Hatred often makes you want to hurt people, but people hurt peope in the name of greed more often, and not only with less potential for guilt, but is often the cause of delusional accolades and reassurance both from within oneself and from others.

Hypothetical:

A CEO lays off 10,000 employees that helped that company succeed, solely to increase earnings and not because the company is hurting, not only seriously hurting 9,997 people, but causing 3 to commit suicide.

A bumpkin gets in a fight with someone he hates the melanin of because he’s a moron and kills them.

Who did more damage to humanity that day? They’re both, I want to say evil but evil is subjective, they’re both highly antisocial, knowingly harmful behaviors, yet one correctly sends you to prison for a long time if not forever, while the other, far more premeditated and quite literally calculated act, is literally rewarded and partied about. Jim Kramer gives you a shout out on tv, good fucking times amirite!

Edit: and this felt relevant to post after someone tried to lecture me about equating layoffs to murder.

“Coca-Cola killed trade unionists in Latin America. General Motors built vehicles known to catch fire. Tobacco companies suppressed cancer research. And Boeing knew that its planes were dangerous. Corporations don’t care if they kill people — as long as it’s profitable.”

    Is the other 20% your willingness to dig through 3 day old threads, or your incredible prose? Or is it just assuming everyone who holds a different opinion than you is poor? Oh wait those are all aspects of your personality.

    Btw the people that made this website believe that silly shit.

      It’s mostly my incredible prose coupled with my ability to find years-old threads on the internet, but that’s because the e-learning community has always done a baller job of documenting solutions.

      I stand on the shoulders of giants.

      Also I don’t care what the original devs believed. They made a passable forum but their world views are meaningless.

      Finally, I didn’t assume you’re poor. I assumed you wanted to pretend you’re poor. That’s so much worse.

        “Finally, I didn’t assume you’re poor. I assumed you wanted to pretend you’re poor. That’s so much worse.”

        “Stay poor then”

        I think you need some more e-learning, preferably somewhere the content is locked so you can’t pollute it.

          Lmao it’s really gonna piss you off to know that I literally develop training programs for major corporations.

          But yeah go be poor if you want. It’s your life man. Be a vegan on a commune.

              Do it from your commune! Best of both worlds.
