I honestly haven’t heard about it other than on Reddit, where it’s clearly mostly college-aged people still living at home.

Yeah, no. There are a diverse group of people on r/antiwork, including some business managers and CEOs. Many boomers on there too.

Keep trying to dismiss it, folks, but change is happening, workers are unionizing and finally FIGHTING BACK

Here’s the subreddit, so people can check it out for themselves. https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/

The first question under the faqs is “why do you want to end work!”

Spoiler alert: the answer isn’t “we don’t, we just want reforms!”

I am completely fine with it! I am pro UBI. But don’t lie about the goals of the movement!

+1 this is a direct quote from their FAQ;

"We're not against effort, labor, or being productive. We're against jobs as they are structured under capitalism and the state: Against exploitative economic relations, against hierarchical social relations at the workplace."

DP. And the answer to first question is: Why do you want to end work?
Because the modern day workplace is one where you are expected to work despite your own individual needs or desires. Work puts the needs and desires of managers and corporations above and beyond workers, often to the point of abuse through being overworked and underpaid

Which is a rejection of work under current conditions, not work generally. It's much more reformist than PP is implying.

Hard core anti work folks would consider you a boomer apologist class traitor, FYI.

I’m not a boomer and not at all bothered by the anti work movement but some of you are really misunderstanding it.

I wasn’t sure about the movement at first, but the “boomer hurr durr” argument really won me over.

Here's something you have to realize: no one cares about your approval or disapproval. It's worthless.

Ditto.

I find many of the anti-work points compelling. At a minimum, I think a lot more people should be unionizing.
