  It must be nice, living in a fantasy world where good people win because they’re good and the bad guys get to sit in jail for being bad.

    Meh, I’ve been threatened multiple times by crazy people, even cops.

    I’ve found that staying chill and just walking away from crazies has successfully prevented me from getting a bullet to the head.

    Two wrongs never make a right. Kill them with calm kindness.

      Feel free to turn a blind eye to reality, not all of us are priveleged enough to do so.

        I’m not turning a blind eye to reality at all. I totally get it, life itself is a risk.

        I’m 43 years old, and have enough common sense to not agitate crazy people. I’ve had my share of crazy experiences to know, that being chill is way better and safer than sinking to the level of violence.

        I've seen discussions about the future of automation where people speculate "what will rich people do with the general population when they're no longer necessary to keep industry running for them?"

        Opening up the "let's just kill the people we don't like and don't want as part of society" box seems like a bad idea in a context like that.

      They’re past threatening. They’ve already started the violence. The president raped children and his followers are throwing people into concentration camps. And your solution is “just walk away”? What the fuck is wrong with you.
