    IDK, you should’ve shot him for shoving you. That’s my take.

    Acknowledge the world that you live in, and do the things that you have to, to get by in it.

        Maybe.

        escalating to murder is rarely a good time.

        It’s not an escalation if that’s exactly what the chud that assaulted them came there to do, which it sounds like it was from reading their post.

        At some fucking point you have to actually be willing to defend yourself & your interests against those that would seek to destroy them, and the way you do that in the material world is through violence.

        The only other alternative here, that I can see, is to just not have fucking opinions of any kind, and to accept ones role as an entirely passive social object. Is that what you think the correct option is?

          • The thing I love about the internet is you can say something banal like for example that killing people is bad and should only be done when absolutely necessary and someone will read it and it’s like it’s the first time they’ve ever encountered the idea

            you need to find a way to feel some agency in the world without wanting everyone who insults you dead.

            Did we read the same fucking comment? Because my response was not about an incident where somebody just shouted at another user on the street & calling them a “pinko commie f*g”, or something like that.

            What happened was, that GorbinOut very nearly got into a fatally injurious car collision due to another drivers malicious behavior. They insulted that driver; who then proceeded to follow them home & assault them, eventually with that same vehicle; and my response to that is “you need to be able to defend yourself, possibly by ending this kind of freaks life, before they end yours”.

            At what fucking point is this an unreasonable conclusion to draw from this series of events?
