Yeah, and these ♥genuinely-caring♥ capitalists always end up either bankrupt, or Bezos.

I don’t believe that.

Of course not. Bezos is spending a lot to make sure you don’t.

I don’t even know what you’re talking about. Why would Bezos be spending money to make me believe it is possible for small companies who can treat their employees well, all the while making me think even worse of him for how he treats his own employees? That makes no sense.

Bezos doesn’t want you to abolish private property.

If you believe it possible to build a company that serves real humans rather than the accumulation of capital and the extractive nature of corporations, you will try that instead.

No. That is wrong. Saying it is possible to generate less harm within a system does in no way mean I don’t think the system is flawed and rigged and incentives bad behaviour.

Bezos doesn’t mind you thinking that the system is flawed and rigged and incentives bad behaviour.

Bezos is happy as long as you don’t abolish private property.

Ah, sorry, I didn’t realise I was the sole arbiter of private property and it was within my hands to abolish it. I’ll get on that first thing tomorrow, send me the papers.
