Why? That's what the author isn't asking. What if their behaviour is rational? What if they're right? You need to consider why they are behaving this way.

If you've been told your whole life that you're inherently evil for your gender, told you're inherently evil due to your race, cannot earn enough for a dignified life supporting a family, see no path to owning your own home, have watched as your country has been flooded with millions of military-aged foreign men, have few to no serious dating prospects, and watch powerlessly as laws are passed to persecute you for complaining about any of this... Why bother?

Why should they contribute to this system? Why not raze the whole damn thing?

In an age where dopamine-optimised gaming, porn, and online communities offer them a far more rewarding and respecting life than the hostility of meatspace, why?

Are they wrong to be radical? Who radicalised them?

You have a very naive view of H1B which is completely at odds with the destructive wide-scale fraud that it is in reality.

I play soccer. There are ways to bring people down a peg if they do anything flashy, disrespectful, etc. We're not breaking legs of course, but you'll feel it the next morning if you've been a douchebag to your opponent.

In this case, you have a gun. Surely you can find a way to ruin this guy's day. He won't have much interesting footage if the other team agrees to end his shit as soon as the game starts like you would the flashy winger with fluorescent boots trying rainbow flicks.

Just [redacted]s doing [redacted]ish things.
It's shocking to me how so many people will blindly trust strangers with such sensitive data. Perhaps more shocking is that these people are then in disbelief that they would be exploited.

Maybe there's a correlation between the type of people to have these images on their phones and this level of naivety.

You had me in the first half, but that final C++ code is complete garbage. Hail C.
