@cambrian_era Not to say this sentiment isn't true, but like "rich people are bad" isn't exactly just a "suspicion"

@cambrian_era I hardly think of "Oh, gee, you weren't aware the rich were bad?" as cynical and more like a fact. I honestly doubt rich people deserve the benefit of the doubt.

@cambrian_era It's not like it does not matter. It's just that it's perfectly fine to be cynical towards rich people. There's positive nihilism too.

@cambrian_era It's more like "this oppressive class is a bane to our society in its very existence. No point in nit picking every fringe decisions they do. They need to be eradicated regardless."

@cambrian_era It's a crime it's not a crime. Does it really matter in the end? Would it change the fact that they are an oppressive class? Would that change the fact that the system is completely rigged?

@cambrian_era How would it matter? Let's say that particular person didn't do it. Would it make you hate the rich less?

@cambrian_era My point is why providing the oppressive justice when they never offered it to the downtrodden? And bribery isn't some irrelevant crime. It's directly tied to their nature as an oppressive class.

@cambrian_era Bottom line is that I hardly see any point in giving these people the benefit of the doubt. And consider them to be intrinsically bad and most likely commit these sorts of things isn't "cynical." It's just what they deserve.

@cambrian_era You can expect the kindness in a lot of people, but just not the rich
