[–] carabiner 3y ago ↗ Weird how this got no comments but a lot of votes... [–] Unkn0wnError 3y ago ↗ Not really weird.My opinion is that the people who upvoted this did so just because the (unhinged) premise of the article flattered their worldview.Ultimately, there isn't too much to discuss when there's so much bad faith involved.The author is clearly pushing a radical agenda, and his perspective is so drenched in ideological possession, there isn't much to learn from him.Capitalism is bad, capitalism is wrong, capitalism is warfare? Okay bye. [–] carabiner 3y ago ↗ Could be it. I was more leaning towards just bot upvotes.But if you think raising employee wages companywide vs. giving a once-off award in a splashy tv show is "radical," I don't know what to say.

Ultimately, there isn't too much to discuss when there's so much bad faith involved.
The author is clearly pushing a radical agenda, and his perspective is so drenched in ideological possession, there isn't much to learn from him.
Capitalism is bad, capitalism is wrong, capitalism is warfare? Okay bye.
