I have seen many variants of this meme, and one day, I hope one of these caring folks will have the empathic chops to realize that what makes people mad is invariably _step two_.

(Step two, for those not paying attention, is the part where you conclude consciously or subconsciously that your immense caring grants you an exemption to all the ethical rules standing between you and the full fascist fucknuggetry you just thought of.)

@cerebrate "But... but this time we'll do it right/use our power for good/only hurt bad people!"

Sure they will. And I'm the King of Britain.
