Don't bring white guilt into this. Desperation doesn't excuse depravity, nor should it.
On the other end of the phone call are people being forced into the same position of desperation through deception. That's their reward for a lifetime of presumably-honest work.
The noble savages aren't that dumb either. These aren't credit default swaps so abstracted from the underlying assets that the product's toxicity is unrecognizable at the nth degree. They're directly manipulating people into draining their accounts. At some level, something about it should feel off.
- 29athrowaway 3y agoWhite guilt? noble savages? What are you talking about? Expressing your thoughts through racial stereotypes makes you look with a person with poor judgment and no common sense.
- guhcampos 3y agoI have very similar morals to you, although I'm white and privileged like most of us. Yet I could definitely convince myself to "make these rich biggots pay" for my family ends meet, especially if I lived in some shithole without much hope for improvement. Heck, privileged people have been convinced of worse. It's not "white guilt", it's perspective.
