Are you implying the CEO is a victim of the system? If so he decided to further victimise dozens of thousands further, just like a murderer-robber is also a victim of the system, nonetheless their lack of morality made them perpetuate the system's violence.
- Muromec 2y agoHe is just another drone responding to the market signals and the incentives are structured in a way to select for this kind of behavior. Yes, he can very well be morally corrupt, but it's not the point.
- greenie_beans 2y agojust because you are "responding to the market signals and the incentives" doesn't make it right! in fact, it signals to me how the market and incentive structure dogma can be a harmful and destructive ideology to follow.
- piva00 2y agoHence why I've been a heavy critic of ideologues spewing about capitalism without ever considering how we should imbue morality into an amoral system. Being morally corrupt is kinda the point, less educated people manage to maintain a sense of morality while living under this system, they aren't rewarded for it but still have character enough to not be corrupted. His choice of participating on a clearly immoral scheme is conscious, responding to the incentives comes from a failure of character.
- mensetmanusman 2y agoI think someone murdered by an assassin is tautologically a victim.
- piva00 2y agoNot a "victim of the system" as I clearly specified to avoid this kind of comment...
