It was an argument over definitions from the start, namely what can be found in the dictionary vs your idiosyncratic, emotionally charged meaning of the word.

Ah yes. You, objective. Me, emotional. I mean, you certainly *seem* emotionally stable and well balanced.

I mean, you’re just the person who is still sending me asks about this, the person including at least one ad hominem in every message. You seem incredibly detached from this emotionally, absolutely unaffected by this entire conversation. That’s probably why you haven’t actually bothered replying to any of the arguments I’ve laid out–because you’re just too rational to deal with any of this silly, emotional, philosophy. You could probably walk away, and never think about this ever again, if you wanted to–but it seems that you don’t want to.

Why is that?

I mean, why do you care so much about this? See, we keep coming back to this question, Anon. Why does this claim–that wage labor (i.e. “jobs”) is a fundamental part of, and was created by, the Capitalist economic system–bothers you so much, that we still need to have this conversation a week later? Still, since you mention dictionaries…

Here’s Merriam Webster: “A regular remunerative position.” – that is, regular labor for a regular wage or payment.

Here’s the Oxford English Dictionary: “anything one has to do…spec. a paid position of employment.”

Google’s built in dictionary: “a paid position of regular employment.”

etc. etc.

I am using the definition of the word you find in a dictionary–what the fuck are you using?
