Yeah quiet quitting is great and all but have you tried chaotic working?
Like. I remember back in my grocery store cashier days I did so much crazy shit.

I don’t think quitting should be quiet. I also don’t believe in this bullshit about food costing money. We pay too much in taxes that pretty much all farms rely on for that shit. If farmers truly do need more so everyone can have free food, for fuck’s sake, give them more. Why the hell are we paying so much to kill people instead of feed people? I’d so much rather pay a farmer than the military industrial complex, and frankly, I think most people would. We have to rise up. The corporations and the errant worker actually aren’t even the biggest problem with this story. The main problem is the government is not doing their fucking job, which is to properly distribute.
Oh. Hmm. That’s how I’ve always approached my work for corporations. I don’t think it’s fair of them to ask for any more than that when they’re literally destroying our planet. Fuck 'em. Also, I mean, it’s not really quitting if they’re still working, is it? Odd terminology.
Addendum: Just ran into a good “old” quote about this: “How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush their teeth, brush their hair, and then fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?” - Charles Bukowski, Factotum, 1975. We live in slavery. We are forced to work to our deaths just to attempt staying alive. If you must work most if not all of your life just to feed and shelter yourself when those resources are abundant, that is slavery, more so when you - have - to support quite literally fatal industries to do so, and pay taxes. It is not a system of consent. It is not a system of acceptability. It is not a system where I’m gonna fucking smile and pretend everything is okay while people suffer terribly for truly no actual reason but imaginary fucking numbers that some assholes decided is more important than human lives.

The term ‘Quiet quitting’ in this context is not about quitting your job without complaining.
