Even if the thought is unconscious, it's still a bad thought, but you aren't bad until you identify the thought and don't fight against it.As long as "fight against it" includes "acting on it" or "intentionally encouraging someone else to act on it", then everything should be hunky-dory.Nah lol, not fighting against it means nothing but not trying to eliminate the bad subconscious thought from your mindIf I had racist tendencies subconsciously and then one day suddenly realized that, I would be a shitty person if I didn't try to actively change itI mean, actively changing it would be doing your best to reduce or eliminate that bias. For real, not all thoughts can be eliminated outright. You can just do your best to ignore or act in the opposite of them.only spoilered to reduce the use of pity pointsI have OCD, and it is a living nightmare to have awful thoughts of people I don't know. While it sucks, it has also given me the perspective that all people deal with bad thoughts to some extent, and the good ones are the people who I can't know the bad thoughts of since they decline to act upon them.

Always related to night rituals and such because of my sleep issuesI don't really feel it today tho, I guess with really minor things like drawers or needing to correct superstitions I break even though I know it's bullshitnothing to your level though, that's pretty terrible

try to look at it from his pov thoughyou're going about your life, and you make a business decision that makes a lot of people angry—despite the fact that bigger price hikes have happened before, yet they weren't publicized at all (two wrongs don't make a right, ik ik)now all of a sudden, you're up to your ass in journalists claiming that you're the MOST HATED MAN in the country (and perhaps you are, having made a decision that you considered fairly innocuous, and arguably is)
