  • See that one is a touch different, billionaires aren’t something that generally just happens. People making that much money are usually exploiting someone to get there. However, hypothetically, it might be possible to have an outlier billionaire that has done nothing wrong, though unlikely. Though I’d say it’s difficult to imagine an ethical billionaire that stays a billionaire as well, given how much good that kind of money could do for the world in general.

    I think it’s important to judge each individual based on their actions, even if their actions may fit the profile for an unethical businessperson or the like.

    Unfortunately though it is pretty safe to generalise when it comes to the wealthy.


  • Hard no.

    The idea that your can judge an entire group of people to be innocent or not is heavily flawed. Even if any groups cultural influence was hypothetically incredibly evil, do people deserve death for being influenced by their surroundings? How do we gauge who has true evil in their heart, and who was harbouring doubts but couldn’t say anything? We literally can’t, and that kind of thinking shouldn’t be used to decide judgement of a person, let alone who lives and who dies. In practical terms things get muddier sure, but we’re way past that point.

    At this point I feel like the conclusion of violence is made first, then the justification coming afterwards.
