When people talk about the rich pitting the working class against each other, this is exactly what they're talking about. Rather than saying "yeah, fuck the man, we're all in this together!", you've chosen "why should they get out of eating the shit of our owners? They should learn to eat shit just like the rest of us!"

It’s not “the man” who all should get residuals? Building architects every time someone stays in a building they designed? Software engineers every time you use a library?

Are you okay with software patents and licensing? Do you think library makers should get a residual every time you pull a library down from npm?
