"Hello, I would like to benefit from society without contributing to it"

there are ways to contribute that aren't 40+ hours a week.

And I'm not seeing a single comment in here that is saying otherwise.

The AntiWork movement already peaked so I’m not sure what the Lemmy instance is trying to accomplish.

Nah, like a land lord. The CEO of my company is a very productive person.
