Sociopath Community

It exists, but it's more about what tells you give off based on the life you've lived. 

This is why rich people and actors can get around this system. 

I believe in negative karma, evil people get away with it and live better lives as the result of their profitable / succesful evil deeds

Nah, fuck that.

Why do people like to larp about magical bullshit?

 It makes them feel better not being in control. 

 i think of karma as not some magical bullshit but as a result of how you treat people. this has nothing to do with magic. so karma is really just a meme.

 

negative karma will come back to get you because people will fuck you over just like you fucked them over

nothing to do with magic, everything to do with human nature

My perspective on it's similar, but closer to other people on average being half-decent people readers. 

If you spent your life being a thief for instance, comforts and habits fitting of a thief will surface, "The Karma of a Thief". Anyone with the eyes for those sets of traits will smell said thief's "karma" from miles away, and therefor be harder to steal from. Someone who is innocent in that area meanwhile may have less skill for stealing, but when socially analyzed they'd only give it away at most from a bad poker face. 

Karma to me is just what you telegraph based on your comfort zones with behaviors. It's why someone who tries to be "a good and respectable person" can stink of the efforts of responsibility even to people who've never seen them do any good deeds personally. 

Of course with this version of Karma, you can be shat on for being a good person too. Walk through an alley of scammers and cutthroats and they'll smell the karma of naivete, making it more about blending in and not standing out through one's comforts in the familiar. 

I believe in Karma, especially when dealing with other people.

High in a remote area of the Oetztaler Alps in northern Italy, 5,300 years ago, Oetzi the Iceman was shot in the back with an arrow. It hit a main artery and he probably bled to death within minutes. His body was preserved in the ice, making him one of the oldest and best-preserved mummies on Earth.

Oldest unsolved murder case: Oetzi was hunted down and killed for being the autistic in the tribe. His violent tourette's symptoms is what finally got him killed.

Haha I see that u mention karma but you must mean dharma, silly uninitiated plebian.

I scoff at you from my superiorly correct autistic position.

But really. Actions have overarching consequences that can snowball. I do believe in that. Is that based on some form of justice? Of course not, why would it be.

What's to stop someone from simply outrunning those consequences though, like when someone visits a foreign country to be a pickpocket?

 Nothing. However, the very actions someone has to takes to avoid the consequences, are consequences in and of themselves innit.

It's 'actions' if it's not normal for them, but once it's become a lifestyle I'd argue that it'd be more difficult for them to stop it. 

It's more of an adaptation model.
