  “Wearing a seatbelt is the same as walking around with a device that can near instantly kill people.” Is something said by someone living in a dystopia.

    It was a preparedness analogy which seems to have gone over your head.

    Is something said by someone living in a dystopia.

    You’ve had a variation on this in just about every response. It’s getting very old. We get it, US bad.

      Was my statement wrong in any way?

      If it’s getting old stop trying to argue against it by saying the dystopian attitude is necessary.

        Thinking that it is better to cause harm o an attacker rather than permitting the attacker to harm oneself is not a dystopian attitude.

        A place in which it is possible that someone might try to hurt you isn’t a dystopia. It’s a natural part of reality.

        A place in which no aggression exists is, however, a utopia.

        Do you know how analogies work? Of course the two things I compared are different.

        It’s like if I said “a fish swimming is like a bird flying” and you coming along and saying “omg swimming and flying are the same now???/”

        I even spelled it out - it’s about preparedness.
