Sorry, I don't think it's okay for profit to exist at all, we have a basic political disagreement on that.

Profit = theft.

@Jyoti @jaredwhite What you say could be argued on a theoretical level. But the way our societies operate today, profits are an important element. For instance, as a business owner I am legally required to intend making a profit, otherwise I might lose my business license.

I do see what you mean but I don't care that a capitalist law says that capitalism is essential. That's exactly the same as a slave-owners' law saying slave-owning is essential.

Fuck the law.

I suspect we'll never agree on this so it's kind of pointless debating, haha. Sorry if I come over as a nuance-less Marxist but it's what I am. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In the meantime, live long and prosper!

@Jyoti @jaredwhite @harry

isn't the legal requirement to make money part of the issue?

Harry

@free_spleens @Jyoti @jaredwhite It can be. But that is a discussion about economical system and government, and not the current discussion, which is about a social network forgetting that its active users are the ones who built their house.

Oh no - I totally agree with you on that. We just have different solutions.
