Not your problem

Neither is Anti-Semitism! Neither is Palestinian genocide! That one isn't even vaguely analogous to any of YOUR problems.
Hym "It's not your problem. But neither is anything else that isn't happening directly to you. So, whether or not a problem is yours has any relationship to how you act in the world."

The Problem

You're feinting fear you don't actually experience to justify doing this.
Hym "The problem is... You don't care either way. Your moral superiority is a delusion. You're provoking violence in the hopes that it happens to someone else so that you can be rid of me. You aren't 'good people' and I'm not 'the wrong type of person.' You're literally child sacrificers and I deserve success more than you because I'm BETTER THAN YOU. You deserve your shit life. Your life is shit. You want my life to be shit. I'm not going to allow you to drag me with you."
