From the posts I have read in /r/antiwork I would not like to employ any of the posters, I would not want to be a coworker to any of them either. I'm not convinced that the world needs to have everyone working, but if it comes down to a shortage of food, healthcare or consumable goods, the workers should be fed before the slackers.

Some of the people in /r/antiwork see these shortages as artificial or caused by a society that funnels labor toward profit instead of toward need, but to your other point, there are a lot of people on that reddit who are incredibly naive or just have a chip on their shoulder.

> shortages as artificial

from a objective POV many but not all are mostly artificial, but not because of someone planing it or anything like that, but because of emergent behavior of our economical system and the complexity of supply chains.

Sadly all of this is very hard to change.

Especially with our world currently heading into a not so grate direction in nearly every sector and most countries...
