So that American lefty couple who decided to cycle through all sorts of sh1tholes
with the aim of showing that people are fundamentally good and kind got murdered by mad Allans in Tajikistan.
Sad for their families, of course, but it's difficult to sympathise with the individuals themselves. One of them wrote “You’re led to believe that the world is a big, scary place. ‘People,’ the narrative goes, ‘are not to be trusted. People are bad. People are evil.’ I don’t buy it.”
To me, going through life in the belief thinking like that is no less stupid than people who starve to death believing they can live on sunlight or who refuse medical treatment thinking God will heal them. It's a faith-based position that flies in the face of all evidence and it's not just bad luck if those who adhere to it wind up dead.
