I wasn't really talking about Marxism, I was just talking about my own opinion I haven't really read any theory yet. I'm not sure what I think about agency, physics literally denies it.
And of course I don't know the backstory of this person but I'm sure we can both agree that he almost certainly did not have a normal life. Yes I'm still hedging with "almost" but whatever.
I could've sworn you're at least somewhat familiar with Marxism the way you talk about alienation as well as your defense of China, but that's okay, and yes, I agree that the rapist almost certainly did not have a normal life, but there's also a possibility he grew up in a perfectly loving environment and still ended up raping and killing, because sometimes no amount of nurture can change one's nature.
