Mine is that for a surprisingly large amount of people, the threat of punishment in the afterlife is all that's keeping them from raping and murdering.

Thoughts and prayers are easier than change

My experience with shitty managers tells me that it’s not just rich people.

Not just poor bad people. Poor people with no choice because of the actions of bad rich people too

Lately I've been telling myself "no war but class war" whatever a dickhead in a shitty car cuts me off or rides in the shoulder or something, as a reminder that "poor bad people" are victims too.

Basically it helps direct my anger at those who deserve it more, not the misguided thin blue line jagoff who probably will be homeless if they miss a paycheck, etc. (And don't get me wrong, I wanna strangle them but we have a common enemy even if they don't know it!)

Poor "perfectionist ethics" good people get punished even worse.

People who are ethically normal and average but poor are usually content. People who operate on vibes are fine. I'm surrounded by them.

But if you are stupid and selfish you are fucked and if you are smart and neurotic about being a good person you are double fucked.

Don't forget, this happens in corporate jobs too. The only ones that can climb the ladder are the ones who do so via stepping on other employees and faking it till they make it.

And the consequences won't come from the same system that put them into power.

It turned out confidence and competence are mutually exclusive.

Damn rocking that Stolas persona what a baller

Almost nobody does because cash is king and cash feeds. That's why we're all loaded with debt so we're subservient.

Compassion is a part of happiness. Deceit is just going to lead them to anger. At least they can carry themselves knowing they have integrity instead of relying on the superficial wins that come from lying. What happens when they lie and still lose? What do they have then?

What's happened in this country was decades in the making. You're comparing apples to oranges. I'm going to assume your kids weren't born into extreme wealth they can use to get themselves out of trouble.

Look, I get it. But you shouldn't teach dishonesty. I was going to say we need people who care about others and our world instead of being completely selfish but the reality is we've been taking so much from resources and harming the environment that it's probably too late. I'd like to believe my kids will have a better outcome when they're adults but I'll just have to die hanging on to that belief.
