      On the contrary: guys like that are big on fear. That’s at the root of conservatism and toxic masculinity: fear of losing one’s life, one’s property, one’s place in the social hierarchy.

      When he saw another gun come out, he felt fear. Nothing teaches you better than that.

          it is just true, fear is one of the primal human responses, it’s what kept us from being eaten by fucking lions or some shit.
