This is like saying a person isn't a murderer for just pointing a gun at someone and pulling the trigger...

Because all that does is put a bullet where they aimed the gun

You clearly need to know the difference so let me help you:

Something bad happens: It is the fault of socialism

Something bad happens because of a company: Clearly the company is just looking out for its best interests and even if it's at fault it's unspeakable to blame the system for the actions of one bad company on the system that incentivizes companies to do that. Have you considered people are lazy?

I hope that helped.

Ah you're right, why hold individuals accountable when we can just blame the system and absolve them of responsibility

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Neither of those are mutually exclusive. You can and should do both.

Personally responsibility should be enforced.

But a system that not only encourages but rewards that behavior should be dismantled/changed/attacked.
