..to be fair, previous post was titled something to the effect of, "should I kill someone?" If you live in a city where the crime rate rose by 300% (or whatever), sure, it might creep someone out.

This title and follow up are already better, so, maybe it'll work.

I'm resigned to the fact that not only does systemic oppression make my life more dangerous, and other people's lives infinitely more dangerous, there's groups of people actively fanning the various flames pointed at me.

Dying of natural causes seems like an optimistic death nowadays.

Hey, you can still do it if you try.
