Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

When people overwhelmingly feel that their justice system has consistently failed to hold people accountable, vigilante "justice" will become more common. This isn't the result of some sort of moral degeneration in the general population, it's the result of increasing corruption and civil unrest. Trust in institutions has declined and continues to decline across the globe, and both of the incidents you mentioned are related to specific issues that people feel that their justice system is either incapable of or unwilling to adjudicate (fascism and genocide).
