    Good metaphor. I think the downvotes are because your language is abrasive, but I believe it’s because you’re passionate about this and English may not be your first language (hard to tell due to your native-level fluency though). Keep it up

      It’s more because it’s wrong, combined with being abrasive. Capitalists aren’t building the sand castles, workers are.

      I’d like to think I’m no less abrasive in my native language. I prefer to live by the rule “it’s the Internet, you might be told to fuck off”.

        Indeed, I’ve been here a while and I understand the rules. Sometimes hostility can undermine one’s argument however.

          It really doesn’t matter. It’s just internet comments on a obscure website. It’s not like I was hoping to change someone’s mind with my comments.
