The distinction that resolves the conflict is that of personal life versus business. If you or your apartment is attacked, that is personal. If run a shitty business with shitty business practices that frustrate your desired captive-market customers so much they end up tampering with your machines to route around you, that's just business.
- neilv 2y agoI most often hear "it's just business" in movies/TV, said by a character who is shooting someone in the head. A lot of business quickly reduces to personal. It's only really "just business" when you have dynamics like finance bros making a game out of competing with each other. The rest of us operate in a world of different rules and social expectations, and get caught in the crossfire of a game we were never playing.
- mindslight 2y agoSure, but how does the crossfire of business bros vs business bros differ from the crossfire of business bros vs captive-customers? You seem to be condemning the frustrated captive-customers that have reached their breaking point, when your ire should really be directed at the business bros for creating the unnecessarily stressed situation. Fewer frustrated captive-customers would just mean the business bros dial up the stress to the new breaking point.
