Seriously, it feels like all morality is situational now. People have no principles.
Something as straightforward as "stealing is wrong" doesn't apply. "Stealing from people I don't like is fine".

- ryandrake 3y agoNot that I agree that stealing is acceptable (it's not), but this is expected and what happens deep into class warfare when inequality skyrockets and hopelessness sets in. People do what they can to make a buck, and justify it as evening out a perceived imbalance. We should expect to see more and more of this as more and more economic gains are captured by the rich, squeezing more of the middle class into poverty.
- huytersd 3y agoThe massive wealth inequality has a role to play. People are willing to accept people having more money than them but 10 people owning 50% of the wealth while the rest are literally suffering through multiple jobs and still live paycheck to paycheck, that’s when people think of revolting. What we’re seeing now is the initial stages of a soft revolution where ideas are introduced to the larger public and reactions are gauged. Things aren’t bad enough for an actual revolution but these are the first signs of the growing discontent.
