Why are so many people ok with a world where you have no say in what your employer does, and they can do whatever they want to suit their bottom line?

Though I wonder how much of this is actually corpophilia and how much is people hiding behind it because they don't want to say "I'm glad these people I disagree with got fired".

Here are some threads to show what I'm talking about:

r/technology

r/conservative (though this one feels like cheating)

r/news

r/bayarea

r/google

hacker news

washington post comments

etc..

I'm not sure why you think actively working with the IDF is a passive act, but not working with them is actively supporting terrorism, but it undermines any argument you're trying to make

Makes it easy to dismiss my argument without bothering to think about it, you mean. Just take abortion, then. Or "tax is theft", or right to bear arms, or any of a thousand other beliefs you probably don't agree with.

why yes, having an improper argument makes it easier to dismiss. This isn't like a typo or missed word that you can say I'm trying to weasle out of talking with you, it's a completely skewed perspective on the situation that makes it impossible for us discuss because we'd effectively be having completely different arguments.

Nice, you avoided having to think on a self-imposed technicality. Real intellectual rigor there.
