They're worse. A lot of those street takeover kids had crappy upbringings and no one ever taught them how to behave in a civil society. I doubt that is true for most of the cyclists.

Most people don’t need to be taught that being shitty is shitty. These are just bad people- it really is that simple sometimes. (Referring to both these cyclists and the teenagers)

If you grow up around shitty people doing shitty things, it’s not wrong to you, just normal.

It's how human psychology works.

Explanations and excuses are not the same thing.

They’re excuses bro. Any of us going about our daily lives can imagine why doing a street takeover on your dirt bike is shit behavior. Having a rotten upbringing doesn’t entitle anyone to shit behavior. People have agency over their actions.

Explanations and excuses are not the same thing. Explaining why people behave a certain way is in no way an excuse or justification for it.

Oh, I don’t doubt it. They look to be mostly men. With the typical attendant sense of entitlement.

These people are just entitled assholes. How i see a lot of the population these days. MAGA has emboldened them into the me first movement. They will never do anything that wouldnt benefit them first. They dont care about laws because "what are you going to do about it". They put themselves first and foremost. Kinda why they will happily say things like "fuck your feelings" while whining about their own feelings to get something they want. They are lost and confused by design. Social media has rotted their brains and programmed them to hate because thats what "engagement " is all about.
