Sometimes I wonder what’s the point of being the good guy against power crazy lunatics like Putin.
If there was any justice in this world society wouldn’t stand for things like this. Too many people that are complicit and complacent. Makes me feel dejected.
Hopefully someone helps Putin out of a window before the cancer takes him.
Im always reminded of the question: Are humans born good or evil?
We’re obviously born evil or laws wouldn’t exist. You shouldn’t need a law saying not to kill or rob someone. You shouldn’t need physical consequences for crimes.
But because humans aren’t inherently good, you do.
Morality is relative. Societal morality or my gene survival morality?
There’s evolutionary benefits to being a Dave murderer psychopath that established enough dominance to be left alone
Then social groups came along and a different part of our brain developed and they duke it out on what is “moral”.
Religious people like to say “Where’s your moral compass?” But the truth is in our heads is the closest thing to morality this universe so far has ever seen.
Considering the space rock we’re floating on doesn’t give a fuck about fairness. Even your housecat is going to eat your fucking face off the week you die.
Most people aren’t born evil or less developed societies without a sophisticated criminal justice system would collapse.
No one ever “chooses” to be the good guy.
To mis-use the meme: “In Soviet Russia, good chooses you!”
I listened to a podcast interview with his daughter, and he seems like a genuinely good person. At least in her opinion.
Dudes still a nationalist. To make an analogy to US politics, he’s the Liz Cheney to Putin’s Donald Trump. His anti-corruption cause is laudable, and it’s hard to imagine he wouldn’t be a huge step up from Putin, but genuinely good is debatable
Thanks. I appreciate the perspective. =)
I’d imagine the idea of being the “good guy” is to represent what to populus wants.
What’s the point of taking down Putin for another Putin?
He never should have returned. But, if he didn’t he’d be hunted worldwide.
He was trying to show that he wasn’t afraid. Unfortunately, there was good reason to be afraid.
Putin’s gonna start having him edited out of pictures next
