This has nothing to do with my personal philosophy and everything to do with what motivates people. Some people are bad yes, but the vast majority of people are not, and would not do bad things if they felt they had alternatives.
Why is it important to you to focus on the bad people, when there are many, many more people who aren't bad?
It has everything to do with your personal philosophy. I haven’t met a good person in my life. Here’s your philosophy: “Some people are bad yes, but the vast majority of people are not”
You’re telling me the vast majority of people wouldn’t take advantage of others if they ended up with serious power.
History and personal experience tell me otherwise. People are not basically good.
That's not a philosophy, that's rigorous observational results from a plethora of psychology studies.[0][1][2][3][4][5][6][7] (and so on)
This isn't opinion, and these are just easily accessible sources. There are a lot more, and a lot more rigorous sources, if you're actually interested.
The alignment of incentives and the perception (or lack thereof) of choice does a lot more work than you apparently are aware of.
At this point, it seems like I'm trying to reason you out of an opinion you didn't reason yourself into, which is both sad and futile, so I'm going to stop.
