Being a harder worker isn't something to be proud of, friend.
That depends on context but if you don't own your company ypu shouldn't be giving your job your all.
Yeah, conservatives like to randomly plug phrases of propaganda like unfunny inside jokes. Depending on my relationship with them I do one of the following.
- Ignore if I'm not that close. Maybe roll my eyes a bit.
- Push back on it if we're in the context of world events/news/politics.
- If we're close enough, re-direct the culture war bullshit interjections with interjections of class war. If your friend sees it fit to just randomly call society lazy, you can also randomly call the upper capitalist class lazy government-teat sucking hoarders.
It’s just easier to hate.
People choose easy over ‘better’ as a rule.
…and, it’s just easier to hate and be angry than to work through the prejudices, and inner demons you may carry with you.
Inner work is much, MUCH harder to do. I have done some serious physical labour in my life, so I know what I’m comparing here (including the day in/day out of that life).
I don't understand how someone can go their whole life, never taking a look inside.
Yeah, they had the choice between making an effort to be a better person, or simply deluding themselves that they are already better, all their negative traits are in-fact positive traits, everyone else is the problem for suggesting they aren't already perfect.
Delusion is easier if you can trick yourself that easily.
"if your position is that you CHOSE a job that makes you work on MLK Day, that makes you a dumber worker".
Guy's a dumbass because he's taking it on the chin from his boss, acting like it's fine, and then attacking everybody except the assholes. What a little bitch.
I can't find it, but there was a great meme of a tombstone that said, "worked really really hard". I'd also add that I acknowledge"blue collar" work being tough and important too. That's it.
Let him realize that everyone's doing their best.
you didn't ask him if he thinks for one fucking second that any of the shitheel CEO/executive suite trump fluffers he's generating revenue for are working today?
They've been built up to get angry about specific topics in a way that bypasses critical thought.
Did he work on xmass and thanksgiving and 4th of july and memorial day and labor day or was in an ivory tower on those days and not a hard worker. does he take any days off. I mean if hes not working and other people are at any time then they are the hard workers. Im ok with not being a hard worker though. Im more of a work smarter type person but his type is good to.
There is a reason, it's a psychological phenomenon called narcissism.
Not sure about moist ;p haha, but he doesn't sound like a friend. At the very least, not one I for one, would consider so.
Even if you were better off than him, not that it sounds like it or I am inferring it, he shouldn't have to be an outright prick.
Playing the devils advocate though, reading your conversations without the right tone, I am wondering if he might have thought you were bragging about the day off.

I have friends like this too.
Tankies are pretty bad too but at least they only exist online.
