The Great Resignation? More Like the Great Renegotiation

This is honestly my gripe with r/antiwork. It could be (and sometimes is) a hub for a mature conversation towards unionizing and regaining meaningful industry in the US, but it choses to be the place for edgy workers from all ages to declare themselves "marxists". As if they thrived on the ever-diminishing amount of gasps that word incites. Like a bunch of teenagers trying to out-edge everyone else. Hard to read.

It's reddit. The chances of mature conversation are close to zero precisely because it's largely populated by edgy teenagers.

edit: There are many smaller communities on reddit that do have mature conversation and content, they're just vastly outnumbered by the edgy teen clickbait content we see on the front page.

I'm convinced that subreddit will eventually get banned. Some members are radicalized and I see calls for violence very frequently.

It seems uncharitable to assume people are analyzing society through a Marxist lens for "gasps". I personally believe that Marxism is a useful tool for understanding the interplay between the powerful elites in our society and the state. I also have a degree in political science (in addition to my CS grad degree), so I feel confident in saying that I'm not an edgy teen and that I have the academic background to apply Marxist analysis to contemporary issues.
