    why would giving up my job be a bad thing? i don’t dream of labor. I’m also against people being fired through but let’s not act like having job is natural, that’s one of the most pervasive myths of capitalism

      You are confusing work with labour. Having a job isn’t natural, but doing stuff is. And if you actually stop doing stuff - i. e. just lie in bed, doing nothing - your body quickly start to suffer and then pretty much decompose.

      I would go as far as to say you need labour to be healthy. You need some kind of physical labour (be that sport, gym or something else) to be fit, and for your body to function properly. And you need to use your head to not be bored and go insane - to read, to think, to solve problems etc

          If they were capable of thinking that far ahead they wouldn’t be so dead-set on wrecking the environment.

          correct, if the means of production were owned by the oppressed then we wouldn’t need to buy anything when just taking it is free

        no, where did I say that? I’m disabled and I can’t work, so I rely on begging people to keep me alive
