There is a smaller number of exploiters than people who are loyal. Loyalty comes naturally to people because being loyal to your tribe was evolutionarily beneficial.
Whereas continuously exploiting others requires a mental illness such as narcissism. Perhaps by focusing on the exploiters we can reduce the damage they do to others.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoThese seem like big assertions, especially with the difficulty in even defining exploitation, and that the same person is capable of sometimes exploiting and sometimes not exploiting.
- armada651 3y agoRight, but an empathetic individual would stop the exploitation when they become aware that the exploitation is happening. The narcissistic exploiters will not stop the exploitation even if it is patently obvious, especially if the exploitation is financially rewarding to them. We don't really protect workers from that nor do we financially punish the exploiters, in fact many of them go on to be very financially successful. And as a society we have simply accepted burnout as being the fault of the individual who did not do enough to protect their work-life balance.
