Welcome to the revolution brother. Read about the Bolshevik Revolution, the theory and literature behind it, the thoughts and goals of the people behind it and I swear you’ll find kinship. Personally, when I see someone who needs help, be it neighbor with a flat tire or a homeless person asking for a couple bucks as I walk by, I try to provide it. I often talk to people with some Venn Diagram intersection with your world view (as I know it thus far) and usually they’d literally give the wheel off their car to help the first subject in that hypothetical, and sometimes even go out of their way to give a sandwich to the second… but when it comes to policy they are so much more cruel. That’s my word for it, others call it pragmatic, or the free market. I’m not saying that because I think I am one of the group who contributes, or one of the better, or what have you. Honestly, the sum total of my life has been going to war as a combatant, working for a defense contractor making missiles, working for a couple startups and large companies that you could sun up as selling advertising in novel ways, selling makeup, and getting people to pay slightly less for college if it’s online. Recently I’ve made a couple of new people that I hope to raise to be better contributors than I. But that’s it, I have no illusions that I’m some saint. So, long preamble, but my point is that many of us don’t contribute to society, and don’t contribute in far more pernicious ways than a homeless drug addict. In comparison with a homeless drug addict my contribution to society has probably been markedly more detrimental, considering I used automation to deploy it on a mass scale. In closing, look in the mirror, and unless you’ve been curing cancer, maybe cut the drug addict a break.
