"Self sacrifice" vs "feelings hurt by words" is a massive abyss of sympathy

Saying something and doing something IS completely different. All murderers are mentally ill if you didn't know.
No, I don't "get you"
And few murderers are mentally ill. Don't try some bullshit like "well you have to be crazy to be okay with killing someone hurrr", that's just rhetoric.
You do HAVE to be crazy, it's not killing in self defence which is justified on the situation, its killing because someone made you angry which makes that person a mentally ill retard.
If i kept calling you a baby dick white boi who can't get laid because you're a loser nerd and you stabbed me, that makes you definitely a low IQ mentally invalid retard, ya feel me

Mental illness is an arbitrary classification based on how neurodivergent you are on a sliding spectrum of factors.
NIGGERS AND DEMOCRATS
Because him being racist was the least of his problems. The racism and off-color comments from Merle were symptoms of an even bigger flaw; namely his loose morals stemming from an abusive parent.
