Any time we find ourselves benefactors of evil, we must advocate against it and thank anyone who may have explained to us where we stand.

Advocating against bad actions is different than going homeless because your parents did something wrong. You can't assume that they didn't and can't assume they deserve any punishment for what their parents do.

If a man does terrible things to support his family, the inevitable destruction of his family falls on his head. Not the other people he ripped off.

It's pointless to ask any of these peanut gallery NPCs where they keep their 1.6 million dollars, because their milquetoast "peace and love, maaaan" world view guarantees they will never have what it takes to earn such an amount in the first place.
