  • Same. I’ll check out things around me like any normal person, but I rely on my hearing to tell my eyes to look for something specific.

    I think too, some people have a very wild imagination. There’s no second thoughts getting in a car, despite the chances of being seriously harmed in one making the chances of being attacked in public comparatively inconsequential. You are just extremely unlikely to ever meet one of the very few people that would initiate unprovoked public attack. But parents, crime shows, and movies tell us otherwise—it doesn’t hurt to be cautious, anyway.

    Americans are indoctrinated by their media and society to be segregated into political and social camps that have tribal wars with each other. That’s all priority no. 1 for them rn and it spills over.

    It’s just people bickering about social and political issues like gender, misinterpretation of isms, social hierarchy, etc. But because Americans don’t do anything but compete amongst each other, they bring their problems here where it echoes out into nothingness and disintegrates. But so long as they feel they were heard or had an online “win”, they get a dopamine hit and sense of progress, entirely ignorant to their apathy.

    This can feel, at times, the place that attracts the biggest losers. Like all the troll characters out of South Park’s Skank Hunt saga. But there is also a huge amount of insecurity and desire to be spotlighted. What society thinks of a person is also always a really important thing they’ll post about—just is, they really, really care for some reason.

    Moosh that all together and you got a bunch of apathetic, socially anxious, and insecure people that lack social tact and empathy, hidden on keyboards, watching their world fall apart but hoping someone besides them will help it.

    I literally thought of this yesterday.

    “Hold up. Why have I been put in this situation? Where’s those responsible? Has anyone gone after the bridge guy, the brakes guy? Is anyone trying to get the sick fucks tying people down on tracks? What’s being put in place to prevent this? Fences?Cameras? E-brakes? Who has liability and are they getting investigated?”

    “Just Shutup and choose.”

    “I guess B is most logical.”

    “Oooh, you’re a sick murderer and just want people dead!”

    It’s hard to participate when most people only have an A/B, us/them, left/right, right/wrong mentality view on things when it’s obviously more complex when viewed from a few steps back. It’s being stuck in either yard or on the fence, but if you climb a tree you’ll realise there’s many more yards and fences to the street to consider.
