I am allways fascinated by people who just have to do things that will cause them a lot of problems.
I get that they lack empathy, that much is clear, but where is their sense of self preservation?
Part of me is envious that they have so few problems that they deliberately make more for themselves.
What, you're trying to tell us that you were never so comfortable with your station in life that you uh... printed off scrabble tiles to make matching necklaces that spell out a racial slur as a teen??? Geeze what a tragically empty life you must have had.
Compared to others, my teens were what they would call empty, but I had a good and calm time in my teens.
I did some things as a teen that would absolutely humiliate me today if blasted on the internet. I even bullied people as a teen, so we’re talking real dirtbag stuff.
Still. I never was even slightly tempted to take a pic with friends and a slur around my neck, so I guess I have that going for me.
Maybe they want to run to be GOP officials, this is a prerequisite
I used to be a reckless teen. I just didn't use my foresight. The payoff of doing the joke/dangerous thing is more worth it than self preservation when you're a dumb kid.
They're high schoolers, it hasn't developed yet lol.
They have been openly racist for a long time, and it has never mattered. Now that their racism is on the news, this is first time it has had consequences. So they never felt there was any self preservation to take into consideration.
That sounds depressingly realistic
Yup, reality often sounds that way. I saw a lot of this in my life.
