The corporate types behind such actions aren't people.
Oh stop. That's like that discussion about not dehumanizing neonazis.
And the answer here is the same: the corporate types don't see us common folks as human. They see us as a product at best, and disposable resources at worst. It took a lot of effort to get to the point in which the rights of workers, the rights of consumers and the rights of people in other roles, to be recognized. Real sacrifice, even.
So we gotta do what it takes to keep those rights, because, again, those corporate types don't see us as people. So, fuck them. They aren't people either.
Clearly the only response to people who want to treat you as subhuman is to treat them with love and kindness so they can take advantage of the situation.
This is how every "civility" rule on the internet eventually becomes a "don't sass the nazis" rule.
If you want to be taken advantage of, good for you. Don't volunteer me for it, thanks.
When you treat your fellow people with monstrous inhumanity, you have chosen to become an inhuman monster.
You see them and see people just like you. I see them and also see people just like you.
Why are you?
Concession accepted.
Such a Rick thing to say.
