Unpopular Opinion: Murder is actually worse than racism. Hear me out. Look, I know I’m going to get absolutely downvoted into oblivion for this, and my karma will probably never recover, but I just have to get this off my chest. I’ve been doing a lot of deep thinking in my bedroom lately, and I’ve come to a pretty radical conclusion.

Ending someone's actual life is, biologically and metaphysically speaking, a tad bit more detrimental to that person than saying a mean stereotype to them.

Before the mods ban me, let me lay out my logic:

Permanence: If someone is racist to you, it sucks. Big time. But you still exist to post about it on TikTok and get 500k views. If someone murders you, you are literally dead. You cannot make a TikTok. You cannot even update your LinkedIn.

The Inconvenience Factor: Murder completely ruins your weekend plans. Forever. Racism just ruins your mood until you eat some comfort food or yell at strangers on Twitter.

Customer Service: You can report racism to HR. You cannot report your own murder to HR because you no longer have HR, a job, or a pulse.

I checked the legal system, and interestingly enough, the government agrees with me. The police will lock you up for life for murder, but they won't even show up if someone uses the wrong emoji in your DMs.

I know society wants us to believe that all bad things are equally bad, but if I had to choose between someone calling me a slur or someone stabbing me 37 times in a Wendy's parking lot... I'm picking the slur every single time.

Go ahead and call me crazy, but that's just my truth.
