a lot of people are radicalized because they say hi to people and get told off for their basic politeness/decency?
I’m repeatedly shocked at how hostile people are to me the past few years, in a way they never were previously in my entire life. And well, it’s because they have been convinced that even when I pick up the wallet they dropped on the ground to give it back to them, I must be ‘attacking’ them. because they are indoctrinated that all men are evil nonsense.
and i imagine if I was younger I’d find these experiences a lot more damaging to my psyche, because I might not have ever known a time when being kind to a stranger was considered a threat, like I did when I was young.
you realize that the inverse is also true.
