You mismanage your company to signal virtue and you're proud of it? Crazy

Gaslighting actually decent business people on the internet is a very bad look for you. I'm not insane, I just have values and principles you don't understand. If I'm virtue signaling, then you're signaling you are an unreasoning a**. It's hard to imagine that you have anything constructive to contribute to a business conversation, when you see someone who acts out of ethics and assume they're acting performatively. That just means you don't believe ethics are real. That's a very dangerous attitude in a business person. Curious about the company that you own, what its business model is. I bet you're in crypto.

  That's a lot of projection going on. It's deeply unethical to squander economic resources on your vanity. The elephant in the room is that your employees are not starving Africans who deserve charity far more. Your actions cause the death of starving children who would have otherwise been fed if you had not overpaid your rich employees so you can feel good about yourself. You're a bad person. And no I'm not in crypto. I've been saying it has no lawful utility so voluminously that mods have asked me to stop trolling crypto people. So we can establish your assumptions and fundamental intuition and instincts are very inaccurate. You have a broken compass and it has caused you to become disconnected from first principles of microeconomics. What is your company name and who are the unlucky shareholders you're victimizing? Last, I hope you can learn the difference between kindness and niceness. The former is legitimate while the latter is what you do - a manipulative social strategy, often employed by predators with subclinical psychopathology, to ingratiate yourself to others in leu of merit.

    First off you yourself are projecting that I am squandering anything. I would argue that what you say is squandering is simply not taking advantage of customers and workers to deliver your crypto scam. You would argue that you're being virtuous. Now you're charging me with causing death of children. f** you. Laying the charge that I'm being nice to manipulate, while being manipulative. Anyways if you want to argue that you need to reduce your workers to squalor and keep them there in order to be a virtuous business person... Guess what? I'm very comfortable with you calling me a bad person then. Because to you the good person is one who enslaves customers and workers alike. That's absurd to me. Anyways, your argument is that a large mega national corporation should exploit the cheapest market because that saves lives in that market. I argue that they only use that market because it is exploited, and their strategy will keep it that way. So they are perpetuating the conditions that cause the deaths you are trying to prevent. Anyways you keep making heroes of multi-billion dollar corporations, and I'll keep trying to dismantle them. Not going to tell you my company and have you attack it, but I'll point out that I'm the sole investor, and every worker gets a full copy of our engineering stack because we run open source. I'm not overpaying anyone. I'm paying everyone the fair share of the work that they produce. You want me to reduce them to serf's because that maximizes the companies utility and is good Management in your mind. Paying someone less because you can get away with it is an abuse. You're going to keep projecting that I'm being manipulative and nice rather than simply having some ethics and having worked very hard to free myself from under the thumb of abusive bosses. So f** you.

    Also I'm not going to respect the mental health assessments - which you continue to persist in - and which I call gas lighting - of some ableist who thinks that subclinical pathology is a bad thing or relevant to this conversation. What you are engaging in is character assassination and ad hominem reasoning, while addressing my arguments with gross mischaracterization. You're approaching with an immoral and disgusting approach to business, where if I don't exploit the cheapest poorest labor in a way that won't lift them up, then I'm evil. I find you creepy and disturbing. But I'm not scared of you. How could we chat voice to voice? I'm curious to see how your abusive unethics, illogic, and harassment tactics will unfold in a voice chat. The benefit is that it will help me harden myself against counter-revolutionaries and pro-capitalists. Considered doing me the honor!
