This is what the oppressor vs oppressed narrative will get you. A constant state of trying to identify the group that is exploiting another even when such thing does not exist.
- cliffy 7y agoThis thought is incredibly reductive and dismissive of abuse. Not all relationships are between oppressor and oppressed, obviously. It does not mean they do not exist. The history of capitalism is especially rife with clear examples of those in power exploiting those lacking it. Power being capital or wealth.

- nathan_long 7y agoYour comment sounds more like a soap box than interacting with the actual article. > In one study, participants who read that an artist was strongly passionate about his job said it was more legitimate for the boss to exploit the artist than those who read the artist wasn’t as passionate. This finding extended to asking for work far beyond the job description, including leaving a day at the park with family and cleaning the office bathroom. This is not normal and professional behavior.

Now the question for that billion is, are the Waltons worth eating? Which I suppose depends on how badly the crops have failed that year.
