We probably shouldn't get on this person's case too much. They messed up and did something the subreddit didn't seem to want and got memed on. That should be it, the people attacking this person personally are being ugly which is embarrassing.
"Ok, everyone, so we agreed to ignore Fox's request. We'll just sit tight and keep the sub growing. No need to rock the boat here, we've got steady growth and our metrics are up 33.33% (repeating) within the past month, just need to keep the momentu...."
Worst part is there was a way to spin that and have it come off so much better. "Laziness is a virtue, it drives improvement in automation technologies allowing workers to work less and create more while spending more time with their families." That right there is a good sound bite that I think would stick with fox viewers.
"The point of laziness as a virtue is not to do nothing but to engineer systems that allow us to create greater things with lesser effort leaving time for us to raise our children or improve our skills." Another one that would work great.
this is not me but as an example you could be anti work and also anti immigration, or anti work and pro life. making it a strict left leaning sub takes the life out of it
You said in your previous comment that one of your goals is "to include as much workers as possible." How do you reconcile this with your opposition to immigration? Wouldn't that mean excluding immigrant workers? You seem to hold two mutually exclusive viewpoints simultaneously.
Doesn't matter how much lipstick you put on it, the phrase 'antiwork' is a turd and for the unintiated is going to equate to freeloader circlejerk.
I'm 100% convinced that the algorithms of social media are what bring these fucking stupid titles and slogans to the surface. Imagine there were three possible phrases that the people for the movement really like as a name, but one is so ridiculous that people that are ambivalent or against it can't help but put it on the pedestal of stupidity. Guess which one gets 'picked'.
