Sorry you're trying to make this fit your political worldview. The addicts in my family are privileged lazy, spoiled, selfish people. They literally had every economic and educational advantage, in the top 1% of all people globally. It is a cultural rot and nihilism and indulgence.
- LeanderK 5y agoMaybe we just learned different lessons ;) People can become addicts under different circumstances and we can't predict individual behaviour. Just because someone exists that violates a principle does not mean the principle is wrong.
- denton-scratch 5y agoThose advantages are not any kind of protection against addiction; if anything, they're a risk factor. I have no idea what "cultural rot" means. I do know what nihilism is; I don't think it is a philosophy that predisposes people to addiction (could be wrong about that). "Indulgence" would be when you do what you feel like doing, even if you think you shouldn't? OK, so your relatives indulge themselves. Almost everyone who can indulge themselves goes ahead and indulges themselves. Privilege comes with costs.
