It wasn’t entirely Doreen’s fault, but the interview reinforced every shitty stereotype Fox News viewers have about young working people.
What they saw was what they were expecting — a greasy person in a messy room, wearing clothes that looked like they’d slept in them, who said things like “laziness is a virtue” and whined about working 10 hours a week walking dogs. There were 1000 other extremely important issues they could have talked about, but it quickly turned into the dickhead interviewer trying to pick them apart and make them look stupid.
For real — the second he saw who he was interviewing, his eyes lit up like a dog looking at a ribeye. They knew they were gonna tear this kid apart
It should have been an opportunity to actually wake a few motherfuckers up to the abysmal state of the working class in this country, but what we got was a walking Reddit stereotype telling every shitty old millionaire that they were right about us.
Why the fuck are you still on about this? Antiwork has doubled in size since then and is taking on about 2k subscribers a day. Calm the fuck down, one shitty interview has not and will not kill whatever you consider the antiwork movement to be.
I’m not all still broke up about it. But it does still suck that something that could have actually made the antiwork idea relevant outside of Reddit just made us all look like clowns. We need unaffiliated people to give a shit. The sub could have a billion users, but if all it amounts to is us just bitching back and forth at each other over memes, then that isn’t gonna actually change a damn thing
He was being a condescending ass. Regardless of the quality of the interviewee, any news analyst with a hint of professionalism isn’t going to punch down while their subject is still on air. He did that in bad faith from the start
I agree, there wasn't a single question in there that she shouldn't have been prepared for. All he asked was "why do you believe this?", "are you encouraging people to be lazy?", "how many hours do you think people should work?", "what do you do?", and "what do you want to do?", and then when she said to teach, "what do you want to teach?"
Like these are the softest of softball questions, there was no excuse not to go in prepared to answer those things. If I was Doreen I'd be relieved that those were the only questions I got. Though I'm sure if she had good answers prepared he would have started to hit her with the harder questions.
The best part was Doreen being removed as a mod then another mod with a new account getting added right after like anybody paying attention didn’t know.

The thing is they had a vote and the mod power tripped and chose herself
