"In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience."

sociopaths excel in capitalist society

They will never feel bad or regret it at all. Their moral system is completely different from ours.

They see things in a matter of Strong vs. Weak. To be Strong is good, to be Weak is evil.

The things they do show how Strong they are. And the things we suffer, and our incapability of doing anything about their deeds, show how Weak we are.

They have nothing but contempt and hate for us. They see themselves as superior, post-human, almost divine. God doesn’t fret the lives he takes, the sacrifices he demands, the suffering he causes.

I fucking hate appeals to morality. Why are you appealing to someone who lacks any semblance of a moral compass. Appeals to morality only work in the movies.

Why wait? Plenty of people throughout history figured out exactly how to create video games for the explicit purpose of entertainment value depicting the methods by which to torment them in the present!

My landlord just recently tried to pull the move where they make you do work for them and then immediately after give you notice to leave

I yelled in his face and called him on (honestly only half of) the shit he's done since I moved in and you can tell all he feels is victimized

They will never see themselves from the outside; that would require they believe other people are real

They invented effective altruism just to be able to further delude themselves into not being introspective about their actions.

lol this absolutely does not happen, there are entire industries dedicated to providing their justifications for them. at most they will be like "wow all the hard choices I had to make... for the greater good maybe... mortals can never really know... I'm a profound thinker for having these thoughts"

I don't take comfort in that because I truly believe that most of them won't

incredible amounts of copium

Liberal?

Look, I normally don't agree with the death penalty

But,

pretty sure there are a whole set of pills for the crushing existential guilt of inadvertently developing a conscience after a lifetime of abusing others.

This person is happier then I'll ever be and that makes me mad.

lol yeah they're just engaging in some wishful thinking. these rich pigs aren't human, they wont ever feel bad for their crimes. they have something wrong deep inside them the rest of us don't. that's why they're all collectively perfectly fine protecting each other even if they aren't actively participating. and then you even have the level above all the rich assholes who REALLY control all the shit and they definitely aren't feeling bad about anything. subhuman isn't the word, they're antihuman

all they have to do is convert to christianity on their deathbed like scott dilbert

Even if they miraculously did, the next in the ruling class will continue the debauchery thats been going on since time immemorial until they run humanity into the ground

I've been told this too lmao
