      well at least this is a more specific take and, apart from duct tapers, seems roughly sensible in what it’s trying to say, if i understood correctly from my cursory glance, that jobs should be more fulfilling than making the elite feel better.

      but the tweet is doing a very bad job if this is really what they’re alluding to. the tweet’s framing is more similar to reactionary rhetoric against sex work, entertainment and art, clean jobs, and basically anything that’s not coal mining.

        reactionary rhetoric against sex work

        Oh, I can definitely see an animal doing sex work in a… Not-children’s book. I think that’s the whole idea behind furries.

          It’s the “children’s book” bit that’s the important bit though. Basically he’s advocating for a child’s view of the world, where a job requires hitting things with a hammer.

          The irony of course been that the artist who drew that book, presumably wouldn’t be considered to have a worthwhile job by this philosophy.
