Telling someone that what they do for a living makes the world a worse place is neither a personal insult nor hating.
Social pressure is one of the principal ways we stop people from making self-interested decisions that are detrimental to the group.
- colejohnson66 7y agoIt is an insult because you’re attacking them for what they do.
- cowpig 7y agoIf that's how you want to define "insult," then I disagree that we shouldn't do it. You shouldn't attack people for who they are, or anything outside of their control (race, gender, etc) But for choices they make, that affect other people? These are exactly the things you should judge people for
- riversflow 7y agoI don’t follow this logic, at all, and I’m honestly trying to understand it, even if I disagree. How is attacking someone for what they do an insult? Is there an ethical line? If someone kills my family, certainly I am not insulting them for calling them a murder?
- heavyset_go 7y agoAnyone can be judged for the actions they take, that doesn't make it an insult.
