ByteOnBikesAmericans kinda don't like pickpocketing rule
TʜᴇʀᴀᴘʏGⒶʀʏ⁽ᵗʰᵉʸ‘ᵗʰᵉᵐ⁾When US Americans get painted this way, it feels like a “Humans- Fuck Yeah” story. Like I’m just so used to us having our downsides highlighted that it feels special to be seen for a positive attribute
I interpreted it as a negative, like “Americans are violent,” heh.
I sympathize with the complex though.
We have a hyper sense of justice instilled in us from a young age. It’s like the basis of our country (or so we’re taught).
I’d say it’s more about retribution. There’s a craving for punishment against perceived wrongs.
There’s nothing perceived about someone snatching my wallet. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Snot FlickermanSo committing a crime yourself, assault (and/or assault with a deadly weapon), in response to the first crime, pickpocketing, is suddenly totes okay then? I don’t get it. Seems like retributive extrajudicial punishment to me. Just because it’s a real thing that happened and not just perceived doesn’t suddenly absolve you of committing violent crime in return. If you hospitalize the pickpocket and give them a lifelong limp, you’ve given them far more severe and retributive punishment than just taking their wallet in return.
I mean, who knew, maybe this is why we have laws and shit.
vaultdweller013If I beat the shit out of a pickpocket and give them a lifelong limp too bad so sad, they have a permanent reminder of the principle of fuck around find out or FAFO. I was minding my own business right until they decided to make themselves my business.
Legality is stupid and does factor into 99% of my actions so I will disregard it as a decision making factor.
Lmao you’re unhinged dude. Get a grip and maybe realize the shit in your wallet isn’t more valuable than a human life.
Especially considering its probably all credit and debit cards that you can cancel almost immediately and get any money spent by a thief returned to your accounts. But yeah, someone deserves a lifelong limp because they inconvenienced you. Get the fuck outta here lmao.
You might not support someone like Trump politically but you’re no better than those who voted for him. These attitudes are 100% why US society is deeply fucked, the politics are just a symptom of this violent brainrot.
But is more valuable to me, I barely give an iota of a fuck for my own existence why would I give a damn about some shit heel who introduced themselves to me by trying to take my shit. Much like my height life is short and cheap.
Also I could keep only peanut butter in my wallet, doesn’t mean a pick pocket wouldn’t deserve at minimum a swift kick to the gut for trying to take it. Minding ones business takes literally no energy, making sure others mind theirs takes a bit more, going out of your way to get in other folks business takes a shit tonne more.
And finally the various cultures and nations within the US are broadly based on the principles of minding ones own business. How far that extends varies but it makes sense given how many folks left Europe because other people couldn’t mind their own business. Trump and his supporters are all some type of supremacists be them financial, religious, or racial which is what makes them dangerous not the broad violent tendencies that is present across the US. I can assure you if I murdered a handful of their leaders say every NIFB cocksucker society would greatly improve, for context the NIFB or New Independent Fundementalist Baptists are a bunch christonazis.
Violent. Brainrot.
Says the person who comes across as a moral absolutist. Do you want a cookie profligate?
Lmao, sure I love cookies.
They’re filled with forever chemicals and asbestos. Unironically how a small but old treat company near me got shut down, good riddance tasted like plaster the one time I had one of their so called treats.
Lmao, what are you even trying to say here, dude? Get a grip. Calm down. So fuckin angry at the idea that someone questions your violent tendencies. Gee, I wonder if that anger is proof in itself of your violent tendencies.
Dude I have autism and PTSD, I am nothing but rage. But it’s not necessarily a matter of getting angry at you questioning it per se but more so what I perceive as moral absolutism against violence. I generally take the position against pacifism on an individual level, mostly because 9/10 Americans are all bark no bite which is rather bad with the whole rise of fascism thing. The most expedited method to stopping fascists is to start the killing of them as soon as possible which was about 50 years ago with the foundation of the “moral majority”.
This erroneously assumes new fascists aren’t being born every day. It also erroneously assumes that the threat of retribution deters things like fascism, or crime in general. It’s a weird sort of eugenics where “if we just kill all the fascists there won’t be anymore ever.”
The point isn’t to kill them all it’s to kill their leaders and make examples of them. Do you really think many folks would’ve wanted to cheerfully read off aids death lists back in the 80s if Rush Limbaugh had been vaporized by a car bomb?
Fascists are inherently cowards who back down when an example is made of their louder fellows, there’s a reason they mostly do actions in groups and it’s because they know they’ll get their shit kicked in otherwise. The problem is that this shit kicking is not extended to the leaders, for the sake of so called civility.

I dunno man plenty of science shows that being put to death does basically fuck-all to prevent other people from committing the same kind of crimes. You can hide behind the hope that they’re cowards all you want, but that’s still leaning on assumptions.
So worse case scenario is that fascists keep getting killed via vigilante means. I fail to see the downside.
