After all, not only is there no right or wrong anyway, but these people don't even choose to act as they do.
So how can you justify being angry at the person who rapes, kills, steals, lies, cheats, is conservative, is religious, likes Trump, IS Trump, etc etc? Am I missing something?
Not sure if this has been pointed out already but apologies if it has (I don't have time to read 30 pages).
If there is no free will, then there is no need to justify any kind of response, because that response isn't a choice. So it's not like someone chooses to get angry because a person acts a certain way. They get angry that a person acts a certain way because that is the way their brain works and responds to that stimuli.
It's like asking a car why it goes forward when it's in gear and its gas pedal is pushed. It doesn't choose to do that, that's how the internal mechanism works.
