if the vast majority of your interactions with other people are neutral or positive, absent of transaction or cruelty, I’m very happy for you. genuinely. Unfortunately your personal experience, however, doesn’t invalidate mine; nor does it invalidate the mountains of human awfulness throughout history and up into the present day that I could list off to prove my point – keyword being ‘could’, here, as I’m not very interested in arguing, or in pissing on the parade you’re apparently having.
