Not All Work Is Exploitative

While conservatives are likely to trivialize or deny the very possibility or probability of workplace exploitation in its various forms, liberals are likely to exaggerate it, to assume that they deserve to have their entire lives paid for by others with little to no involved effort on their own part, and to be ironically driven, all as they somewhat deny it, by the very greed that they so strongly condemn in corporate management and the wealthy.  Liberals just like to delude themselves into thinking they are completely different from the conservative imbeciles they push back against.  Workplace exploitation is a genuine possibility and something that needs to be understood and addressed, but not all work is exploitative.  All that the concept of work inherently entails is just one person doing a task on behalf of another person with some sort of financial or social reward given in exchange for the effort and time spent.

It is logically possible for there to be a business with leaders who are rationalistic and moralistic (without believing in contradictory ideas or living based off of their conscience), pay and benefits that are enough to live off of, and working conditions that are not unnecessarily stressful or dangerous.  Even if no businesses in existence actually resembled this, it would still be possible for them to be or become this, as there is nothing about it that contradicts logical axioms.  Any person who denies this to himself or herself is simply biased against the very concept of business and employment because of assumptions and preferences.  They have no logical facts to stand on here, only emotionalism or an idiotic preference-based worldview.  Yes, it might be unlikely that in the current kind of culture in America, non-exploitative jobs could be easily found and joined, but it is not logically impossible for some to already have been established--and only logical impossibility makes something inherently false.

It also might surprise some just how easily it is for many people, when given the chance, to very express contradictory beliefs or at least talk as if they believe major contradictions.  On one hand, there are liberals who think that all work is oppressive and involves cruelty on the part of employers or managers, which is already demonstrably untrue just because of the logical distinction between the concept of employment and the concept of cruelty.  These people might detest that they have to professionally work at all to survive, not just in the sense of working under the abuses of American capitalism, but in the sense of working for pay, food, or artificial housing at all.  On the other hand, almost every single one of these liberals will, at least in the right circumstances, talk about how they wish they were rich, and some of them might even openly say they would not want to give to the less fortunate or do anything ultimately productive with their wealth.

Anyone who believes all of these these things just hypocritically wishes they were in the position they condemn others for standing in and then embraces falsehoods or assumptions to make themselves more comfortable with this.  Again, not all work is exploitative because it does not have to involve selfishness, cruelty, or hypocrisy on the part of the business owners and managers.  It is not as if the very concept of working for pay is a concept inherently tied to abusive or egoistic leaders.  The false notion to the contrary is more commonly embraced by liberals out of philosophical and occupational laziness, as well as a desire to have the kind of wealth they despise others for having without putting in almost any effort at all.  The kind of wealthy person they despise is not likely to have put in enough effort to deserve to be thought of as a "hard worker" or thoroughly intelligent at handling money, to be sure, but the liberals who would secretly or openly want to replace them are no better.  Rejecting the legitimate possibility of work not being exploitative reflects this.
