Yeah, but if everyone decreases work, you get less production and less stuff, and then increased poverty. It’s easy to say more stuff isn’t always better from the comfort of the Internet, but the truth is that abundance of material production is responsible for the relative extreme wealth we do have today.
And poverty is many many times lower today than it was a few hundred years ago before capitalism. Even entertaining the idea that it’s not is completely insane. Capitalism correlates extremely strongly with low poverty country to country within a single time period, as well. 2023, for example.

Not really.
You mean the poverty we already have thanks to capitalism?
Yes, really.

No. Not really.
Did you come up with this galaxy-brained tripe before or after considering the crushing 3rd world poverty that sustains global capitalism?
According to whom, Clyde? Capitalists?
If your argument is basically just conspiracy theory, than I don’t know what to tell you.
Capitalism is a conspiracy theory now?
Hold on… I need to fetch the popcorn. Your little right-wing logic pretzel is about to go full Chernobyl.
You’re not proving anything, just stating vague and baseless claims, and concluding they mean what you want them to mean.
They’re responding to such meaningless bullshit in an entirely appropriate way. If you want a discussion, you need to have something to discuss.
