Yes, when life puts you in a position where you're insulated from the consequences of your actions, just enjoy it :)

If your role is actively making life worse for thousands of others, that's their problem.

When you've been offered the privilege of an uncomplicated life in a complicated world, just grab it by the neck and take it, discard the complications as something for others to deal with!

What a terrible view. It's a good thing that I do not feel that way!
When you take into account how much corporations cloud the effects of your work from you, and how easy (normal, in fact) it is to live in a bubble where you don't realize the level of suffering of others, then when you say

> no matter who you are and what your role is

that view is exactly what you are endorsing. You may not feel that way, but unfortunately, you don't have to explicitly feel it in those words to act exactly in accordance to that.
