    The mentality where you think people “deserve” things, I think it’s just irrational. If your goal in politics is to do best by all, then you’re working against your goal. If that’s not your goal, then it should be. Wishing harm on anyone is literally a last resort when there is no preferable option and where more good comes out of that harm than bad - otherwise it’s an ethical negative. It’s alarming to me how few people seem to have thought through that logic.
