I know this is a weird question, but let me give you some context. I live with my parents. I live in a place where I can't get anywhere that I want to. No public transport and I don't have a car.
I used to live downtown and took the bus. Back then I had a read on people.
It's been a while since I've interacted with the general public. I see people at receptions for doctors appointments or whatnot, but that's about it.
One thing in the past though is that I could hate the beliefs of someone, yet like them well enough as a person.
I despise feminism, but I felt that individual feminists I could be cordial with and they'd be cordial with me. That most individuals will be friendly on some level and you can connect on some level.
I really truly don't know what people are like now.
I see what they're like on the internet and the news, but that is very unreliable to what the day to day experience is like.
I assume some of you live in cities and interact daily with many different types of people. What is it like "In the real world?" to be a little tongue in cheek.
The vast majority of anyone I've met tend to be sweet and wonderful. I might catch them on a.bad day or two, but things work out quickly. Heck, I got yelled at by a security guard because we were both tired the other night. I know we will patch it up quickly when awake and sober.
That's what scares me so much about the fractionous group that destroyed Seattle. Most folks were nice, but the people controlling the narrative didn't want that. They wanted war, and pushed terrible things when we were scared. This small amount has so many controlled and twisted good friends told me they wouldn't protect me when the rioters came.
There were so many obvious plants, and things paid for. Chas had 'inspirational' black people visit at the same time, and artwork that cost thousands to make appear.
Seattle itself had great people, but some small group didn't want that, and destroyed a place I love.
