Exploitation

The disparity in exploitation between party A and Party B is not justification or evidence of the necessity of the exploitation between Party C and Party D.

Hym "My point about exploitation is that there is an excess of labor. That is the literal definition of the word 'Profit.' If you are not entitled to the labor of others than how to you claim entitlement to the EXCESS labor of those same people? So much so that your truck drivers aren't allowed to go to the bathroom. Remote labor was illuminating. It revealed to the public the fact that companies just don't need to exercise the amount of control over the locality and behavior of their employees that they currently exert."

Exploitation

Are you guys serious over there exploiting the Mappa guys? Damn!

Hym "Why exploitation when you can just arbitrate reasonable deadlines? Seriously! You got retard-supreme over there pumping his engineers full of Adderall and working them until they collapse (Without a prescription by the way, which is horse shit because I actually have a diagnosis and they STILL want me to pay 2 grand for a psychological assessment but this piece of shit can just GET Adderall and give it away like free mints at a restaurant) and now you've got Mappa exploiting the people who revolutionized animation. Companies are bullshit. Having to work for these people is bullshit."

digital exploitation

The exploitation of digital media to unfairly influence the outcome or to create an unjust result. It can be a form of cheating and illicit practices that take advantage of and exploit media users. In some cases, media users are programmed to go viral with misinformation or disinformation. Much like when an arson strikes a match when the conditions are favorable for a wildfire to spread in ways that are most damaging to the environment.

The Russians have learned quickly that they can positively influence the outcome of an election through digital exploitation. much easier than conventional war. Surprisingly they have the help of a large minority of the public who support their candidate right or wrong.

Spiritual Exploitation Whistleblowing

Spiritual exploitation whistleblowing is the ethical disclosure of information about abuse, manipulation, coercive control, financial exploitation, sexual exploitation, or psychological harm carried out under the guise of spirituality or spiritual leadership. It functions similarily to whistleblowing in corporations or government, but the power dynamics are spiritual rather than institutional, often involving gurus, healers, teachers, cults, or spiritual organizations.

New Earth leaders share the imperative ethical demand of helping shape context for Spiritual Exploitation Whistleblowing to have a place to land as a needed truth telling process, practice and praxis. The worlds needs more Spiritual Exploitation Whistleblowing to support non-heirarchical paradigms in a post-capitalistic world.

Theory of Constructed Exploitation

The view that exploitation (getting more value from someone's labor than you return) isn't a simple, naked theft, but is often structured and legitimized by constructed systems. The "contract," the "market wage," the "gig economy app," and the concept of "management share" are all social constructions that define what is considered a "fair exchange," often obscuring and enabling the extraction of surplus value. The system is built to make exploitation look like a transaction.

Example: "The delivery app isn't a robber on the road; it's the Theory of Constructed Exploitation in digital form. It builds a system where drivers are 'independent contractors' (a legal construction), pay for their own gas and repairs, and have no benefits, while the app takes a 30% fee and calls it a 'platform service.' The exploitation is baked into the software's very business model."
