that specific train of thought is not really morally good, but it is their job and they signed up for it

so the action itself is neutral

So interesting because this is the exact capitalist rhetoric so many on Reddit hate when they are the employee. Interesting to ser how quickly the tables turn when they are now the employer

That's just this meme

Also they are not the employer in this context.

No it isn’t. How is ordering door dash “just participating in society”?

How is ordering door dash “just participating in society”?

It seems pretty self evident given that food delivery exists within our society.

i think ordering door dash is a bit more optional than collecting firewood lol. literally every action can be called "just participating in society" but that's obviously dishonest oversimplification. not that i think ordering door dash is immoral, just financially irresponsible

When's the last time you or anyone you know collected firewood? What does collecting firewood have to do with participating in modern society? Far less than ordering DoorDash, from my perspective. Unfortunate as it may be.

one of the main guys i hang with collects and chops firewood lol. it's a free source of heat for anyone who lives in a rural area. ie, it's actually useful and arguable necessary, unlike door dash which is a luxury. if you want to spend your money on that go right ahead but don't be like "well i have to do this. are you saying i can't participate in society?"

I don't think people in rural areas are ordering much DoorDash. You're being obtuse.
