I just say "no". And if they ask why because "I don't want to." The truth is; I move around a lot and I probably called in on my mobile anyway. But I don't owe anyone a reason. Capitalists tend to have unhealthy wordviews around selfishness and entitlement and expectations on other people. I don't participate in that. I value my cognitive capacity. Finding the email, joining, adjusting my environment, approving all the prompts, sideloading the app.... just no. Don't be pretentious. My time is valuable. Get me to the page with a phone number and lets make this easy. Then I can go about my day and we can have this conversation at the same time.

> Capitalists tend to have unhealthy wordviews around selfishness and entitlement and expectations on other people. I find it funny when people make such sweeping generalizations. You think this is unique or more prevalent in capitalists? That’s curious. Especially since I think most individuals can’t even be classified into “capitalist” or something else. I don’t think I have a market theory as part of my identifiers.

  I characterize capitalists as folks who consistently and enthusiastically put the needs of an organization before the needs of people. You can call them businessmen if you like. My personal favorite is bootlicker.

    I'm with you. We tell children: "no is a complete sentence". Many can be noxious, filling volume like gas. Capitalizing! I will choke the next person who reminds me, a middle-aged adult with responsibilities, that humans are social creatures. I know all too well. I either don't want the company they're offering or owe mine elsewhere, thanks. Don't make it weird. It's often not out of genuine personal interest, but business :/ Also, finally: living here has required more capitalistic behavior than I would have chosen.
