Eh, this trope has been around forever, remember the film Office Space?

It’s not as simple as young people are lazy. At my last job I couldn’t give it my all because of the particularly bad trans and fuck white people propaganda. I had to quit and find a new one. In the past men would work to support their family, but now more and more young men are perpetually single since monogamy is dying. Also smart phones and the internet have made people lazier too.

The camel's nose is already way into the tent, as government already says what you must pay someone and that you will support them medically. The idiocy of "universal income" is not lost on those who would cause it to happen to buy votes.

Hi, Crid!

Hi Crid impersonator!

That’s rich Ben. Coming from the guy who I strongly suspect is impersonating me. Jealous much?

Second post isn’t Crid either. It’s someone who doesn’t understand that a writing style and world view are as easily identifiable as fingerprints.

Are you sure Isab? The second one does feel more like something Crid would say. I suppose though that you have a more fine tuned sense for these things.

"Earlier this year, a user reminded the subreddit that April 15th is Steal Something From Work Day."

When I worked for a bank, August was "Steal Something from Work" month. Pens, pads, notebooks, and other supplies disappeared in large numbers with kids returning to school and parents seeking cheap school supplies.

I'm something of a stationery snob, so missing supplies in the office supply closet rarely bothered me. I brought most of my own from home. Universal things like Post-It notes, binder and paper clips, staples, etc. were in short supply then, too.

We'll see. 'snot possible to fake Crid for long. Even if you use "'snot" and "duzzenmadder".

There have always been people who hated to work (remember hippies?). With the internet they can get together and pretend to be a movement. They don't realize they sound like children who don't want a bath. "do I have to?"

When you get old and haven't worked much and have no savings or 401k, it isn't so funny.

A habit of "resisting 'hierarchical structures at work' -- that is, the indignity of having a boss tell you what to do" -- can lead to involuntary unemployment.

"I don't like being told what to do" is a big red flag not only at work, but in life.

Damn straight Kevin. As they used to say in the Prussian Army: Those who seek to lead, must learn to obey.

Also note the "I don't like being told what to do" crowd is strongly tied to the "if it isn't nailed down then steal it" crowd.

"Idlers "spend a lot of time discussing tactics workers can use to slack off, cheat, sabotage, and steal from their employers in an act of defiance," she writes. "Earlier this year, a user reminded the subreddit that April 15th is Steal Something From Work Day."" ~Jacobs

I don't remember thinking those were linked when I was in high school. Now that I've been working for a while it is pretty much a 1:1 correlation. Commies are thieves. Very petty thieves too. And they don't just steal at work.

Damn straight Kevin. As they used to say in the Prussian Army: Those who seek to lead, must learn to obey.

Not me. Probably Orion. But this is my last post on this subject.

No work? Okay.
No food, no shelter, no transportation. Those go along with no work.
Ask the Pilgrims in their first year. They ran that experiment and nearly half of them died.

This is not me:

“Are you sure Isab? The second one does feel more like something Crid would say. I suppose though that you have a more fine tuned sense for these things.”

I suspect half of the above conversation is this imposter talking to himself. Could it BOTU? This seems like something he would do..
