That’s because they want to be the helpless victim. And all the SJW’s come crawling out of the woodwork to feed into that. They don’t want _personal_ accountability. It’s always _everyone else’s_ fault. It’s the unintended consequence of today’s participation trophy society where everyone else is the problem. ---

Can’t blame them. If there was a Hulk with faction miners and next to it Dryson, I would probably gank Dryson. There are some things that are more important than profit. ---

Probably? 🤔 Let’s look at the pros of ganking the Hulk. 1. Angry miner. 2. One less Hulk 3. Possible profit. Now the pros of ganking Dryson. 1. Satisfaction. Yeah, there’s no probably there. 🤣 ---
