    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.

      Opening up the “let’s just kill the people we don’t like and don’t want as part of society”

      It’s already open. They are kidnapping people from their homes and work and sending them to die in foreign concentration camps. It’s already here. They’re already doing it.

        Stooping to their level ought to make things better, then.

  I’ve been threatened multiple times by crazy people

  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.
