The average person wants peace in their life.
These are the fringes that the malicious operate best.
Most actually don't want to yell and scream at someone, to escalate a situation, to involve themselves with "authority figures" that do nothing but work preserve the hierarchy around them.
It's exhausting just to exist while we suffer this way of life. People just gotta pick their battles because we are losing the class war.
these malicious actors know the average person wants this peace. They pick and poke ceaselessly like the vultures they are. What are you gonna do about it? Nothing.
Even if you do stand your ground, you will be vilified for putting the front of their face into the back of their skull.
Or if you yell and scream, others will think you're crazy/dramatic/unreasonable regardless of the circumstances.
Or perhaps you plead uselessly to your indifferent "authority figures" who only exist to exploit you in the most efficient way possible. Utterly toothless. Can you be surprised? We are not free while living like this.
