I’m talking about like, service workers and store employees who are miserable and take their anger out on completely innocent people.

If you’re hot and dress nice would it make it less likely for you to be the target of those pieces of shit?

    Ethics is more complicated than you think it is.

    There is absolutely no reason that the set of rules you learned first would be the actual set of rules that governs people.

    As you have learned, being non-aggressive is not sufficient strategy to avoid others’ aggression.

    There’s no reason to think it would be, except that it was in kindergarten when large authority giants would easily overpower any aggressor, and would by policy do so on behalf of the nonagressive ones.

    Don’t confuse kindergarten rules for global culture. Huge mistake.

    Actual culture evolved from nature, and in nature in order to protect yourself you must retaliate when attacked. Every organism has weapons. Every organism.

    Meditate on that. Why would every organism use some of its previous energy budget building weapons? Why would evolution select for that 100% of the time?
