I was explaining to my journalist sister that in contrast, being a lawyer presenting a case, no one gives a sh-t what your opinion is about anything.
Journalism and other “scribbling” professions tend to attract individuals with Messianic (”I am going to save the world”) complexes.
This “Anti-Capitalistic Mentality” (Ludwig Von Mises classic study) is also found in academia, non-profit foundations, government bureaucracies, and in non-business related law practices.
Needless to say, these folks are a danger to individual liberty.
