Why are the bourgeoisie so unapologetically evil? I know this is a stupid question but its hard for me to fathom how a human being could be as malicious and uncaring as the bourgeoisie are. Do they not care at all for the suffering they cause humanity, and the destruction they bring to the planet as a whole? Or do they delusionally believe that what they are doing is somehow in the right?
>>2702562>Why are the bourgeoisie so unapologetically evil?because we allow them to by not killing them
>>2702562>I know this is a stupid questionthen why ask it
every single bourgeois could be le good and it would still make it necessary for the proletariat to take down capitalism
>>2702567>every single bourgeois could be le good and it would still make it necessary for the proletariat to take down capitalismI understand that of course. Its just wild to me how every member of the bourgeoisie seem to lack any basic levels of human empathy and the ability to feel any kind of guilt over their actions.
>>2702562It's all pederasty and elephant walk fratbro secret society shit with the bourgeoisie. It's kind of sad but the bourgeoisie have a culture of toughening themselves up with drugs, trauma and rape. It's the same thing as how the Spartiate killed slaves for their initiation. The capitalist class has developed plenty of mechanisms to prevent class traitors. So the bourgeoisie believe they're far too gone to get out of the system or similar bullshit.

To see the shared humanity in the proletarians they exploit, the indigenous peoples they displace, and the consumers they harm, is to lose market share to another porky who won't. There's more than enough superstructural psychological techniques to sever empathy for the oppressed and minimize if not nullify the guilt of their actions
>>2702570>the bourgeoisie seem to lack any basic levels of human empathy and the ability to feel any kind of guilt over their actions.Most of those at the top of class society feel those things they just feel them only for their equals, not for those who are below them. Do you feel guilty when you step on an ant? Thats how it is for them.
>>2702924This isnt true. Theres plenty of people who have been in positions of high power and had the ability to engage in these sins, but didnt. Vladimir and Stalin never did any of the downright evil shit the bourgeoisie do, despite the fact they could have done it if they wanted to. The bourgeoisie capitalists are the only group of powerful people to ever be so immoral.
>>2702562everyone is propagandized. They don't realize what they are doing is evil or exploitative. Just because they are rich doesn't mean they have more critical thinking skills than the average. It's not an excuse, I still support classicide, but most of the bourgeoisie are just as hypnotized by the spectacle as everyone else
>>2747563i think its more that they dont think about it much. like, do you feel bad that you accidentally stepped on a few ants on your way to work?
>>2747579Gonna sound like a lib here but I think the only porky that gets spared in the revolution is dolly parton. She created a fucking theme park to give jobs to people out of work after the coal bubble popped in appalachia. She'll also send you free book to read to your kid every week until kindergarten.
I know she's bougie but I can't think of any other rich person who's funded something for the explicit purpose of creating jobs. Normally they only fund things that destroy jobs.
>>2747579The capitalists seethe about minorities and the poor all the time though?
>>2747592Like who? Elon Musk? Most real porkies don't give a fuck about anything dude, not even Musk does. It's all vapid bullshit that serves only their ego one way or another. They just want to sit in their mansions on their islands and rape people and everything else can burn for all they care
>>2747563I feel like they know what they are doing and most of them even have class-consciousness, but they either just rationalize everything away, or are literal sociopaths.
>>2747591>she created a theme park to give people jobs Aka employ them for their surplus value to take
shoot her and her pet bulldog
>>2747591You're the type of uygha to glaze MrBeast
>>2702562It's both.
They don't care and they're delusional.
nihilists but rich
>>2702562it's simple, they do it because they can
Because bourgeois positions select for low empathy, so that's the tendency. If a bougie has the opportunity to grow richer but refrains from doing so due to their morals, that leaves the opportunity vacant for another bougie to take.
Do note that bourgeois position don't usually select for other traits. Some are dull (Musk), some are smarter (Gates), some have low inhibition, while others have low self-awareness. So there's a multitude of different individuals composing this class.
Humans also always partake in ingroup behavior and bourgeois culture often involves displays of cruelty. An anon here correctly pointed out that the initiation rituals they have serve so everyone is compromised and thus willing to cooperate.
they are bored
>>2702562most of the time they aren't, as such. the wonders of modern organizational structure mean that nobody is responsible for evil things that happen. they just happen.
would you become evil just for going to a share trading site and clicking "buy"? the smug, glib answer you could give to play to the crowd is "yes", but you wouldn't really feel it in your heart. but you would be the shareholder who's value is to be maximized, you would be 1-millionth of the end that it's all supposedly for.
for everyone else: there's plenty of distractions, plenty more to be working on. if you think you're doing something for the greater good, or even something abstractly important, what does a little evil factor up against all the other practical problems you face?
also
>>2752662also-also: while occasionally it's just cope, it is also true that sometimes the most apparently evil bourgeoisie aren't so bad compared to the alternative. a sweatshop is evil, and all the evils of it are centralized in the figure of the owners of the sweatshop, but the alternative - everyone being subsistence farmers doomed to die next time there's a drought - is even more evil. it just lacks any individual to blame for that condition.
because to benefit in a system based on violence, you must be as violent and disgusting as possible

>>2702562its in their interest, and the entire ideological and cultural background of society is made to justify it
https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/you-will-be-caught-ten-year-ban-for-sydney-s-highest-earning-real-estate-agent-20260402-p5zl29.html"Josh Tesolin, the former star Ray White real estate agent who banked more than $9 million in commissions last financial year, has been slapped with a decade-long ban from the industry.
The penalty, which also include fines totalling $33,000, is one of the harshest imposed by the industry regulator in recent years. It comes on the back of a three-year investigation that unearthed findings that he engaged in sustained unlawful, improper and dishonest conduct on more than 100 property transactions."
A relative. When you can win this hard even in a country like Australia by being a crook, why wouldn't you feel like you deserve it?
>>2702562capitalism selects for the most sociopathic specimens because they worship dead labor most effectively and without moral scrutiny or self-reflection. most bougies aren't even super evil as much as they are npcs with elevated egos
You say this than simp for Hasan Piker and Billy Elish
The bourgeoisie is most moral according to contemporary moralism (bourgeois)
