    If someone creates something to trade it for goods and services, thats fine, even if that means its free at the point of consumption.

    If someone creates something for their own reasons, you have no entitlement to it. Please try to be less emotional with your responses, this is a discussion platform meme page after all.

      “Their own reasons”

      Homie, the word your looking for is “profit”. And it has nothing to do with helping society. It’s about hoarding wealth.

        Found the capitalist.

        People create things all the time for their own reasons that have nothing to do with profit. Some people create things for fun. For some, it’s called having a hobby.

        Grandmothers knitting mittens, for example.

      Your initial point is that no one deserves what someone else did. My counter point is that since the dawn of humanity, every human has used someone’s else idea or tool to make their life better.

      So yeah, you owe it to everyone around you for the lifestyle you have right now.
