IMHO there's two main groups

  • "Wage labor is inherently unfair, we need to build a new economic system."

  • "fuck work amirite guys?"

those groups definitely over lap though.

Significantly though? You can find many groups with an overlap that doesn’t really mean anything.

In this case, I am in the group that over laps which is why I mentioned it.

Same here, I think both venting and discussion of solutions are helpful.

[–] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago

Totally agree.

The former moved to "workreform", at least on Reddit. The latter group are the dog walkers that stayed put.

Work reform are liberals who don't want a new economic system. For example they want a higher minimum wage, with wage labor still existing. Maybe they're a little bit of the latter, when it's not too impolite.
