The OP graphic literally already distinguished between these two classes. The second one is the "work" you mentioned - we all seem to agree on that part - while the first one is the "sit on your fat, lazy ass while forcing others to do all the work for you". I hoped that most people here would agree that outright blatant slavery is wrong, but based on a lot of comments here, unfortunately I see that that assumption on my part was wrong. Mea culpa. !antiwork!antiwork@lemmy.ml is oddly pro-slavery I now understand.

Also, you seem to be arguing for literally all of the sides of this, literally all at once. "We do basically everything ourselves" = "we do the work"... as we... both are saying? Except "Nobody likes the noun", except I guess when everyone in the South does it, and me too.

Btw, every single nation on Earth has a "south" - from your username, am I to assume that you are from South Africa?

Listen,

Wow, starting the conversation with that right off the bat, huh? :-P
