Well, assuming that you include almost everyone in the first world among rapacious exploiters and thieves, I suppose that is closer to the truth than the other. I'm not sure it's much use for convincing people though.

What? You don't think you're as much a rapacious exploiter and a thief as most other rich people?

No, I don't. I see very well the consequences of what I do professionally, and when another score of people are unemployed because of it, it disgusts me to be honest with you. I'd like to do something else, in fact, and am looking at this.

I also do not think all in the 1st world are as you describe; the world is at it is because of the elites in that 1st world, and the economic system they seek to perpetuate for their increasing gain, at the expense of workers in both developed and developing countries. Most of us are just along for the ride, and many of us do not want to be.
