I'm working on a skit of sorts that mocks all the DIE nonsense that has exploded into the mainstream these past few years, and it just hit me that laziness will eventually be classified as a disease similar to what happened with addiction.
So when you ask why your lazy brother who sleeps until 4pm each day and doesn't work should have the same things that a 90hr per week truck driver has, they'll claim the "The Science" is clear. Your brother is a lazy piece of shit through no fault of his own. He was born with a disease and there's nothing he can do about it!
I know this isn't terribly interesting, and this is already sort of happening with disability cons, but does anyone have any other predictions for the crazy things we'll see from field of psychiatry in the coming years?
laziness will be declared counterrevolutionary
Only after the revolution succeeds and the "right people" are in charge.
Until then it will be encouraged as yet anothet corrosive that is useful for dissolving the current society.
Eh, after the revolution, they're desperately going to need people in the coal mines and slave pits. I fully expect the "work will set you free" ethos to be adopted once the commie utopia hits.
That's the more likely outcome.
Socialists and communists need workers to prop up their failing systems. That's why various countries in the EU are raising retirement ages. Classifying laziness as a disease would allow people to get out of work. They cannot afford to let that happen.
