The sheer friction you encounter when trying to explain something that doesn’t rely on capitalist motives to someone who assumes that everything must be a business.
It really has become difficult for many people to even think outside of the confines of capitalism.
@esther Talk to anyone working at an American or.British (maybe more?) university, a service to the people, and you will hear maddening tales of how running the university like a business is killing the university. Unless said person is an MBA business type who is implementing cost-cutting synergies to leverage the branding of the university to elevate its reputation in its sector. 🤦♂️
