    I dont believe this is inherent. It’s not human nature. Its social conditioning as a result of living in a capitalist society.

    In a capitalist society, yes. Absolutely a lot of people would do this. But even then, its not everyone.

    I live in capitalism but i would certainly not force someone to pay me to let them out of a trap. Especially if they were suffering. And i would never befriend someone that would.

    I would think they were a cunt.

      you must suck at capitalism then and would literally never be able to chair a publicly traded company maximizing profits, no matter the cost, for shareholders then. (i say lovingly)

        I really dont mind sucking at capitalism.

        That’s like saying “you suck at giving people cancer” or saying “you are terrible at being a complete dildo”

        Yeah. I am fine with that.

        If I’m ever told that I belong on a board of directors at a company, I’m going to Luigi myself. I would have deserved it

      My problem here: many of us are friends with one of the other person that thinks investing money in the stock market is a good idea and taxes for the rich is bad. Those people are already forcing others to pay to get out of a trap, they just have a few middle men.
