      I dont believe this is inherent. It’s not human nature. Its social conditioning as a result of living in a capitalist society.

      In a capitalist society, yes. Absolutely a lot of people would do this. But even then, its not everyone.

      I live in capitalism but i would certainly not force someone to pay me to let them out of a trap. Especially if they were suffering. And i would never befriend someone that would.

      I would think they were a cunt.

          If I’m ever told that I belong on a board of directors at a company, I’m going to Luigi myself. I would have deserved it

          I really dont mind sucking at capitalism.

          That’s like saying “you suck at giving people cancer” or saying “you are terrible at being a complete dildo”

          Yeah. I am fine with that.

        My problem here: many of us are friends with one of the other person that thinks investing money in the stock market is a good idea and taxes for the rich is bad. Those people are already forcing others to pay to get out of a trap, they just have a few middle men.
