You fundamentally don’t know what capitalism is.
If your labor provides a good or service, you are not a capitalist.
Without exploitation you can’t have shareholder profits.

I'd say it's more that many humans are exploitive and have found ways to use capitalism to exploit people, just as happens under every system. It's not an necessary part of capitalism. In theory, everyone works and adds to the economy what they can and receives from it in kind. But the world is not perfect, and people love to exploit whatever they can.
I'm personally a communist in theory, but a realist in practice, and see that communism is just as much or more prone to exploitation in practice. It's basically the same idea of "everyone works, everyone thrives" but with a community centered thought process instead of a self centered one.

How does a culture that promotes exploitation lead to more exploitation?
You can’t be serious?

I have read this story but immediately think how insane it is that the US has, what will like become, the unbeatable winningest snowboarder of all time in Chloe Kim but she has to dodge so much bullshit.
With Trump as president and all his “China Flu” bs, Kim was delivered so much hate with rocket fuel behind it. To think she this close to this as well and is easily the best female snowboarder on the planet, man. There’s countries that couldn’t offer any snowboarder that is better.
I’m Canadian so Mark McMorris is my man but he doesn’t have many years left so I know Chloe Kim will be 10-20 wins over his head by the time she is done. The USA has this massive talent but half the country hates her for not being white and she has to dodge sexual predators. Fk

“Cold cocked.” Feels like there is more to this story. Did she push him and hit him in the face first? Or did he just cold-cock her? Does it matter?

How quickly we forget the Ohio State wrestling case. 20 years, 177 athletes, $40M settlement, and Jim Jordan somehow comes out unscathed.

And how does this lead to sexual exploitation? Why does it happen in other countries without capitalism, in every culture and civilization in history of human’s?
No it must be capitalism

The foundation of capitalism is exploitation. If you don’t understand that you don’t know what capitalism is. Which most Americans don’t know what capitalism is, so that’s just normal.

Most federations won’t pay for parents to travel with athletes. If they can’t afford it, then that puts them in the position of denying their kids the opportunities to compete internationally or else letting their children travel in their own.

I’m a business owner. I do the exploiting first hand. Everyone that works for me has a worse economic situation that I exploit.

That draft was LOADED with great RBs. They could’ve had Kamara or Hunt as well at that point in the draft

NBA is awesome. You're a dork. If you hate it, why comment on this? Waste of resources and energy. Life is short. Go outside.
