Warning: extremely toxic thread

I thought there was an antiwork community here? Anyways I'm not sure where to put this. Just kinda sucks that the interview didn't go well and that people are shitting on this person and misgendering her for not being a white male factory worker or something.

/r/antiwork is kind of in shambles rn because the mods are trying keep the discourse from spinning out of control but a ton of people there are being transphobic and turning on the mods, and of course the mods are being accused of being authoritarian for trying to run the sub.

I hope the sub can bounce back, but it's a dark day in there for sure.

    While I hope she is in a good place, she deserves a lot of the criticism coming her way for the way she handled the interview as a representative of so many people.

    This is what happens when you don't know any theory and this is what happens when you lack discipline. Discipline should be an imperative for all leftists. For as much as I agree with the ragging of social norms, presentation and preparation absolutely matter when you're trying to win the hearts and minds of people on the fence. And even the most fervent anarchist acknowledges the need for leadership. Leadership is important not just in the use of cliches.

    What she did was extremely disappointing, I'm not going to lie. She could have simply refused to take the interview with Fox News of all networks, or just pigpoopballed the entire interview. The most heinous thing here is that this Fox scumbag didn't have to show his heinous true self, he let her dig her own grave.

      She's an unpaid moderator of a social media sub-page. She deserves a bit of criticism for thinking she could handle a national interview. But the whole interview was set up to clown on the community. Jessie Waters is just doing Steven Crowder tier shit.

      She could have simply refused to take the interview with Fox News of all networks, or just pigpoopballed the entire interview.

      This obviously unsavvy person was selected because she was obviously unsavvy.

      Would have been way more entertaining if she'd had Felix-tier energy. But Felix-tier entertainers don't waste their days doing unpaid mod work to help Reddit investors make money.
