  • Well they would rather kill and eat “The Others” than take the time to understand if they are wrong or not.

    I remember speaking to a very well educated lady who led sales. The company was in financial trouble and the CEO was discussing us using prison labour to do work because it was dirt cheap.

    I was quite surprised and expressed a moral objection to using what I saw as slaver labour (this is in the US btw). The lady said and I still remember her “Well they should not have done something bad.”

    What astounded me was this lady college/grad school educated lady allowed herself to be this lazy with her reasoning. That was it - a kindy level nuanced thought backed by an adult level of cruelty.

    Thankfully the CEO had more of a heart and since he had opened up the question to debate to hear all sides it was dropped (we all took a massive pay cut instead so we could maintain the most amount of headcount).

    Point being, people are lazy thinkers and will eat their neighbours as long as there is something they can point out to create a division between the others and themselves.
