  • Exactly. What really bugs me about lefty/antiwork sentiment lately is that it increasingly seems to be built upon and pushing fundamentally flawed black/white style concepts with unrealistic demands that don't understand the nuances of the world we live in.

    This is antithetical to progress, it alienates many supporters and breeds politically useless extremism.

  • There is no actual rule about this. In my experience children are liable to one day decide that they no longer like a thing that they used to enjoy eating all the time.

    Wtf am I supposed to do with all these string cheese stickes now? I literally buy them in bulk and she suddenly decides she doesnt like them anymore right after I restocked!

    The other one has also declared that balony is gross, after enjoying a balony sandwich for breakfast several times a week for over a year. But thats fine I guess, balony isnt healthy and it is indeed kind gross, but also I still like it and will eat what he doesnt. The problem is that he instead wants avocado toast for breakfast. Hes only 7 and already ruining his chances of ever owning a house.

  • There is not enough wild growing food to feed the entire human population. You are welcome to live in the woods and survive on only berries and mushrooms go right ahead.

    Agriculture is hard work. Hard work has value and therefore the resulting product of agriculture (food) has value and is not free.

    I am not some capitalist pig, I generally agree with anti-work sentiment and am pro work reform. I am working class, working to live, if i dont work I'll be homeless in 2 months. But also I realise that if you build an extremist ideology based upon blatant falsehoods like that in the posted image, it is doomed to fail.

  • Also its just factually incorrect. That argument doesnt work for healthcare for two reasons:

    1. it is a necessary service. People who need it don't have a choice.
    2. Practically nobody actually buys their own health insurance; they get it as a "benefit" from their employer who chooses the provider and available plans... and guess what? Their employer is also a company whose only goal is to maximize profits. Yes there is an open marketplace for health insurance but be honest have you actually heard of anyone actually using it?

    So basically its not really a free market, its a cartel and they can charge whatever the fuck they want.
