I don't want higher minimum wage. I want people to stop paying for things that have price increases, so that benefits of technology are given to the masses instead of the corps (in the form of lower prices, not higher profits).

Consider there are two solutions to the problem of "if AI takes over the world, there will be no jobs": the first is to just make up money and give it to people; the second is to let prices drop.

No, I don't mean that I favor deflation - I favor profits being realized in the form of lower prices instead of larger bank account balances.

I’m an idealist and think that’s pie in the sky thinking :p

Shareholders would never accept anything that hits them in the pocketbook, certainly not willingly reducing the income of a company in which they’ve invested.

They also aren’t likely to accept increasing a significant expenditure like their wage bill, so it needs to be legislated on, I think.

What made it self-defense?

The fact you’re aware of these thoughts and (presumably) the patterns they take is a really good thing. It means you can work toward pulling them out and examining them and their roots in order to figure out whether they’re useful to keep around. If you are at such a level of stress or whatever that it’s making you feel like you’re going mad, then maybe not.

You learned to have these responses from your middle school experience, and it is possible to unlearn them, too.

Are you perchance receiving therapy alongside your medication? It sounds like some CBT¹ (based mostly on my own experience with it rather than anything else) would be quite useful for you to help sort through these thoughts.

¹ of the cognitive behavioural variety. Knowing this place, there has been some willful misinterpretation of the abbreviation...

And now we know why we do not fuck with Bambi.

Because zoophilia is disgusting and banned by the law?

Don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it, man.
