Pretty sure I was having a normal conversation with someone and you splashed in to call me out for something without a whole lot of thought. There's no "threat", none of this is that serious, I wish you peace and introspection
Well I'm petty sure you were coming across as obnoxious and the vote count seems to agree.
If most people are interpreting the things you said earlier in the thread negatively, maybe the cause is in the writer than the reader.
Maybe have another look and see if you mightn't have written a bit of a sourpost originally, and reconsider your tone next time if you genuinely mean no harm.
Some of us need to earn a living from coding, and I don't like the idea that you would rather destroy the earning potential of a one-person team than compromise your politics at all even a little bit.
Turn your hatred on the exploitative multinational corporations, not the little guy trying to earn a living from his code.
There's principles, and there's actual people, and the people are far, far more important. Don't be so quick to condemn the little guy for wanting a bit of cash while Besos and the like screw us both over on the daily with billions in their pockets.
People aren't corporations, and confusing those is partly how America got so extreme in its capitalism.
