I think what really happened was that r/antiwork started out as being more of a philosophical sub for people who wanted to explore the utopian but unrealistic vision of people not having to work at all. Then, later, it grew to host this larger movement of frustrated workers needing reform. The mod Doreen I believe originally founded the sub, but now is not a good representative of the larger movement. Fox News is of course happy to take advantage of that, to make the movement look bad
