Why would a system without exploitation be worse rather than better? Can you give an example from the real world, or is this hypothetical?

Are you actually arguing exploitation is necessary? That any system treating all people fairly will result in everybody starving?

Feel free to let others exploit you, I will keep trying for the fair system

It’s Neo, also I kinda agree. Though how to fix it is the tricky part.

It’s neon.

Some old book has a monologue where a character says “I am neon” and the context is that they see themselves as beautiful and transient.

The subtext is that the neon gas in a neon light is just a medium power is passed through to produce some useful outcome through its interaction with the coating in the lamp (light). The neon itself is thrown away when it outlived its usefulness and no one who receives the light of it cares where it went or what happened to it or why.

I guess it could be said that the sort of wealth disparity that we have shouldn’t exist

You have to be in a position to be heard. You could literally be the most popular account on lemmy, but you’d still be yelling down or laterally at people who already support you.

To punch up, you have to be on their stage.

My biggest annoyance with Lemmy is the complete lack of self awareness.

All these people shitting on you acting like there aren’t a bunch of easy-to-use alternatives. This is one of those cases where a boycott is actually feasible. So many people here with more opinion than knowledge.
