Yup. Honestly, I don’t like most people. I’m known as very friendly and I have close friendships, people trust me, and I do have sizeable groups of people I like but 95% of the population I do not and will likely never want to be anywhere remotely near if at all possible…
…AND YET I still want everyone to be better. I still live in a city and I still willingly take and support public transit despite owning a car. Today, I gave a homeless guy a protein shake for him and treats for his dog. I gave someone I detest my gloves during a fire alarm which put us all put in the cold because they couldn’t get to their jacket before leaving. I do NOT understand how their can be people so full of hate that they not only have literally violent reactions to other people existing but that they will hurt themselves in order keep others from even a small amount of peace. It’s honestly a huge stress point because how the fuck are things supposed to progress if that’s how so many people are?
The sad thing is that it doesn’t even require caring for others.
It’s in everyone’s best interest to reduce crime before they become victims therefore it’s in your best interest to fight poverty.
The wealthy may be insulated from the consequences of their choices but surely the other 99% vote in their own best interest, right?

The root is fear. Convince people to be afraid of something, they will let you completely reprogram their mind. Fuck, they’ll even beg you to do so…
Lots of people are afraid and not doing horrible things to others, I don’t buy that excuse anymore.
Oh, I don’t mean it that way. People that use their fear and insecurities to justify hated can fuck right off to the deepest layers of hell!
