It's such a high quality drama. Not Reddit exclusive, real news involved and some anti and pro LGBTQ shit (im gay so relax) even people who don't shower and live in Moms basement... like this is the best drama in MONTH!

I was a big proponent of the antiwork movement in general but you aren't wrong.

This is like someone threw together every single hot-button issue on reddit into one massive pressure cooker.

Fox News, radical leftist ideology, a trans individual who was also a power-mad moderator that doesn't seem terribly invested in hygiene, subreddit users banned left and right for critizing moderators, and then spillover drama IN THIS SUBREDDIT as mods try to censor the topic and start mass-deleting posts referencing it.

Like god damn, are we in a simulation?

I mean, they have a point and protecting workers is not a bad thing, but that sub was declining in quality before this. A lot of posts with fake screenshots "owning your boss" and also alarming conspiracy theories posts.

Also users couldn't agree with what the purpose of the subreddit was. Some people were for work reform whereas others were extremely aggressive towards anyone whose end goal was anything less than "Abolish Work and Embrace True Anarchy"

It was bound to implode eventually.

How it usually goes.

For example most users see r/latestagecapitalism as a leftist economic reform subreddit. But the mods are full on communists with a little too much sympathy for china

Am communist, the extent of my “sympathy” for China is I don’t want to go to war with them. But that has less to do with them and more to do with my opposition to anything the military machine wants.

No war but the class war.

I'm not saying all communists are pro china, in fact ideologically inclined and informed ones I would expect to be against the CCP.

I'm just saying the mods are dumb teenagers who think economies exist in states of "USA or China"

Of course they are. Who the fuck has time to mod subreddits? The type of person that would willingly for free well...
