idk it feels kinda weird to me how much generalizing she’s doing. “based on online comments sections, no one will admit they get jealous or are annoying or hurt other people’s feelings” just sounds like she’s hanging out in the wrong spaces online? ironically uncharitable take, most people are in fact observably more self-aware than that
She’s not wrong but I’d like to say I’m definitely better than at least, at the minimum 40% of the population in this world and 60% of the u.s population. And let me say I have faults I acknowledge and admit them, but I don’t have faults nowhere near other mfs in this world. Like I’m not in prison and thats the bar, and I don’t mess with children that’s lower than the bar.
Man, absolutely not at any given point the incarcerated prison population is ~2 million people; that’s including state prison, federal pen and state jails but not accounting for county jails. Also not accounting for people on probation or on parole; state or federal. I’m talking about adults; adults make 78% of the U.S. population, I know I’m better than 60% out of 78% of adults.
Not to me but to society, let’s start with not minding their own business. The gay couple 10 states away did nothing to the old woman in a mega church why is she worried about their marriage instead of the pastor who is stealing. The IBLP cult hide that many of their male members assault minors, that’s a problem to me. Many people drink and drive and say it’s not a problem, I always will be better than them. So yeah I can be the above average person and better than 60% of adults in the U.S.
proving yourself wrong right out the gates by admitting that you think every person in prison is necessarily a worse person than you are cause of course there are no wrongful convictions, victimless crimes, small-time weed dealers, kids who did one or two inconsequential acts of vandalism or trespassing on abandoned buildings, people who resorted to shoplifting because they couldn’t afford to eat…
Wrongful convictions don’t make up as much as you think it does of people in prison/jail and I hope you know the difference and consequentially you are speaking about a very tiny portion of the population less than 2% of the prison population. But for the big four, murder, rape, burglary, arson yeah I’m better than them. And people who abuse elderly and child, if I can’t help them at the very least I won’t hurt them. I don’t know why that’s hard to grasp.
I love how you seem to think that whatever source you pulled this 2% statistic from must be like, objective and omniscient. as if god themself had whispered it in your ear lmao no one knows the true rate of wrongful convictions, because the police & court systems are our means of attempting to determine the truth of these matters—when those means fail us, we generally don’t have any way of knowing. you weren’t thinking critically about this at all
there are also plenty of people locked up on murder charges who simply snapped and killed abusive parents or spouses out of self defense but whose lawyers weren’t powerful enough to present their case effectively—you’re not automatically morally superior to them. folks who commit burglary during a low point out of desperation are capable of growing and changing, too. hopefully you’re capable of doing the same!
Neither are you, that’s what ACLU champions for and works on and is one of their biggest pillars. You think someone saying they at the minimum better than the worst people of society is so bad is a problem, cause why would anyone want to be comparable of the worst people. At the bare minimum if you can’t help people at least don’t hurt them and the rock bottom of people can’t do that. The fact you can’t accept that is proof you aren’t better you’d rather tear it down than admit.
