…Get involved in labour action and mass strikes. “Having a good attitude” is and the the implication that working harder will get you somewhere is complete bullshit.

We need to change the messaging on these ”motivational” trite phrases. It’s not the 90s.

The post doesn’t say anything about having a good attitude. These are all objectively positive things and the fact you’ve managed to find a negative slant says a lot more about your mindset than anything else.

Nonetheless I hope 2023 is your year

Even if it did say have a good attitude, this gentleman has made a massive leap that this means work harder to get somewhere. You are right, what a negative mindset…

I knew someone would say that. 😊

I’m actually doing better than I’ve been in all my 48 years.

There is an implication that one can “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” in these posts. That can be valuable but there are also increasing systemic forces that prevent people from just “having a good day” and turning things around with their attitude.
