I recently became obsessed with dystopian or 'collapse' fiction.
Does anyone have any suggestions for novels with settings similar to Jack Womack's Random Acts of Senseless Violence?
This is why I love you guys. Just violence, no reasons.
Couple weeks ago /u/moocowrich saw that I mentioned I'd like to get a P7 maduro off Nik as I've been aching to try one for a while. Rich was like 'forget it Nik i got him.' No trades. Bombs.
Then he was like "Hey how the hell do I ship to Canada anyway?"
This is how. Holy shit dude. . As if three P7 maduros wasn't enough, a Chillin Moose (never tried), a Carrillo (never tried), a Tattoo ("PROPERTY OF MOOCOWRICH"), a fucking Anejo 888? DAMN. Thank you Rich. .. you should probably get some meds or something though :)

It doesn't have to be in the same vein at all. Just, what books did you like as much as that?

> In response to the alarming escalation in xenophobia and bigotry resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Asian Pacific Planning and Policy Council (A3PCON), Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA), and the Asian American Studies Department of San Francisco State University launched the Stop AAPI Hate reporting center on March 19, 2020. The center tracks and responds to incidents of hate, violence, harassment, discrimination, shunning, and child bullying against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States.

I've been seeing multiple posts saying things along the lines of "I hope theres riots and police attacked, minorities keep being marginalized", and they get upvoted and comments in support of it, comments that oppose getting downvoted, until these posts eventually get purged by mods because they break sitewide policy, I guess of inciting violence. So im sure this is an unpopular opinion, especially since when I was saying this opinion, I got downvoted too.
Justifying hurting/injuring/killing innocent people or even generally causing havoc amongst the innocent because innocent people of you own were harmed by a few bad apples from the other group: this is what a lot of people are doing to justify the riots in the US right now, and its the same justification ISIS and these terrorist groups used for their acts of terrorism. That the US and other western nations had come to their lands, bombed/killed/raped/pillaged from their people, and so they have a right to do the same back to us innocent folk here. So those of you who support the riots, do you agree with this too?
This isn't the dream MLK Jr was talking about, I'll leave it at that.
