Immoral Nihilism?

4. If you are kind

But other people don't really matter to you, it wouldn't matter, if that was how the human condition usually presents itself.

But it's not

An example;

Say an idea is more important than an individual, we'll take some form of evangelical religion as an example. The person with this idea is kind, he/she wish every one to have the grace their religion bestows upon practitioners, they aren't pushy, but they know a horrible punishment will happen to those not accepting their religion after life ends. They are convinced of this. They are saddened by it, but are very kind to individuals and groups of non-believers. Then opportunity happens in the form of a culture; an economically and spiritually oppressed population happens along. The original believer, now in an completely imbalanced power dynamic, (the one with power) respecting his/her ideals more than individuals, knows exactly what to do.

Now, These oppressed people have a rich tradition and culture of their own. But that is not what is important. What's important is that they follow the correct path.

When you think your idea is more important than other people, in this circumstance, the 'other' will be subsumed by opportunity.

And history has many samples of this very thing.
