I think the important difference is that they offend in 2 different ways. Bullying offends your … what, ego? And deception offends your morals? Or something like that.
I guess both offend your basic wellbeing too.
The thing about being deceived is you don’t know when it’s happening.
To be fair copyright is a disease. But then so is billionaires, capitalism, business, etc.
I mean, if there’s a war, and you shoot somebody, does that make you bad?
Yes and no.
I think that deception is the deeper badness. You could be deceived to the eyeballs and never know it. You’d think that you’re right, and all your friends are right, and everybody who disagrees is wrong and bad.
