More like shooting a gun into a dark room. Maybe it's empty. Maybe you're a murderer.

Can't see, dont drive.

One of these people is objectively wrong. Sorry.

If my lover breaks my jaw in anger, thats not my fault.

Under no conditions is that my fault, and youre a terrible person if you say it is.

If an adult beats the shit out of a young child, that is, in no circumstance, the child's fault. Youre a terrible fucking person if you say it is.

You can say its not the abusive parent's fault and blame structural issues or whatever, and maybe thats fair sometimes, but still pretty suspicious.

This is like that. Cars are violent, they are inefficient, and they are a choice. You choose to (statistically) sacrifice innocents every time you get behind the wheel. Everything you do while driving is on you. Or possibly the civil engineers and lawmakers who created the situation. Do not blame the victim. The victim is not at fault for having been hurt, for cracking your windshield and stealing bits of safety glass with their face. Under no conditions is a victim at fault. You are at fault for hurting them.

Unless they hacked your car and remotely piloted it to kill them in some sort of elaborate suicide/frame-up, and you literally did not have control of the vehicle. In which case I'd still put some of the responsibility on you, because you put the weapon where they could get it, loaded it, and got in.

But tjose people are so important to society!

See, the very poor/destitute serve as a triple threat to discipline the working class!

As an example of what happens when you dont crush yourself into a life of being exploited

As a release valve for emergency labor-it doesn't have to actually be viable, just believable to enough prople

And as a class they can look down on and fear, an enemy to justify the presence of and valirize the practice of policing, especially when they're forced into close contact. It's why out of the way camps are violently cleared, but there are tents on sidewalks in major cities.

Far prefer the yeast.

Yes. And all the politicians who made it harder to fix this.

I just have a particar grudge against western oil companies for proliferating cars. I'm in train gang pretty hard, and the whole battery patent thing that killed electric cars in the 90s honestly deserved a very active gallows.

And I'd bet more by family than partners, and from other studies I saw years ago: when men are killed by intimate partner violence, its still disproportionately by men.

Yes but fighting back doesn't feel real. Fighting back requires acknowledging the scope of the problem, and is really hard to do without seeing all the other problems connected to it. Its scary. Its a deep-ass rabbit hole, and most people are both conditioned and positioned to not want to fuck with that.

Its cope. Like a weird inversion of the narcissists prayer, excusing their victimizer, because fighting back doesn't feel real, and they need to feel okay. An urge I think is cultural, because our whole thing is exploitation and grinding horror.

It is, in part; a failure of imagination.

Okay, brass in the us military can line up for the guillotine alongside the c suites at Exxon mobile and royal dutch shell

And maybe we can have a long hard conversation about concrete.

You're missing the point.

Its saying not killing cyclists is the job of the people who would be killing cyclists. Its saying operating dangerous heavy machinery is a privilege and it comes with responsibilities. A cyclist us never to blame for a car hitting a cyclist. It is always always always the drivers fault, because they chose to drive a car.

In my opinion a much too common privilege with responsibilities we dont take near seriously enough.
