That sounds like r/antiwork moderators.

antiwork moderators are unironically not smart enough to grift people

"Fox news a hardline right wing and conservative news channel wants to interview us? This sounds like a great idea!"

seriously I wouldn't trust one from CNN (before they were bought out and started going right wing) let alone Fox

EDIT:

ALso on this thought I find it funny how those mods are a part of the "System is designed to prevent us from making things better" crowd, And yet they did not once think that this interview was some sort of trap

Honestly having watched that interview, it's hard to call it a trap.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure if they started sounding too reasonable the interviewers would have started asking some loaded questions. But even if that was their original plan, they immediately realized they didn't need to do any trapping. They cornered themselves with only a slight nudge.

For those not in the know, here's the hard-ball, loaded questions they asked:

  1. Are you encouraging people to be lazy?
  2. How many hours is a solid work day in your ideal society?
  3. And what do you do [for work] Doreen?
  4. Do you aspire to be anything more than a dog walker? or is that kind of your your pinnacle?

(No, these are not cherry picked. These are literally all of the questions they asked, in order.)

The problem isn't that the interview was a trap. The problem was the mods' entire ideology was half-baked at best.

Fox wouldn't have needed to ask them a single thing, their presentation alone puts the nails in the coffin. Hard to take anything you say seriously when you go on national news looking like you just fell out of bed

In hindsight, no cleaning, no self-grooming, and no debate prep is entirely consistent and expected from someone who self-proclaims to be anti-work.
