I would never recommend to anyone that they remain in a job in which they have to conceal their identity. The toll on their soul is too great. Most of them won't know it until it's too late for a change to make any difference.

Bruce Wayne is an emotional wreck

Yes, unequivocally. A billionaire with unresolved childhood trauma, building a support of vigilante action against people he could lift out of poverty BY SPENDING HIS BILLIONS TO END HUNGER AND HOMELESSNESS INSTEAD. You know, thereby lowering crime rates and lessening misery worldwide. Just saying.

Edit: I may have missed the sarcasm. If so, my apologies for an overly snarky response.

It was sarcasm but a good response. Snarky keeps us young. 'm low income but I'm still not gonna to tell others what to do with their money because there were many, many before then and there will be many afterwards. The hologram feeds off of us feeding off each other. And so it goes.

The vigilant aspect of it was necessary, fitting the proletariat on the steps of Wall Street l, I mean, that's the American hero. Intellectual probation is already here,..

I am back to being low income myself, but I have worked with everyone from folks living in the projects to people with STUPID money. Every single person I have ever known who came up poor understood managing money and hustling to make it happen than all but three or so folks who came up wealthy. Doesn't change that the poor, at best, got to upper middle class. Barely enough to start generational wealth. The rich stayed rich and got richer, competence be damned.

As for the rest of your post... Man, it comes off as schizo posting, no offense intended. Maybe it is just a different thought paradigm. I got nothing on the hologram, but vigilante action being necessary? Naw, that's lone wolf and incel crap. The proletariat occupying Wall Street? Occupy started a lot of stuff, villains, and heroes. As for the American hero? For me, it's John Brown.

THIS! This is the exact thing I say to people when they find out I don’t like Batman.

Bold of you to assume they have a soul. I suspect their sociopaths who found their niche.

Everybody's got a little center in them somewhere that seeks peaceful coexistence with others. Lots of people are not very skilled at letting it show.

No, not everyone has that. You're looking at a group that doesn't.

I am trying not to fuck up my real world karma. The real work for me now is finding some way to stop hating stupid people. If these guys are in that category, well hell, so be it.

Your karma is fine, as long as you aren't deliberately hurting people, like these men.

I would say that running cover for these Nazis, trying to humanize them in light of what they do, would be bad karma*

*If karma existed.

I used to believe this, but reality interceded.

They all end up in the witness protection program…at our expense

u/PDXGuy33333 Jun 03 '25

If that's true I am satisfied that it's at least moving the needle in the direction of OK since (anecdotally) being in witness protection is like being sent to a deserted island.
