052 – Kindness Inequality

Bonjour, mes enfants. Today we're talking about empathy and capitalism. Schotti asks: Why do some people struggle so much in life trying to be kind and considerate and live as they want to, while others - on the less considerate side - seem to manage well enough nearly effortlessly? I think you've hit the nail on the head there, Schotti. It takes money to live as you please, and you can't make money if you care. It is a universal truth that every extremely rich person made their fortune by exploiting the proletariat, especially the global south. All of them. Yes, him too, whoever you're thinking of. This is not a new idea. The Ancient Greeks talked about plutomania, an obsession with wealth. Dante Alighieri put the 'hoarders and wasters' in the fourth circle of hell. And of course, a rich person cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. There's also studies that point to wealth having a detrimental effect on mental health and relationships. Having a lot of money makes you worse as a person. It kills your empathy - you can't make money if you see the people you exploit as people. And if you throw money at all your problems, you don't have to develop creativity, social skills, community... all things that build kindness, empathy and understanding. Excessive wealth is a sickness and should be treated as such. Unfortunately, the system is set up in their favour - for now. In the meantime I urge you: defend your kindness with your life. Dig your feet firmly into the ground. Remember you are human, lest wealth finds you. Help each other, because these parasites won't. And we have to outlive them. That's all for today, kiddos. If you can, spread the wealth through some mutual aid and listen to a little Jacques Brel for morale. I love you, comrade.
