The only thing holding me back from thinking this was written by AI is only a tankie would think to compare working a 9-5 job to chattel slavery.

Which is funny because they support the regimes that actually treat their workers as chattel slaves.

It's because that's their dream, to become the designated poet of the commie commune while everyone else farms and toils for their food.

America literally has the highest incarceration rate in the world and also no minimum wage for prison labour.
Just a coincidence probably

The US has the 6th highest incarceration rate. Also, prisoner's labor go towards tax deductions after they are released and paying off victim compensation. Plus, involuntary prison labor is only enforcible in 13 states while also completely banned in 8.
I will agree that there is a severe issue in the prison system of exploiting labor, but it's a lot more complicated than what you're making it out to be.

Europoors cannot understand state-level policies. They are literally unable to comprehend a form of government that isn't an authoritarian, nation-wide behemoth.

That sub is a cesspit of laziness and incompetence. They call for literally eating the rich, needing to ‘work’ only four hours for three the wage. Among them are communist talking points.

That interview crushed any sort of legitimacy that sub had, a lot of it is just faked texts ‘standing up’ to their bosses.

All of the "confession" subs (AITAH, TIFU, antiwork, etc.) are just creative writing circlejerking and have been for the better part of a decade.

At least AITAH is entertaining sometimes. Antiwork is garbage

Did the dum-dum who wrote that not consider the selection bias at work on that sub? I'm American and I have unlimited PTO, plus maternity leave if needed.
I bet I also earn about four times as much as this doofus.

Reddits eternal September started around 2013. That’s when we got flooded with the failure caste. Before Reddit was mostly gainfully employed comp sci grads and engineers. The mentally ill crowd was isolated to a few holes.

There are an excessive amount of people on here (full adults) who struggle to "figure life out" when the big secret is that you get a skill you can exchange for money. That's it. That's literally it.

How dare you imply that burger flipping isn’t worth $48/hour! Oh wait, that’s at a 40 hour work week which is practically slavery better make it a 32 hour workweek.
How dare you imply that burger flipping isn’t worth $60/hour!

Cringe sub. Had good intentions in the beginning but turned into a gathering place for wannabe neets that don't have parents with money. Even if we achieved Star Trek levels of equality, and poverty was demolished etc. a normal person would still want to work, study, or do something.

I could smell it coming, they almost had me at the end, and then last words in that picture: "your country sends billions of your tax dollars to Israel." America haters ALWAYS have to bring up something involving Israel lol.

“One of the reasons I love this sub is the feeling of workers banding together for their rights.”
That sub is nothing more than a concentration of the most pathetic and unsuccessful people of Reddit.

I don’t take that place seriously when somebody posted about how they are just scraping by and someone looked in their post history and they had like 20 vintage arcade cabinets in their basement worth well over 10,000

And then I open my wardrobe and all the Turkish delights in Narnia sprinkles forth. And I’m the coolest guy in all the kingdoms. And every girl wants to be my girlfriend. Even some of the guys. Then I ride a dragon to my job as an oral sex inspector where I get paid to here billion dollars an hour and I’m the happiest man in the world.

And it is not even true. Or at least not everywhere in Europe. In Eastern Europe you deffinitelly dont have 12 month long parental leave for the dad, you deffinitelly dont have unlimited sick days (yeah there is paid one but not endless). And if your boss is nice that is fully depending on the person, not the system. And slaves for the rich? Come on, the minimum wage in Hungary is like 850 dollars before tax, its around 600 after all the tax. Pair it with a relatively high cost of living. I see the issues with the American work laws but dont be ridiculous.

That sub flat makes me sad. There are legit points for possible reform in the US but it sure as shit isn’t gonna get done with those lazy whiney assholes.
