What paid corporate shill wrote this? They were mad because the movement grew to no longer represent what she made it for. The group splintered after this because she was clearly not about reforming work and work culture, but avoiding it all together. Thats fine, though the interview was not.
I mean. Sure. That’s all true. Gentrification, sanewashing, she was there omnipresently and represented a less curated version of the core community.
But damn. Don’t talk to media. Definitely don’t talk to media unprepared. DEFINITELY don’t accept a media invite from an openly hostile media (which… Most of it is for anarchists) WITHOUT HAVING A LITERAL SCRIPT THAT YOU DO NOT DEVIATE FROM
This can’t seriously be what passes for journalism nowadays.
All this article says to me is how much of a grind-culture, corporate cuck Trace Underwood is. This feels like exactly the article I’d write if I were a wall street underling being forced to show my undying fealty for capitalism while reporting this story.
The foundational assumptions in this article are pretty weak. Perhaps most of all the assumption that there’s some “real” version of any sub. When a bunch of people pissed off about working and work culture in America converged on r/antiwork, that became the “real” version of the sub, regardless of what it had been for years before.
This article might as well be titled “You Don’t Even Go Here!”
lol, only liberals manage to be pissed when their movement grows too much
yeah the right is guilty of sheeping around too much, but the left is the opposite - they won’t unite unless they feel 100% aligned. Stop purity testing each other and embrace the guy who is just here at talk about how much their bosses suck.
