So, the "bad guy problem" is premised that there are BAD people. But each of those people were children once who didn't care about your household estate, your equine performance, or your wife's/husbands tits/cock.
So, is the whole formulation of punk/activism wrong? NO. Because, while there are no inherently bad people (cf. Jesus), there are simply people who have not benefitted the SAME WAY and EXTENT of the current incumbents of power and property.
The one who is driven, by debt, greed, or blackmail, to commit atrocities, is very reasonably argued to be "a bad guy" yes. And yes, in the grandest of all inter generational views on human existence, we can look to this "bad" guys causes, what horrors he or she faced as a child, what their parents faced, and theirs ad infinitum and blame it all on Eve. Or Adam. Or that grandest of unfathomables "Our Creator". In the mico, the moment, the event, there are evil, and unforgivable, deeds. There are also deeds and events which institute long lasting systems of leeching upon the majority of a magnitude which is truly impressive to behold (remember the Fed!). In the grandest of grand schemes we can postulate, hold and or believe that all is as it is meant to be, that everything works out karmicly, if not before my eyes now, eventually over time. But for the human who lives his or her life, I owe it to myself to act in pursuance of that which I know to be right, just, and true. To do otherwise is to perpetuate or in the very least, acquiesce to evil, which serves to further "negative" experiences. I have a conscience, which is with me, it is a part of my day to day awareness and experience as a human being. By my conscience, I know good from evil. I am with a will, and, at least within the boundaries of my capacity/ ability, I am able to make choices, to choose one action over another, to speak one sentence rather than another. I choose to do good, not evil. And I stand, where I am able, in support of others who do good things in this world, and not evil things. Together we create our world,
