Can I make it any more obvious?

    Surely losing the bagage and making the money he needed to setup his family was the priority in that case?

    Jesse was a tool, he needed that tool to achieve his goals in a limited time frame, rehabing two addicts is time consuming and difficult under the best circumstances.

    A bit of a sociopath take sure, but Heisenberg may have been one in the end.

      That was, in fact, wrong.

      Just because there is a high priority present doesn’t magically make it ok to throw your humanity out the window… Why do I have to explain this!? Are you a sociopath?!

      That ENTIRE SHOW was about how he had many chances to choose to not be a piece of shit. Every spiral was because of him. He is, in fact, a terrible person, and the fact you cannot understand that is concerning. Having one singular noble goal does NOT magically absolve him of all of his terrible decisions.

        My original reply was joking about killing Windows not being wrong, then obviously we’ve pivoted into talking about the actual show.

        Two separate sentiments entirely.

        Walter was a monster who put his own ambitions above others needs, safety and lives. You happy I cleared that up?

          They started out by saying Walter White did nothing wrong.

          Then they followed up by describing WW actions as a sociopath. Which makes what he did, in fact, wrong.

        this is exactly the struggle of the early 21st century.

          Those problems persist to this day. Just like how Trump (didn’t) delt with COVID.

          “The economy” took precedence over peoples’ health, even though peoples’ activity makes the economy… By allowing so many to die, the US’ economy will produce far less than it would have for decades to come. They failed even at the direct goal they were aiming for…

          The short-sightedness is the problem. People who think they even can defocus on any goal are only succeeding in deluding themselves.
