Like this displays such a profound ignorance of how companies start that it only makes sense from the perspective of "nothing is ever created, commodities simply magically appear from the ether, and can only be stolen".

Jeff Bezos accepted a 300k gift from his parents to start Amazon, and forced his employees to work on bare concrete floor without chairs or tables or work clothes to save money, while he acted as a work shy piece of poo poo, in case people with working brains (sorry, Split Pea) didn't know about his bootstrap beginnings.

And since then he never bothered to learn respect towards the people who actually built his company while he was sitting on his rear end, collecting revenue from his capital.

Yeah, an individual has never created anything of significant value, but unlike you sometimes people create things as a collective. Too bad you never managed to fit into one.

So, just so we're clear on your beliefs, you are incapable of creating anything of note, and any value you have comes from someone else (which you have every right to take)

Are some more productive than others in context though? Amazon started with Bezos, his wife, and one other guy. If his wife and the other guy cut him out (since they were doing all the work) would there be no Amazon, but some other company they created?

Global warming is barely a big deal at all compared to the trajectory we used to be on. We'll have to do a lot of environmental engineering projects along certain shorelines and it will be a little warmer and wetter in some places, big fucking deal.

I'd love to hear how my message of "hey guy, maybe that chip on your shoulder is alienating you from others. You're most likely a human engaging in the very human act of channeling your resentment towards the Other, and if you can't find the Spirit of Forgiveness then this act will prevent you from forming mutually beneficial relationships" is a misanthropic one.

Lol that's exactly what the Other is. People don't justify their anti-social behavior with "see those guys over there? They've had a real poor go at life. They're beaten down, weak, and dejected which means it'll be real easy for us to take all their stuff". The story is that *they're* the one who had the poor go at life, and so when they're stealing and commiting wanton acts of violence it's because they're actually a hero righting the wrongs of someone that's much more well to do.
