For some reason your rhetorical question about fighting everyone reminded me of this very important quiz. Know thyself or something.

paequ2@lemmy.today 6 days agoI walk through my day and most people’s demeanor hasn’t changed in the slightest
I’m unhappy and angry at the situation. But, am I supposed to mope around all day or have depressing conversations with everyone I meet? Should I start fighting every Trump supporter in my small town?

I don’t know. I just know maybe we hold back when we shouldn’t. Doesn’t that just demonstrate their control over us?

It’s hard to truly internalize this but no matter what you think about something and/or how wrong you think someone else is, we are walking through life with imperfect imaginings of what other people think and feel. Trying to make sense of people is even harder than making sense of a person. And we are quite literally incapable of truly knowing what goes on in someone else’s head.
Definitely ask these questions but don’t drive yourself crazy if people don’t make sense. The behaviors and actions we witness in others are only the emergent characteristics of a lot of brain activity that we aren’t privy to.

Maybe it’s time to be a little crazy. If “a little crazy” is living in an autocracy.
