There's a pretty wide gulf between killing other people and complete passivity. you need to find a way to feel some agency in the world without wanting everyone who insults you dead.
The thing I love about the internet is you can say something banal like for example that killing people is bad and should only be done when absolutely necessary and someone will read it and it's like it's the first time they've ever encountered the idea

Did we read the same fucking comment? Because my response was not about an incident where somebody just shouted at another user on the street & calling them a "pinko commie f*g", or something like that.
What happened was, that GorbinOut very nearly got into a fatally injurious car collision due to another drivers malicious behavior. They insulted that driver; who then proceeded to follow them home & assault them, eventually with that same vehicle; and my response to that is "you need to be able to defend yourself, possibly by ending this kind of freaks life, before they end yours".
At what fucking point is this an unreasonable conclusion to draw from this series of events?

That's not what you said. This conversation is boring.
That is the context of what I said, and that which I expected it to be interpreted in.
Okay.
