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.”

    Oh wow. Indoctrinated much? That’s literally all wrong. In fact the dictionary defines Capital as…

    wealth in the form of money or other assets owned by a person or organization or available or contributed for a particular purpose such as starting a company or investing.

    Bezos is found is literally in a lot of those horrible things. Granted there is a lot of perceived value in his company. But even if that went belly up today he would still be a wealthy man.

      You really shouldn’t have skimmed that line.

      Also nothing you described is “horrible.”

        I didn’t skim it. I read it with full reading comprehension of someone not indoctrinated is all. You can have political capital. Assets of any kind can also be capital. Even if you don’t give them away or use them up.

        And I’m here to tell you. If you don’t think all the theft that bazos has perpetuated. Leaving people homeless and starving. Millions of others without housing or food security. All so he can ride penis shaped Rockets. Etc isn’t horrible. That’s your problem.

          No that’s the same thing. Making money available to someone else has the same net impact.

          Reading is FUNdamental.
