Not trying to be a dick, but that comes off as rejecting the idea of morality? If you’re a hard determinist I understand where you are coming from, but that’s a niche position which leads me to not assume it in people. At some point in time, everyone here made the choice to actually care. Made the choice to not reject painful conclusions that honest investigation inevitably leads to. That is morally superior. At least as far as I understand morality, which is a divisive topic to say the least.
Have you read stuff about social reproduction theory? Where the conditions that allow for individual agency to create certain outcomes are created through collective agency?
No, and as much as the that description makes sense….it feels like it’s letting people with shitty politics off the hook of taking responsibility for how shitty they are.

I’m not a vulgar determinist I just dont think most people exist in a context that let’s them make those moral choices.
Wdym by that? I don’t want to assume and be wrong.

Probably right, but I don’t like it.
I relate to the feeling.
