Recently a few people have asked me about death threats or just threats generally.

I think I have some good insight into this, I might even save you some trouble (this is for men).

The key to dealing with threats and persevering in spite of them is to:

a) understand the nature of people who make threats, and

b) be a death appreciator.

Weak people make threats.

Anyone threatening you is usually projecting their own frail state of mind onto you, presuming you’re weak enough to care or react.

People are moved by two levers: fear and self-interest. This is rarely conducive to actually following through on a threat.

But due to ‘diversity’ and considering that everyone is on drugs, at least once in your lifetime someone will steal your stuff and try to stab you in the process. They might even try to kill you or someone you care about for <motive unknown>.

When that happens, if you can’t get away then fight them. Do not just stand there getting holes put in you. Don’t cower or plead. Just fight, even if you die. Your adrenal glands will protect you from pain.

It’s wise to be grateful for the opportunity to do this because the alternative is to die from disease, as an old man in a hospital bed on fentanyl and covered in your own shit.

In summary:

Threats are gay. They’re almost never worth an atom of your energy.

And on that rare occasion where a threat does manifest into real world stuff, embrace the opportunity and go hard. Your opponent will probably balk anyway.

I’m not just writing this to be edgy or to impress anybody. This is (in my opinion) just the most objective and pragmatic way for men to deal with threats.
