Comment on Extreme wealth inequality is baked in to the system
chuckleslord@lemmy.world 6 days agoNo, what?
The premise is “people wouldn’t choose to do certain work unless they were coerced into”. I retorted “I want that work you think I’d have to be coerced into doing”
Manual labor is undervalued, making it “one of the jobs that people have to be coerced into doing”. By stating my desire to do it above “high value, mental labor”, I undercut their assertion that there are jobs that require coercion to get performed. There are people who want to clean, cook, do manual labor, do administrative work, accounting, cleaning up shit, building, basically everything a society needs to exist. Coercion need not apply.
