- 3qz 5y agoWhat is the purpose of this comment?
- Nasrudith 5y agoTo call out the woefully common hyperbolic rhetoric of calling having to compare the default natural state of being, having to work to survive as slavery. Take any given natural environment no matter how idylic and stick bands of naked humans in it. Plus the whole "demand something with zero regard as to the hows of the process and what it would take to maintain it".
- acomar 5y ago> natural state of being, having to work to survive yes, the natural state of all human beings is to derive value for shareholders. the profit of our masters before all. it's just in our DNA. to live requires maintenance and upkeep and work. to live together in a society means doing things for one another. but where in that do you derive a natural state in which people produce things so someone else may profit on their work, and keep the greater part of the fruit? people aren't objecting to the notion of necessary labor. they're objecting to being forced - literally, by threat of starving on the streets - by the organization of the society to labor on behalf of others for produce they will never enjoy.
- nsxwolf 5y agoThe purpose, I’m guessing, is to point out that your comment was hyperbolic. I share this impression.
- refurb 5y agoIt's a drive by shit-post is why. Nothing to be learned, just some words, poorly thought out. Nothing to respond to, no intellectual engagement possible. Would have been better if it was never posted in the first place.
