In 2022, the theologian Tricia Hersey published “Rest Is Resistance,” a best-selling manifesto that calls all people, but especially Black people, to slow down, not as a means toward future productivity but as an act of defiance.

Right. Your coworker is not a lazyass, he is a freedom fighter! Join in his struggle and do less! Slacktivists unite!

Ah, so that's what happened to me this semester.

I had a black student in one of my classes, he showed up the first day and then I didn't see him at all for the next three weeks so I was legally obligated to report him to the registrar's office and have him removed from the class.

But, he wasn't just a lazy bum. He was actually fighting The Patriarchy and White Supremacy!

There's a reason why Cape Town is constantly on the verge of running out of clean water. And it has nothing to do with the white engineers that built the water purification plant.

They invented “imposter syndrome” to counteract the painful self-awareness that sometimes afflicts unqualified diversity hires. Now they’ve decided to rebrand laziness and entitlement as “rest”. It’s like every negative stereotype surrounding certain demographics is so obviously true that leftists are just saying fuck it and embracing deliberate inversion of reality. Blacks aren’t bad workers - they’re resting. Women and minorities aren’t floundering in jobs they shouldn’t have - that’s just imposter syndrome.

Imposter syndrome used to be called "low self-esteem" when it wasn't being used to justify shoddy work.

Once I heard that this tendency was caused by pellagra, common in the South for quite a while.

Anyway, I am reminded of this lost classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbUwneis34E
