    im aware that it was largely a rich few that were actually responsible for these acts, im arguing that responsibility isnt all that relevant

    it shouldnt be about chastising or punishing, it should be about getting folks who continue to have an advantage from horrendous acts to help out folks who continue to have a disadvantage resulting from those horrendous acts in order to level the playing field, because thats the right thing to do
