Just for funsies, I spent like, 5 minutes envisioning what I would do if I were to somehow be asked to be on TV news representing a movement that is ostensibly about not working.

I would dress up in some nice clothes, business-casual at the least. Make sure I'm properly groomed as well. I am, for those few minutes, the movement for the people out there in TV land. What the 40+ crowd and the people in the "Establishment" see is what they associate with my movement and it helps if I look just like them.

I would then probably go on into talking about why so many people are dropping out. Why we're having this "Great Resignation." The growing influence and monopolization of power by corporate entities and their increasing collusion with the State driving small mom-and-pop stores out of business. The lack of housing in major urban areas thanks to massive multinational and national corporations buying all the real-estate and influencing local government zoning laws to prohibit additional housing from being built. The massive amounts of immigration (legal and illegal) flooding the labor market with cheap labor and driving wages down. Talking points that the radical (or maybe classical?) left and right would agree on, which they seemed to be doing ok with back in, say, Occupy Wall Street before that got coopted by the race and LGBT wokeists. There is a lot of material that could be mined there to help the old establishment types watching cable news have a better understanding of why this whole "antiwork" thing came about.

All of the above however, would take actual work.
