Since Capitalism is just a method to distribute goods and services, it can’t be good or evil. There is no intent. The problems arises when humans use capitalism. A natural process occurs that creates oligarchs. So most people apply the evil label to it. It is not meant to be taken literally.

Just to be clear. You aren’t saying Genocide justifies Genocide right?

Why is everyone jumping to the psychopath narrative? Is there background on this guy? Why bring up crying children? This feels like a Phy Op to me and some people replying in this post are glowing a bit…

Ohhh a double good day! I must have hit a nerve. Buddy, if you are racist, you should consider not being racist, it makes people dumb.

“How dare you try to inquire further when I say something vaguely racists. Good Day Sir!”

I can see you don’t really care the details here. Have a nice life.

I don’t understand how these two statements don’t contradict each other.

reduce the overall population or

Killing one seagull or rat if there is hundreds of them in some area achieves neither of the three

So, we doom the man to be a psycho even though he may not be one?

may mean that this person has either psychopathic or sociopathic tendencies

Thus, fucking psycho.

But two rats will eventually create 100 rats. So you are kind of creating more death. Why not just kill the two rats?

This statement?

You are trying to kill as many individuals in a very short time span to cripple the population growth

So if a house had one rat, killing it wouldn’t count as pest control because it’s not killing many individuals?

Can you expand your “Maybe” answer to my assertion that this is a human problem not just a western problem?

If it isn’t a human problem, what is it?

Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply you were ok with killing anything, bad wording on my part.

When is killing a pest consider pest control and when is it not pest control?

What are you using for pest categorization? Why are you okay with a seagull stealing your chip and not a rat?

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood.

I mean if it’s a fun hobby of yours, go for it. But you know the history of this stuff as well as I do. It comes with a lot of baggage and people are not going to respond well to it. The group of people that will respond well to it, let’s just say, I don’t think you want to keep their company. Unless of course you are racist, in which case, you’d be fine.

Sorry, I think I got my wires crossed between your post and someone else’s. You were not claiming the person killing the seagull was a psychopath.

No, I don’t take it personally and I would agree with you if you’re asserting these differences are cultural. Unless you’re saying this is genetic?

Edit: cultural or a result of societal pressure. I don’t mean to imply that particular cultures are bad.

Between person to person. Yeah that’s fine. But comparing population to population is dangerous. Once you know, what do you do with that information?

Historically, this line of thinking has never worked out very well. And as time goes on, who cares, we’ll all breed together anyway.

Fascinating! So what about exterminators killing bugs? Does the size of the creature matter?

True, but there was a layer of law below it. So there was at least some documented consistent process for which power was used for the most part. Now it’s pretty much anything goes.

Okay well if it’s cultural then culture can be changed. So if you’re an easterner, you need to be careful that you don’t end up like westerners. The ideological plague that hit westerners can get easterners as well.

At the end there, It kind of seemed like you were heading back towards the race argument.

What about a person who works in a meat processing plant? Killing hundreds of chickens a day. Are they a psychopath?
