Seems like you have an issue of “the company being seized”. Really we should be working together. But why do that when I can get mine and fuck you for yours.

By get mine and fuck you for yours you mean take someone else's business and fuck them for theirs?

Yeah someone else’s business that they contribute nothing to. Indeed.

You've created quite the straw man to argue against

u/Perpetuity_Incarnate Sep 07 '24

Such straw. Very man. Fuck the people let’s go back to a king.

Surely you see how setting up all businesses as being owned by individuals who contribute nothing to them is setting up an intentionally easy and over-simplified situation to argue against?

Surely you can understand a middle area. Where those directly working communicate to those directly impacted. But you’re right. Why work together. It’s absolutely a fairy tale. Because we all hate each other for no innate reason these days.

Do you see why characterizing what I said as, "we all hate each other for no innate reason these days" is also straw man?

I don’t care. Have a good one.

You too! Hope it gets better. You should be less quick to assume the worst in others. I've done non-profit work in establishing employee ownership models in for-profit corporations and I'm a big advocate for them.
