I mean I do blame the consumer. Specifically for not voting in harsh consumer- and worker-protection laws curbing corporate abilities.

I think the issue is only blaming the consumer and especially when pointing to the cause of the issue.

Is it naive to vote for someone who obviously tells you all you want to hear but has a record of taking advantage every time they get your vote? Absolutely.

But so is walking in a city at night. All kinds of bad things can happen there but someone who hasnt seen evil firsthand will not recognize it easily.

I grew up in a very rough part of a big city. I knew you cant go outside unarmed at night and especially not linger there. But I cant expect friends from other places who havent seen this to act „wisely“ without telling them. This why we advocate without looking down on people.

Have a good one.

I think I understand, but how do you deal with the unending desire to feel superior over others?

[-] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 2 points 9 months ago

The unending desire for superiority as alfred adler describes it doesnt appeal to me. Maybe its just me but I find our constant focus on hierarchical order disturbing. Games are competitive, school is competitive, from a very early age we get that spoonfed. I‘d like to find research about this.
