When deciding who deserves my scorn, I genuinely do put those who are in power and commit atrocities at scale (like healthcare CEOs) above one-off violent criminals.

Even if you’re a few levels removed from the deaths you’ve caused, you still have blood on your hands imo.

Who knows too... maybe if we have better access to affordable quality (mental) healthcare, which does not deny millions of claims in any given year, then we might perhaps have less murders, rapist, and abusers running around.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Would you rather have had this guy around you / your loved ones, or one of the people in the other groups I named?
What precisely is your point?

I'd rather have the Sackler family show up for a dinner than the Manson family, but if we're being honest, the former is responsible for several orders of magnitude more deaths than the latter.

Wasn’t the topic scorn?
