People resist fighting which is generally a good thing.

The commentary in Fight Club was spot on for this reason. “The Michigan Plot”, the FBI agent was trying like hell to coax people into plotting something, anything in a group of people who “train” with rifles in the woods. Took a while but he finally got the dumbest guy in the mix, with the help of a second undercover.

There’s resistance to actually doing to another. Luigi is an exception not a rule. And even most gun owners don’t want to against anything but targets.

But sure, keyboard warrior on it.

Social contagion. Mob think. Groups can tip it. And maybe there is another Luigi or three out there, but it’s not middle of the bell curve behavior. We can ride the coattails of our ancestry as a country as much as we like but that is a passive sentiment at best.
