I’m still used to thinking that evil people are mostly caused by material factors and their environment, but with all the stuff I’ve been seeing recently, I’m slowly becoming more and more open to the idea that “sometimes evil is just evil”.

The Western bourgeoisie are the inheritors of the unchecked great resentments, fears, and traumas of all of humanity. Patriarchy. Ownership. Paranoia. Empire. War. The West has developed these in an essentially unbroken process from the cradle of humanity. It is the pinnacle of our collective trauma as a species. Every other society that also had some or all of these was forced to confront their own inner demons when they met the Westerners. It is only th West who has not yet met the West.
