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.
The process of getting rich and powerful tends to make people that way, they have to hurt a lot of people to get there and they have to lose a lot of empathy to sleep after doing it.
