The worker agrees to the terms of the trade, their labor for X dollars. There's a contract recording the agreement

You might be best off single with that attitude lol

@The Mongler the logic of legal theft applies. One could say they are being exploited

That’s what I said, I’m not a doormat, she contributes!

@{CAP}Radeon you are doing the whole “don’t tread on me” rhetoric

thats not what being ad oormat is lol

Now you’re putting words in my mouth!

Well theft as I understand it is defined by a lack of consent. When there's a contract recording consent by all parties that's a difficult claim to make

Risk - Reward. Can someone share in the assets absent of liability?

He sounds like a socialist now...

Take it out of my “cold dead hands”. Life isn’t a John Wayne movie

Hahaha---- "dont tread on me"....its actually a flag for men feeling dominted.

It's called Capitalism.

@{CAP}Radeon no he does

I’m showing him how

I’m aware you smout!

Legal theft

Again, I'm not seeing how trade = theft

@The Mongler, you just advanced to level 2!

Even if one party benefits more than the other

As long as everyone agrees to the trade, it's not theft

@The Mongler and if I manipulate you into it?

what then?

Wait taxes is a form of trade @The Mongler

On the contrary, if someone tries to take it away I’ll do what needs to be done. I don’t seek out the fight.

A form of involuntary trade, which is another way of saying theft

Then I misunderstood who your prior post was directed at?

@The Mongler so if I manipulate you to buy something you dont need, is that theft?

or trade?

So is working. If the choice is starving and dying vs working, I wouldn’t call that choice. Much like pay your taxes or be jailed @The Mongler

It’s manipulation...

I don't know, how was I manipulated

Or Salesmanship?

@The Mongler by brainwashing

Marketing

Salesmanship is a form of manipulation.

Is a form of brainwashing

Marketing is a form of manipulation.

weird being lectured about manipulation by a commie

How is it the employers fault that you face starvation? That's a consequence implemented by nature. Going to jail or being shot by the police is a consequence implemented by people, not nature

which cant exist without total control of speech
