I fear somehow I agree that humanity as whole does indeed deserve a wipe-out.
... Or at least a "reset" of biblical proportions.
Then again, we are in the situation we are in and being realistic about it probably
carries further than abstract theory.
All I am saying is that the "weak" ones are weak for a variety of reasons.
Not many of those reasons can be traced back to the doings (or non-doings)
of the weak ones themselves.
For the most part, they seem to be weak because others became strong
while riding on their back. Then those strong ones gave birth to even stronger
ones who got to flourish under most favourable conditions while taking further
advantage of the weak ones.
Generations later all that is forgotten ... the "American self-made man" has
indeed done everything himself it seems. He has "no idea why black people
are at a disadvantage when they have all the rights I do." He is happy about
a 20% increase of his stock-portfolio. Okay, most of that portfolio comprises
petrol-firms and arms-producers but "why is it my problem that those diaper-
heads in Iraq and Iran had to bomb Manhatten and now they're stuck in a war?"
He spends 140$ dollars on a "business"-lunch and responds to the beggar in
front of the restaurant asking for a buck: "Get a job!"
... The beggar is the son of a factory worker who worked in a factory of the
rich mans father for 20 years, who then got fired when the place shut down
and who forced himself onto his wife numerous times while being drunk.
Society, in some countries, tries to care about the "unfortunate" in the form
of programs and welfare ... a drop of water on a hot stone, or "ineffective"
as some might call it. I prefer the term "insufficient".
Those who are fortunate, all too often forget whom they owe it to when
questions like "Is living a life of luxury while others starve immoral?" arise.
