MODERATORS
But it could be, and anyone who learns that it's not reality and has any reaction other than "well why the fuck not?" and a determination to make that the reality by any means necessary isn't a good or even neutral person.
Your complacency is actually a bigger problem than the greed of the people benefitting directly from the world's injustices.
The only appropriate or morally acceptable reaction to seeing injustice is to resolve to stop it by any means necessary.
In the 100,000 years of humanity it hasn't been and you suddenly are the bright one who thinks it will change because 'it could be'?
So in your mind causing further injustice to stop an injustice is morally acceptable? You said any means necessary.
In the 100,000 years of humanity it has been, most of that time. In the 8000 years of the existence of domination systems we've been moving away from that ideal and not towards it, and for the 300 years capitalism has existed we've been sprinting away from it like it was an apex predator, but it was the norm up until fairly recently on the scale of human evolution. There were even a few generations between the invention of the ox-driven plow and the waves of kurgan invasions where people likely got to enjoy the benefits of agriculture and urbanization without the crushing demands of laboring for the good of an oppressor.
Punishing the perpetrators of injustice or violently preventing them from doing further injustice is not an injustice, so your entire point makes no sense.
