Here, "the Man" are the SN administrators.

If you are referring to my economics-related scribblings, it's just rather normal, near libertarian opinion - defending the rights of unpopular groups because they're the first ones to be challenged. My take is that the pervasive violation of economic rights are one of the great sins of the modern developed world. The Man, aka the mundane business owner, is being suppressed and we suffer for it with fewer jobs, more centralized and less competitive businesses, a bunch of powerful bureaucrats and elite nannies telling us what to do, enormous tax revenue streams spent on making our lives worse, etc.

There's nothing magical about the Man, rich people, whatever. The point is that they're the unpopular outliers, the ones affected by a lot of bad regulations and violations of human economic freedom first. And they happen to have huge positive impacts on society when they're allowed to.

We should be asking who's next when Daddy Warbucks can't or won't cover the tab? The bill still gets paid.

Pitchforks and torches only get you so far when the purported bad guy targets can be on the other side of the planet inside of a day.
