I’m thinking about social justice and cancel culture lately, where society forces someone to lose their job, social status, erc. for shitty things they have said or done that aren’t technically illegal but are unpopular. One thing I’ve noticed is that social justice never focuses on billionaires.
Bill Gates could end world poverty with a fraction of his wealth, yet we throw praise on him for spending money on research to block out the sun and oral vaccines that actually increase infection rates when entering the water system.
Billionaires are morally reprehensible people and we spend our time instead focused on cancelling celebrities and people for saying stupid shit. Are we just being manipulated again to focus on the wrong thing?
Oh yes, some people indeed deserve it, but the zeal and readiness people have to engage in these cannibalistic rituals isn’t good praxis and will ultimately accomplish nothing. At the end of the day, we will need everyone, including some people we don’t like, to fix the problem of capitalism.
fixing capitalism involves removing people from power by force, capists will act on their class interests. and they control media, manufacturing, social norms, brain programming, so. but yeah major care should be taken to insure the targets of anti-capitalist force “deserve it”
