I say "Rich people get huge tax breaks, why??" you say "well that's how tax law works, why get angry?"
I say "I'm a small business getting exploited by a goliath!" you say "well everyone is playing by the rules so it's their fault"
Systems are so biased by large actors and for some reason everyday people jump in and defend them? We should totally take everything in critically but this defense doesn't seem reasonable at all.
Everyday people jump in and defend them because sometimes the big company is doing the right thing? Like some of us have been around since 25-30 years ago when the OSI was created and Linux was taking off. We have had these arguments for decades.
There seems to be a generational knowledge gap where people of a certain age think there large actors are permanent and evil. That’s plainly untrue. Often the scrappy upstart is being unethical.
