We have decided some brain quirks are disorders (and get accommodations, as is compassionate), whilst others are flaws (and get slurs). But no one picks their hardware. You cannot earn a better prefrontal cortex or deserve a calmer amygdala. Nor does one get to pick the environment they are born in, which will inform their choices later in life. Even the capacity to “learn better” is a roll of the dice, some brains start the race with sprinting shoes, others with lead weights.
So when we call someone stupid, lazy or insane we are not describing a choice, but simply announcing which kinds of unlucky we’ve decided are worthy of scorn.
Cruelty is merely a label we put upon an action we find harmful. Like every word, it is made up.
No word is the thing it points to. Except perhaps the word, “word” itself. Every word I have written is a small lie.
One does not go around licking recipes in order to taste the dish.
Well, then use the words you mean. Cruelty was clearly an incorrect one. We can’t exchange ideas effectively of you refuse to use words with their assigned meaning.
Please feel free to get familiar with semantics.

Now if you have an actual argument for why free will exists, please do argue that. Else, I have said as much as needed.
I didn’t ever claim free will existed. Just congratulated you on your success.
Now if you want a world free of strife, that’s more of a task even in a pre-determined universe.
