I don't know if this has occurred to you, but being angry because you think that others are "..Seeing the world through the ruthless capitalist work-till-you-die, climb to the top lens is detrimental to the future of the world. ..." is doing exactly what you hate: viewing everything in life as a monetary transaction, then judging the universe as a result of how much money is made. I said there's a case to be made that companies are setting up monopolies and hurting both parties in the exchange. If you'd like to make that case, do it. I'm all ears. But please (and I speak to the author of this piece more than you) -- don't fuck with me, jumping up on a soapbox and telling me how the world should be. Hell, I never thought they should cancel Gilligan's Island. How the hell should I know whether or not some random person is being exploited unless they tell me? And even then, this is an argument to be made using statistics alongside personal stories used as examples. Anybody that can put a sentence together can preach. All that takes is a lot of emotion and some rubes that like getting emotional. I'll be more blunt: the author needs to get a better game or go home. I'm open to the discussion if it can be made in a reasonable, adult manner. Grandstanding, chest-thumping, and emoting? It's great if you like drama. Just ain't hitting on much when it comes to reasoned discourse. There are a lot of folks in the world who'd rather appear as a talking head on a cable TV show yelling at another talking head than simply open their heart and try to find consensus.
