  “actively robbing the poor” and “actively killing masses of poor people” are two different levels of evil.

    Are they, really?

    Poor folks go through a lot as a result of being poor. It’s hard to express how miserable the constant stress is, and it’s not hard to understand how constant stress and the things we do to try and cope with it directly shorten lives.

    Yeah, merely inflicting suffering on innocent people isn’t quite as bad as killing them outright but it’s such a small difference that I don’t see a lot to be gained from trying to differentiate them.

      I guess I think the difference between being robbed and being killed is greater than you do.

      I also don’t think “robbing” is the right word to talk about someone who made video games worse…

        Well we’re talking about the owner class, not just the guy himself.
