As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that a lot of very mainstream advice people get about dealing with careers, society, etc is like “don’t do XYZ* or you’ll be eaten alive out there.” Instead of like “don’t eat people alive out there.”

*XYZ is just normal human behavior.

    It’s either that or victim blaming (“you’re so stupid, how could you get tricked by and get your life ruined by X!” instead of “X is wrong and ruining people’s lives”).

    Anyways, I speak about it almost too often enough here: a society that got rich from colonization and slavery, and now from neocolonization and eternal warfare, can morally tolerate everything up until that so what exactly can you expect from them? They don’t believe in things being morally wrong or right (because they excuse murder, rape and pillage already) and they don’t care about others (sociopathic selfishness is a virtue, basically, it’s how you “get that bag” and rise up the ranks).

        Oh, again, regarding the hypothetical scenario in that thread, in which I owned a Death Note, I would certainly try to target the ones who pull the levers behind idk imperialism, colonization, and all sorts of innocent deaths and genocide. You really don’t see the difference? Are you really that dim? You wouldn’t fight someone raping your kids or in the middle of murdering your loved ones, and put them down if they would not stop? Is that not the right thing to do? Go ahead, cowardly fence sitter. 🙄

        And btw if you continue to be this obsessed my wife will start asking questions, lol.

          Dude, if you don’t want to be labelled a hypocrite, it would have been really easy to keep a lot of the judgy shit to yourself. No one else (who matters) agrees with you that alcohol is evil and corrupts people.

          You can pretend it doesn’t matter, but you mentioned people excusing murder which you did and still do. lol at me being a coward because I won’t pretend to be a tough murderer on the internet.

          You’ll be happy to know you’re getting blocked because I know I’m wasting my time, I just deeply cannot stand judgy hypocritical religious people.

            This is the third thread in which you will criticise my position but won’t take one yourself. You are a coward… but there are worse things to be, I guess. Take care, detective.
