It’s more than a few is the problem. In fact it’s heavily skewed in the favor of bad apples. There are more half rotted apples than there are pure clean apples.

It’s in our instincts to be selfish outside of small populations.

For me personally it’s because looking at human history we haven’t really changed when it comes to humanity itself. All we’ve done is increase our ability to procreate and harvest resources.

We’re still the same selfish violent monkeys we were 150,000+ years ago. Now we just have shiny toys to kill things with instead of rocks.

Yes. We’ve had our chance. We sucked the entire time.

150,000+ years of suck.

Have you ever dealt with a bully’s parents? Have you ever even dealt with a bully?

Schools tend to favor bullies. Mainly because their parents are fucking crazy and will threaten all kinds of shit and most normal people don’t want to deal with that.

Tell that to the parents who let their kids do whatever they want and will completely flip their shit if anyone dares threaten their “perfect little angel”

To everyone else don’t set your kids up for failure.

My point is kids are going to be shitheads regardless. Why would you give them a perfect target?

That’s half of my whole point 💀

Shit people exist. It’s hard enough when everything’s normal.

Imagine how much worse it would be for some kid with a name that’s actually weird not just slightly.

I mean I don’t even have that odd of a name but even in adulthood it’s made fun of occasionally.

I can only imagine someone named after some fantasy story.

Yeah but it’s also the parents responsibility to give their child a non stupid name that won’t get them ridiculed their whole life.

Parents being quirky with names is how you end up with kids getting bullied forever.

Edit: Glad to see all the people who weren’t bullied downvoting this. My name isn’t even that weird and I still get made fun of for it. Don’t give your kids stupid names.

Gmod idiot box was my version of this

I mean with all the shit that world governments are constantly pulling it really wouldn’t surprise me at this point.

Like whistleblowers disappear all the time or are labeled crazy people.

Imagine a govt employee suddenly ranting and raving about aliens or extra dimensional beings. Even if he had proof it wouldn’t be hard for the govt to make him look like a crackpot or make it seem like he had a mental breakdown.

Edit: Y’all I’m not saying I actually believe this shit just that I wouldn’t be surprised.

Yeah but it’s not a stranger in the song

I mean conceptually that sounds fine like our vehicles should be inspected to ensure proper maintenance. The only problem I can see with that is poor people like myself.

I’ve gotten ticketed for having a loud exhaust because I was a pizza delivery driver and our cities roads are so bad doing the speed limit will total your car. I didn’t have the money to fix my exhaust which is what I told the officer who basically said “Now you’ll have even less money” before handing me the $150 ticket.

I need a car for work (I don’t work pizza anymore but still have a 30 minute drive) just because one aspect of my car isn’t up to code doesn’t mean I don’t still need my car to get to work.

That’s never happened to me in my life. The only time the state ever “inspects” my vehicle is if I’ve already been pulled over for something like my exhaust

Vehicle regulations are typically only for emission standards or exhaust loudness. For the most part as long as the vehicle can do the speed limit there’s very little regulation on the matter.

I mean there’s a reason there’s warning labels on everything about not doing the most obvious thing you should never do.

Streisand effect hits hard

Yeah peace through making the bad guys submit. Not rolling over and just letting them take whatever they want because “well if we actually did anything it would cause a scene”

Like a cop seeing someone break a law and going “wow that sure sounds like a lot of paperwork” and them walking away

I don’t think peace through submission was the original goal here though is the point
