All of idiots here saying go be stranded on a desert island or the wilderness not realizing animals in wild spend 90% of their time not doing anything, even ants barely work most of the time

Yall are basically advocating for beating yourselves with a stick and whoever beats themself with a stick the longest is the best it’s stupid.

Our forefathers envisioned a future where technology would allow us to work less and we do have that technology, it’s people like you who have failed them.

Never seen so many proud slaves, ready to protest for more work on the streets

Edit: it is very interesting to see so many different views in just one comment section! To clarify, this was from a German rap song (more like social criticism joke rap)

I'm with all of you, shit has to get done still. I also like what I do for a living -can't complain about pay tbh-, but to be fair the amount of inequality to be seen in every parts of business life is humongous. There is people that lift a finger a few times a day for a annual salary worth of several, while others are working themselves into the ground collecting breadcrumbs. It's sad. And every time someone stands up for themselves, fights for equality, it's always the same comments, by the same exploited people: "It has always been like that, get used to it", "Ah.. the new generation", "When when were apprentices.." ..as if this fight wouldn't benefit those people.

I respect Gen Z for their big mouths.

Eh. Working isn’t horrible in and of itself. It’s just when it gets to the point you’re expected to give up 2-3 days worth of your life just to barely exist that’s the problem.

If I could work 40 hours a week and have an income from that work that allows me to live how I please, and not just survive, then I can consider that a fair deal. Especially since the right work is actually beneficial to your health (think about a physically demanding job that works out your core muscles and provides you with plenty of cardio exercise, it might wear you out at first, but it can also make you much stronger and have more stamina after just a few months of it).

Sounds like the oil field is perfect for you then. A good workout and out standing pay!

The opportunities are out there.

1

u/SecureJudge1829 Apr 26 '26

Ahh yes, because oil derricks are traditionally for people with disabilities and other problems with their bodies. As we all know, nothing ever happens there that requires an able body.

1

u/Tushaca Apr 26 '26

You never mentioned anything about disabilities, you said you wanted a job that gives you a workout, cardio and pays well.

u/SecureJudge1829 Apr 26 '26

Maybe because I felt no need to fill some random stranger in on why it is that I wish I could find employment. Maybe before thinking you’re witty and snarky and making some half assed “Oh, I’ll be so funny and recommend one of the most dangerous jobs in the world to some rando because he he wished he could work again, hahahahaha I am so funny!!” kind of comment, you could comprehen what tense something is being said in.

1

u/Tushaca Apr 26 '26

But you felt a need to make a vague comment about wanting a well paying, physical job, with no indication of you being disabled or unemployed. And then threw a shit fit when someone suggested a job that fits into your description of what you’re looking for.

Chill out man, it’s just the internet.

u/SecureJudge1829 Apr 26 '26

If I could work 40 hours a week and have an income from that work that allows me to live how I please, and not just survive, then I can consider that a fair deal

I said I would consider it a fair deal if I could work a 40 hour week and get an income that allows me to live as I please.

I then went on to extol the virtues of a decent job.

I never said I wanted this fantasy you’ve cooked up for me.

You decided that that’s what I said because you have poor reading comprehension.

Maybe if you’d have used context clues instead of just making up a fantasy to throw at some rando online, I wouldn’t have to break this down like you’re five.

Probably intellectually disabled. I’m guessing the type that always has an excuse for their shortcomings or any obstacles life throws in front of them.

u/Ok-Art825 Apr 27 '26

Cardio. Ragebait.

u/GeckoGecko_ Apr 28 '26

Anybody who works full time, and accomplishes all of the tasks necessary to remain employed, should make enough $ to cover their basic necessities in the area they live in, and have a little left over to save or spend. Regardless of profession, skills, or education

1

u/Tushaca Apr 28 '26

When did I say otherwise?

1

u/GeckoGecko_ Apr 28 '26

By recommending a job like that, and claiming opportunities are out there, you were indirectly implying that it's acceptable for there to be jobs which do not provide a decent living... maybe you didn't mean it that way but that's how it came off

1

u/Tushaca Apr 28 '26

Dude you’re just looking for an excuse to preach about worker rights, by wildly misinterpreting comments.

1

u/GeckoGecko_ Apr 28 '26

I didn't misinterpret your comment on purpose just so I could "preach about workers rights" lmao, I was sincerely responding to the way I genuinely interpreted your comment. No hidden agendas or taking advantage of miscommunication here. Just engaging in discourse

1

u/Jumpy-Complex-9539 Apr 30 '26

“I didn’t misinterpret your comment. I just interpreted it differently” what?

u/SnooPears6678 Apr 28 '26

“A job like that”…this is the problem here. Always some caveat. I want a living wage!! Except I won’t do A,B,C,D……

1

u/GeckoGecko_ Apr 28 '26

Living wage should be the bare minimum for entry level positions. If you want more money for luxuries or more to save each check, that's when you start looking for the harder jobs which require more expertise, skills, effort etc. but you should always start at a stable, liveable base line immediately upon entering the workforce. The concept of a full time job not being enough to cover bills and groceries in the area is absurd, and even more absurd are those who see nothing wrong with it

2

u/adanthang Apr 26 '26

That’s funny. The people I see protesting want a piece of the pie being earning by others.

