  • That there are decent people doesn’t change that a few that aren’t can asymmetrically harm others. With disease, intention doesn’t even have to enter the equation. COVID wasn’t just hoarding, but causing death. Millions of people. I’m not talking about toilet paper.

    With guns and mass shootings a thousand people being good doesn’t stop the shooter. Even in smaller environments completely separated from systemic forces, bad behavior exists. I’ve known too many people that have been abused or assaulted. You probably do, too, even if you aren’t aware.

    That bad behavior is used as an excuse to exercise power is one thing, but to minimize it to the point of ignoring it is a position that lacks nuance. Anyway, won’t be responding further. We won’t convince each other, especially not with the kind of arguments you’ve presented.
