I was chatting with with my bro today. I asked “how do you just - do that heinous shit?” I remarked that I could never do what they did to those people if i got rich and powerful.
He’s like “you sure? How do you know you wouldn’t?”
And the more i think about it, I’m not so sure. Are we all just monsters forced to be good by the status quo? Are we brainwashed to be good? Is being evil the best way to live and we’re all just suckers?
I honestly feel sick thinking about the implications.
How can good ever win? What the hell can we do?
Sorry for the cringy rant but I’m pretty broke up about it.
Poor people can and have done astonishingly horrible things as well. If you aren’t trafficking children to rape yet then I highly doubt you ever will.
The thing is people who are born in to money are shaped to think they can do anything. Just look at Andrew, the ex Prince.
He is rich and perverted but thought he could do anything and get away with it.
He wasn’t beaten or abused, etc, which turned him into a monster. No, he chose to go that route.
But not all rich people choose to be evil, just like not all poor people choose to be angelic.
With the caveat that you almost can’t get rich without
