Reply to comment by ILikePracticalGifts in This subreddit has a pretty serious anti-capitalist bias by Sieventer

Bullshit, I live in a third world country and have to work to survive. Nice try though.

Believing you don't have to do your fair share of work to make the world go is the opposite of common sense. You're just a lazy and entitled kid.

That is an incredibly naive view of the world. All around there are a lot of people not doing any work and living like kings while there are people working 16h shifts not being able to feed their kids.

Believing you should be able to survive without working means you expect others to not only work to support themselves but to support you as well. Now that's naive.

First of all, I don't know where you got that I think I should be able to survive without work. Not even communists believe that, that's just misinformation on how alternative economic systems should work.

Second, in the context of this subreddit specifically, people discuss a very probable future where automation is advanced enough that a dozen people and many robots will be able to produce and distribute food to millions. In this context, the concept of a "job" for common people is outdated, because their work is not needed anymore.

The cognitive dissonance is astonishing.

I was responding to your comment calling me "lazy and entitled". Therefore I said no, I'm not lazy, I work to survive, I pay all my bills and I take care of my home. I'm anything but lazy or entitled. Even doing all that, I still found time to learn to have a civil argument though.
