Anti-Capitalism & The Great Email Debate

An Onlooker | 16.11.2005 16:29

Anti-Capitalist emailings....

Interesting to note that a high proportion of you anti-capatalists posting on here have yahoo email addresses.

That’s ever so strange seeing the shares are going through the roof in the New York stock exchange.

Yahoo has also seen a 500 per cent growth in their quarterly income and profits of $65 million.

yahoo is also taking over numerous companies worldwide exoanding it’s money making portfolio – Inktomi, Konfabulator, Blo.gs, Alibaba online casino, Wikipedia, Flickr, broadcast.com to name but a few!

Tsk tsk…what a bunch of pesky two faced moronic idiots you anti-capatist yahoo e-mailers are!

Can you anti-capatalist yahooers tell me why it’s great to call down the big business, wreck their offices etc. etc. yet choose to use an email account from a money making business?

Is that ok to do then seeing it's helping you to get your messages accross? Hypocrites or what?

Some people get a computer,and dont really know shit about it ,(yahoo have done their homework ),and its marketing campaign has worked with some of us (me )as i only knew the name yahoo,so it was typed in and they made it easy for new computer usersto get email ,so just because youve got superior knowledge when it comes to this lark,dosent give you the right to have a go at people,or their lack of WHAT YOU KNOW, so go fuck yer self pal and take your intellectual thuggery else where

Anything useful?

Good point. I have a hotmail account, maybe I am just as 'guilty'.

However what may be more useful is that you suggest a suitable alternative.

I also find it more useful to forget criticising others and think about what responsibilties we have and the effects of our own actions. I am sure that it is easy enough to find flaws in others own actions. For example what ISP do you use? If you are at an internet cafe, is it a non-profit making cafe? What ISP do they use?? The list can go on for ages.

End of the day though, I think it would be more constructive to actually raise it as an issue and discuss it in detail.

I think it is also useful to keep in mind that no matter how you label someone, we are all human and make mistakes. But mistakes are not other come and their effects ever rectified if we constantly point the finger at others and not ourselves.

All in all though, good point. Just thought you could have put it in a more positive and constructive way.
