Not everyone is the same. We aren't all motivated by the same things, we weren't all raised the same way, we weren't all damaged by the same things and we don't all think the same.

When you assume everyone thinks the same way as you, you'll misjudge a lot of people.

And not a single one of those things changes the fact that humans silently judge each other.

All people do this across all cultures. We're hardwired to do it by virtue of being what we are, and what we are are apes who establish dominance hierarchies.

It's just a fact. You're purposefully misconstruing it as a moral claim so you can attack a strawman to make yourself feel better, but it's still just a fact.

If I told you it is in no way a moral judgement or condemnation toward you, I bet you would be more ready to accept it, and that's the point. Your selfishness is the point.
