Pretty much the title. I’ve been watching more realistic super hero shows like The Boys and Invincible. The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality.

I think it’s easy for us normies to respect other people and their property because there are clear consequences for violating social norms. But what would the average person do if they had super powers?

    See for me it’d just be the richest 1% of people in the world.

      You would never be able to enjoy it or explain how you got it. Someone would eventually noticed all this money went missing from a bank and there is some rando with all this money with the same serial numbers on it spending.

      I like my plan. You could even leave notes on the dead bodies of the dictators. Or leave warnings. Imagine Winnie the Pooh blinks and there is a knife on his desk with a note telling him that you want the genocide to stop.

        I think he’s just saying he would assassinate the richest 1%, as opposed to just robbing them.

            I am sure the knife would dull and the bicycle would wear… so, some loss.

              But switching out the knife would not be ecological. the last 100 billionaires would probably prefer a spoon.

        No, you missed me. Richest 1% in the world. Which would include dictators.

          An also a lot of middle-class western people. 1% of the world’s population is about 80 million people.

          You’d have to go down to 0.001% to only target the ultra-wealthy.

            Nah, I’m fine offing upper middle class considering their Republican voting trend.
