You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Parenting involves all three, but I leaned heavily on "How's that working out for you?"

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Mine,too.

The old black and white "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" is another. I still watch them in black and white on the "secret" tv channels that the biggies own,but don't  promote. They fill them with REALLY old tv shows they don't have to pay royalties on (my best guess) so they can justify keeping them to the FCC.

They also show bile like "Petticoat Junction". Anything to keep the broadcast license live in case they need to expand.
