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.

You realise beating up a pickpocket is itself a stupid game that will get you in jail, right?

If the idea is that I can’t defend my own property then I understand why pickpocketing is so rampant elsewhere.

I don’t want to kill or shoot anybody, but I’m not gonna just hand it over with a smile on my face.

Yeah I feel like I am in crazy town. If you don’t want your ass kicked keep your hands out of my pocket. There will be consequences and they will be lopsided.

I think it’s hilarious that Americans think they will always win every fight. Everyone the hero of their own stupid Judge Dredd story right up until they get stabbed and left to die in an alley by the thief.

And I wonder how many of the people promoting this kind of thought say they’re against people like Trump, yet this kind of thinking exactly like that of Trump and his ilk.

Grow the fuck up, dude. You can still join the civilized world anytime you want because they believe people can grow and change and should have the opportunity to do so instead of being crippled by some fuckwit who is angry about their wallet.

Yes punching someone a few times and holding them down until the police come is totally what judge dredd is about.

You’re still living in a fantasy land where you’re able to successfully pull that off every time this happens and not get your own shit rocked. You’re also living in a fantasy land where punching someone a few times while they’re down on the pavement and cracking their skull into the concrete won’t completely alter their lives, far more than you losing your wallet would alter yours.

Get a grip on reality, dude.

I feel like I have a better grip than you honestly. You probably let people walk all over you.

For credit cards and debit cards I can instantly cancel, get replaced, and have any money spent returned to my accounts? Yeah, I definitely let someone walk all over me by having 20 minutes of inconvenience instead of violently trying to ruin that persons life over 20 minutes of inconvenience. Lmao, violent brainrot.

Cool story chief. That’ll teach em. Sorry it’s a hard lesson. Don’t touch my shit.
