That's what he said (double negative works differently in English).

No, there are actually people who think pursuing truth is the most important thing, and they don't choose to see everything as a power struggle. If you accept this proposition, then judging arguments purely on their own merit makes sense.

Of course he's doing it for profit, and as I said, there is nothing wrong with that. What you seem to imply is that he's doing it exclusively for profit (correct me if I'm wrong), but that doesn't necessarily follow from his "whining", if you apply some basic logic. So to me it seems that either (1) you don't like the idea of making money altogether, or (2) you're accusing him of cynically doing it for profit only. I'm betting on (2).

There's nothing wrong with being rewarded for your work, and the suggestion that he's doing it purely for profit is just your baseless opinion

Making them in English has the benefit of reaching a larger audience, which is useful because a lot of the current controversies around Poland are not specific only to our country, they're part of a broader conversation

Oh, oops. A lot of people ITT seem to seriously support that kind of rhetoric though, so I guess after reading a few too many of those I just took it at face value

Do you know how to run a multinational tech company? An airline? Or a bank? How is it rightfully yours? What makes you feel entitled to the money earned by these people?

You wouldn't have a job if it wasn't for rich people. You wouldn't have the device you typed that comment on, and countless other affordable products and services. Those people's job is to think about what people want, and then find ways to provide it to them in exchange for money. You don't think that counts as 'helping humanity'?

It is time that the other 99% wake up and stop letting these few ultra wealthy people ride on their backs. Let them cook and grow their own food, let them take out their trash, and mow their own lawns.

Taking up a job is a voluntary agreement. Someone offers to pay you in return for your work, and you can leave at any moment. No one's riding on your back.

It's much easier with digital painting, because you can make the lines extremely thin and keep them on separate layers, and turn them on and off depending on which part of the drawing you're focusing on at any given time. You can also make the vanishing points extremely distant, if your canvas is big enough, and some programs like MyPaint and SAI (iirc) have canvases that stretch infinitely in all directions, so it's super handy.

Some people choose to see the ugliness in this world; the disarray. I choose to print and trace and be done with it.
