Do you think people deserve the treatment they get in life?

[Anonymous]

We live in a system which sets high standards and meeting these is s bit of a challenge sometimes

Yes, it's their own fault

No, too much pressure gets put on behaving correctly all the time

I don't care what others think about me

This is a very interesting split:
Only females answered yes and only males answered no, whilst the people replying are all male, well, according to profile that is.

So does that make women more fatalistic than men? I don't think so.
A lot of it is down to gender based on social conditioning imho

D. Too much pressure which causes bad choices, kinda making it their fault…but not really.

There was a great Ted talk about poor people being constantly under the gun, worked to death. And their decision making goes into the toilet. So in the end, is it their fault? I don't know.

Most troubles are caused by the few organisers of emotional terror. I know a bunch of them in person. No one in the world wants to do anything about it. So it isn't going to be my problem.

It makes women privileged and men abused. So women said 'yes, I deserve having all that I like' and men said 'I don't deserve suffering for the little bitches'

I'm speaking in particular and about mostly my experience in the capitalistic society which is America, so that is something to take into regard. America is very much so pro consumerism/materialism and I think as such, to get the newest thing, you have to have money.
I'm going to get slightly political and dip my toes into race a little bit, but I think that the idea that there isn't systemic racism in America is both idiotic and an unfortunate disadvantage for people of color (POC). Not to mention that to succeed in America, most of the time you have to do away with morals...

I think there can be very little justice when it comes to getting what you deserve in life. That doesn't mean though that it never happens, sometimes it does.

That doesn't mean we need to conform to them either.
