I tell myself that there is good in everyone but the world has been testing me these past few years

    Remember that people are often stupid, not evil. You can do pretty awful things if you're dumb enough. Someone's razor, forgot who's

    I know a lot of stupid people who choose to be good as well. Stupid people who know to trust scientists and who want to share and all that good stuff. Then there are the violent, monkey-brained goons whose only method of communicating is unfiltered violence. The latter are pathetic in all senses and no amount of being stupid will be an adequate enough excuse for their actions.

    "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." - Hanlon's razor

    For the people in the image though, the only solace I find is knowing that they are motivated primarily by fear.
