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.
It really isn’t the money itself, its the accountability. If you don’t have a conscience you will feel like you are unstoppable. Until there are actual punishments in an actual system, bad people will continue to do bad things. The way that the system is designed currently just so happens to make it so only bad people can obtain a billion dollars since you have to trample on others to obtain such wealth.
