Someone is doing well
Couple options follow:
-it’s great and inspiring — lets do the same
-it’s great for them but not good for me — let’s not do this
-it’s great for them but not good for anyone else — let’s not do this
+I don’t know what to make of it
now all of those options exist,
the moral option is of course the most debatable, most related to philosophy and the world and politics,
MAYBE that’s why it’s such a good excuse
…you don’t have to “prove” your position,
and you don’t have to defend your passivity, impotence,
because you can assert that you merely don’t feel comfortable with this likely immoral thing
if you knew the concept, you could even invoke the precautionary principle
except you’re of course also passing a moral judgement
and that is no longer so defensible
in fact, it’s not at all defensible
unless of course you defend it
but you won’t, will you
you don’t even care about winning,
let alone abstract moral and ethical problems,
their abstraction makes them a perfect empty buzzword, slogan — to virtue fucking signal
Most winners are fucking winners,
They ain’t immoral frauds
Winning requires fashioning reality
That alone is indicative of skill, knowledge, wisdom even
That alone is admirable — even if that skill is used in violation of our norms and moral understanding
But of course in most cases it is done in accordance with our norms and within our systems — for it is simply ADVANTAGEOUS
It allows taking advantage of those systems,
And allows maintaining long-term, mutually beneficial relationships
But that’s besides the point,
It’s you casting the moral aspersion,
While conspicuously explaining away your loserdom
The burden of proof is on you
I suppose most losers are just losers
Ex nihilo nihil fit
You didn’t become a loser because you lost
You always were a loser, a person who doesn’t try to win, but instead looks for excuses
You settled on greater or lesser loserdom — which is all fucking loserdom — for it is all failure to continue progressing, growing,
But that’s again besides the point,
I don’t trust you noticing a winner, only to cast aspersions upon them
That’s loser behaviour
It is also iniquitous
Unless of course your accusation is very well thought out and argued,
