but I see this worse:
individual humans vs the collective groups which we come together to form;
like employees vs their own company
humans vs corporations but corporations are made (in part) from humans.
heck, it's like we're having some kind of an autoimmune reaction: the cells in a single individual human fighting against the individual human.
...but hey, for most of my life people chose to say I'm crazy and ignore what I say.
- nathan_compton 4y ago"like employees vs their own company" For most employees their company is not their own. They don't own any of it. Employees, in my opinion, have no other obligation to their employers beyond what is outlined in their contract and any employee who thinks otherwise has been bamboozled. Never settle for a "sense of ownership." If a company wants me to have a "sense of ownership" they should let me actually own part of the company.
- noorkersz 4y agothis is also why I consider typical employment to be "slavery, but partial". But comparing employment to slavery is a taboo
- robertlagrant 4y agoIt's not taboo, it's just misleading. It's like someone falling over, grazing their knee and saying, "Wow, that was like dying, but partial". It doesn't share enough key attributes with the thing you're comparing it to to be useful.
- hulitu 4y agoTBH slavery looks a bit too extreme. I think employment is more like prostitution.
