So did you give up all worldly goods to live in a monastery and live on the charity of others or do you work for a company that seeks to make money?

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

Also, please don't cross into personal attack.

Those are not the only choices.

Well what “choice” did you make to food on your table?

Many. Sometimes I manage to make interesting stuff that people are also willing to pay for. Those are the good ones.

So you’re providing stuff that people are willing to pay for - ie capitalism.

Sure, no one claimed otherwise.

Just that there are nuances between monastery and money-seeking-only business.
