    There is a reason to be a dick about it. Because I see your perspective as a moral failing. A flaw in your personality that shows a high degree of selfishness. It’s like saying “there’s no reason to be a dick” when a racist kindly explains his ideals. They are abhorrent and that reflects onto the speaker.

    You belittle the worker and in turn me, and everyone I hold dear. Abstracting it and dehumanizing the concept of labor so that you can maintain control of your own lil slice of the world on the backs of your workers is abhorrent to me.

      Ah yes, I can see the clear line from “every business does not lend itself to direct democracy” to racism and dehumanization. Though I do appreciate a good ad hominem from time to time.

      That whole response rant is crass, alarmist, and most of all specious. Luckily you made my point for me: people (or worker) can simultaneously have value, as you surely do as a person, but have not a fucking clue what they are talking about in some areas. In those areas, asking for your opinion is… well, a clear and obvious mistake.

      Have a great time with all those you hold dear and good luck with any directly democratic companies you start. 👍
