    The world is run by bad people. Those who are in power pay for and set the framework for what is acceptable in popular culture. In popular culture we are told that revenge is bad.
    If I was a bad person, I would want people to believe that they would be just as bad as me, if they treated me as I treat them.
    I believe you should be treated like shit if you treat people like shit

      Yeah, moral prohibitions tend towards supporting the form of society - and so it always just happens to include the bits that protect the assholes in charge. Don't use poison, don't use crossbows against knights, don't gang up on people, don't seek revenge, don't target infrastructure, don't do the things that might actually let you change your world against those with more power.
