100%. Injustice causes me physical pain, especially if the injustice is then justified based on irrational arguments or I can tell that the argument is made in bad faith. Anti-Veganism would be an example that has caused me issues before.
For me it's cops, I get a damn near aneurysm every time I hear 'they're not all like that'. Have we learnt nothing?!?
Simply put, anyone who doesn't want to be like that, won't become a cop.
And even if they manage to, they can either comply and become the part, or leave.
Truth, the selection bias for cops is not great. I like the saying 'All the good cops quit'
I actually don't like the saying, mainly because it hurts.
But at the same time, most people seem to be fine with how cops usually work, so much so that bribing is considered a socially acceptable response (although noone would admit, but not admitting what one just did, is also considered a socially acceptable act).
I get locked in a rumination cycle, which makes it difficult to do things I need to do (clean, work stuff, etc)
Weed shuts it off.
