One of question I have about “the Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas” is “walk away to where?” I’d argue most societies cause more misery for less benefit.
When I read it in school, the story frustrated me because I immediately wanted to create Omelas seeing as it’s a thousand times better than our society, so I didn’t really get the point of the intended and/or common interpretations.