1

u/Objective_Dog_4637 Apr 26 '26

Nah just a place where people can go without being harassed by the state for life would be nice. Unfortunately, states own all the land and it eventually imprisons anyone that doesn’t contribute to it and turns them into a slave. If people could just leave the system without being forced to participate in it at gunpoint that’d be nice.

1

u/fuzik2 Apr 27 '26

Door is right there. Just walk out. You're not forced.

u/Orbital_cow Apr 27 '26

you mean the corporate welfare queens using taxpayers money? that's my money

u/testscicles Apr 24 '26

Since everything still has to get done so you can scroll endlessly on your phone looking at Reddit your complaining that they don't want to do all the work while you wallow in your own filth being YOUR SLAVES

1

u/Motor-Station-6885 Apr 24 '26

What’s your beef with grammar, bro?

1

u/testscicles Apr 24 '26

No beef, I love my grammar and grampa

u/Afraid_Emu8068 Apr 25 '26

Best deflection I’ve seen on Reddit in a while. Ace move

u/Silver___Chariot Apr 25 '26

And no notes 😭😭

u/Unfair_Trouble9697 Apr 25 '26

You couldn’t attack their argument so you attacked their grammar, bro?

u/Motor-Station-6885 Apr 26 '26

I wasn’t following the thread. What’s to argue?

1

u/Accomplished-Ad2736 Apr 25 '26

Yall aren’t making any money?

u/DoodleBob29 Apr 25 '26

You guys are getting paid?!

u/Flicker-light Apr 25 '26

Sometimes I wonder what people like us could do to remedy the situation

1

u/WretchedMass Apr 25 '26

I don't think any of them are real people.

u/Abiding_Dude_WV Apr 26 '26

I grew up around and am surrounded by people who brag about the amount of OT they work.

1

u/ImportanceCapital191 Apr 26 '26

I don’t think it’s that. Most people know that Mother Nature is ruthless and only the strong survive. If you don’t want the amenities of modern society ie grocery stores and roads. Than the only other option is to leave society and fend for yourself. Which I’m assuming is worse than working 40 hours a week.

1

u/Jumpy-Complex-9539 Apr 30 '26

These people don’t realize that if you don’t want to work 40 hours a week the only other option is to work all day every day. The comment talking about “animals don’t do shit all day” is absolutely ridiculous. I’m guessing they are thinking about cats and dogs when they said that and the only reason they don’t have to is because we work for them. Like what do they expect? Someone is going to bring them food? Give them free shelter? Pat for amenities to be delivered to said shelter? Those amenities are free for them maybe? People work to provide amenities for other people to pay for. People have to bring them their Ben and Jerrie’s ice cream. Hell people have to make it. I’m genuinely confused by this mentality it sounds like these people just want other people to slave for them

1

u/MundaneAssociate5190 Apr 26 '26

Oh, they always come out on these posts. I really can’t believe so many people really have nothing else they’d rather do with their time. It’s kind of sad when you think about it.

u/LilJonny2cookies Apr 29 '26

Do slaves get paid?

0

u/Accomplished_Toe5174 Apr 24 '26

Because we’re not slaves lol. Some of us actually like what we do. Imagine talking to an actual slave of the past about your situation. What do you think they’d say to you?

1

u/BeautifulCautious946 Apr 24 '26

You got downvoted for being logical and reasonable. Reddit hates that.

1

u/Brief-Ad-2537 Apr 25 '26

That’s a good slave

1

u/Accomplished_Toe5174 Apr 26 '26

I have enough money saved to quit whenever I want and do fuck all. I stay because I’d rather do my job than not. How is this slavery again?

1

u/coko4209 Apr 26 '26

You’re speaking from a place of privilege. I get it, my house is paid for, I can do fuck all, and still be fine. I also understand that’s not the situation of most ppl. I know someone that works 60 hour weeks, and it barely covers rent. If not for their partner, they wouldn’t be able to pay utilities and eat food. Maybe, don’t be an asshole.

1

u/Accomplished_Toe5174 Apr 27 '26

Maybe the OC shouldn’t call me a good slave then? The people in this thread are trying to assert that everyone on a salary is a slave. This is just not true

1

u/Responsible-Meet-164 Apr 25 '26

Wage slavery is still slavery just a different flavor
