Yea cos usually rascist people have clean and thought reasons to hate people that they never met.
Comment on Help me understand littering
Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 3 months agoyou can understand violence and racism, but not littering?
Yeah. I can imagine what a racist would say if I confronted them about it. They always have a reason for thinking that way and to them that reason seems valid. I can’t imagine what such justification a litterbug would have other than “I just don’t give a shit” so in other words; they know they’re in the wrong and simply don’t care.

But isn’t the justification/state of mind for all bad behavior “I don’t give a shit”? If they gave a shit, they wouldn’t be doing it.
The root justification for littering has already been said somewhere: someone has trash in their hands, they don’t want trash in their hands because trash is disgusting to touch. It’s annoying to keep carrying it around. Thus they open their hands.

It goes both ways. Not all racists have the legitimate ignorance excuse - many just want a convenient excuse to have an “other” to blame their problems on so that they don’t have to take responsibility for their own failures in life.
In a way littering is similar - some folks just don’t give a fuck, others were raised not to think twice about it and so they don’t. The second group can probably be educated though.
There are ignorant people in every group who can be reasoned with and realize they’re wrong, and change.
And there are malicious dickheads who just don’t give a fuck who their destructive behavior hurts in the process and will continue on their path to watch the world burn.
The issues themselves aren’t always the main qualifier.
