I think it's just the over-simplification, not of tradeoffs of type of work vs one's own health insurance, but of just classifying some jobs as pure evil, and also the nowadays-tepid lesswrong writing style.

And no gods no masters is the sort of thing you might see someone say right before they become the leader, ban religion, and cause mass starvation.
