Oh right, there’s no free will, if you are poor you will become a murdeorus dog and we have to feel pity for the murderous dogs because there’s no free will, gotcha
Its just about how you feel honestly. I dont think your line of thinking is consistent.
Are people victims of material circumstance or not? Do people get deluded by the environments forced on them by capitalists or not?

I guess the key question is at what point a human stops deserving forgiveness
From an abstract and from a practical point of view
