox’s Jesse Watters thought the group’s outlook sounded interesting so he called up one of its leaders for a chat. What transpired went so badly for the antiwork types that I fear they won’t be able to get out of bed all weekend, although I concede that’s a moot point for the armies of the prone.
Watters asked a few not-particularly-mean questions of the leader, a transgender individual named Doreen, who . . . well, I would never want to be accused of being rude. Let’s just recap how some members of the group described one of their chiefs:

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”

Look on the brightside, the videos is obviously not in the basement, right? Of course the open question is; from whence comes the 'capital' (savings) for living? Who is subsidizing this life style?
What makes you think that isn’t a basement? Look where the curtain is.

The Reddit comments on this interview are hilarious. I read Reddit just to see the other side of the social media and Doreen was being hammered for even going on Fox, and Fox for not being more gentle and understanding in the interview. I found the latter viewpoint to be typical of the group that adores how CNN does interviews of people on the left,
I have a stepson who looks exactly like Maynard. Was thrown in jail New Years Eve for hitting his girlfriend and out the next day. I think he has worked ONE day since then. The only one in the family like this and he thinks he knows more than any of us. His arrogance is off the charts.
24 hours in a day. 12 hours = 1/2 day.
Ignarrogance. Should be a word.
That’s a California question huh.
Bedsores, sagging muscle tone, Cheetos stains on clothing and a profound sense of unjustified entitlement.
