    People aren’t responsible for how they’re born. Being born into a family that’s benefitted from human suffering is out of their control.

    Choosing to harm people in order to join a class of societal leeches is different.

      Staying in that position of privilege you were born into is also a choice.

      (I agree with you while people are young though)

        is it? You can just undo like 15 years of child rearing in that privileged position? Seems factually incorrect to me.

          Undo? No?

          But it doesn’t take that much effort to do some minimal self-education about power structures and injustice and see the patterns. I’d say given how mainstream those discussions are on much of social media these days, it probably takes active work to avoid a basic understanding…

            yeah, and my point is, that it doesn’t change anything, it just makes you aware of it.

            The human ability to be conscious of it’s own existence brought us untold intelligent never before seen. And an unparalleled fear of death, that will never be sated. Neither of these things will ever change in human history, i don’t see why this matters in this context either.

            At the end of the day, it is what it is, what really matters is whether people are objectively bad people or not.
