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

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 In this context, the concept of a "job" for common people is outdated, because their work is not needed anymore.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.
