And yet, higher level morals is a privilege of those with their most basic needs met.

Humans are still animals, and animals hunt down animals. It's not cruelty on their end. It's survival.

Fuck them, but only because I'm lucky enough to be able to afford sympathy for other living creatures.

It’s a myth that they are all poor and they’re not hunting to eat anyways. Fuck em

They're not in survival stage though. Like the article said, it's about "feeding their family for decades" and "sending their daughter to study".

That's the stage after survival, it's building for the futur. And if you're willing to trample others to build your futur you're a bad person, simple as that
