For how long, and what is qualified as physical labor? Is stocking at night in pets mart physical labor? Do you need to have worked with deadly ingredients?

Some people have different standards for what passes muster to be a man.

That Trannie Jannie of r/antiwork is a dog walker. That counts as a physical job right?

Yes, I believe it does. This is a good point. I don’t think a labor job is necessarily the standard we should meet for voting.

We could do what the Swiss do: Voting requires a sword

The men of Appenzell are obliged to carry a sword.

The issue is that people don’t have the capacity to understand or want to understand the more tedious points of governance. And propaganda.

It’s not who has labor jobs or swords.
