I don't understand your word choice based on other remarks you've made in this thread. You seem to lean into the "exploitation has two meanings" angle to justify the word choice and how the article isn't about whether it's good or bad... But then much like the article you immediately return to obviously judgemental language like "vulnerable". In casual conversation do you talk about your coworkers in terms of vulnerability to exploitation when discussing their amenability to their job? It makes everything else you say come across as insincere.

- mattdeboard 3y agoI see you created this account STRICTLY to question my sincerity, which is interesting. But setting that aside, I just wanted to say: > obviously judgmental language like “vulnerable” I consider children to be a vulnerable population regardless of what the economics of their lives are like. So therefore, I judge the systems in the world that incentivize capitalizing upon that vulnerability. QED.
- rexpop 3y ago> It makes everything else you say come across as insincere. This person doesn't read as "insincere" to me at all. To me, they read as very deliberately and conscientiously conceding shared language and norms where possible, while also holding--and expressing!--a position on the edges of, if not beyond, this forum's Overton Window. I find myself doing the same thing, often. It's a necessary component of discussing--with strangers--broad, complex and controversial subjects. The alternative is to simply agree, or to simply disagree--and with no understanding of how one's own beliefs relate to another's!--neither of which help us grow as a society.
