You know those two things aren’t the same, being hyperbolic does not help and no one should be impressed by the snark.



I think it's a pretty good comparison.


The relationship between the worker and the organisation is different.

With Amazon it’s purely transactional. Amazon isn’t promising anything but money to their warehouse workers.

With Moon’s cult, the cult defined their follower’s world view.


Then you are stupid. Not being able to tell the difference between brainwashed sleep deprivation working for starvation rations and a mediocre warehouse job is why we still have problems with major labor issues.

You have to be able to recognize the degrees of things and accurately measure problems and improvements.

Hyperbole means nobody that disagrees with you will even spend a second paying attention to you and the people who are on your side are weakened substantially because it’s easy to dismiss them by comparing them to you.

You are not helping. You are the problem.


>...you are stupid...

The argument of somebody who is heavily invested.
