Graphite burns rather intensely itself. Its admittedly hard to ignite... unless you have a hot metal fire in intimate contact with it.

I've never been in a cinema after a bomb.
A guy threatened to kill me with a forklift, once. I decided my best option was to reach through the cage and turn off the key. Which I did, and pulled out the key and threw it far away. Other people around me were panicking.
Being put off is not the same as panicking.

"Consider what happened when another Puerto Rican group detonated a small bomb in a Bronx cinema while a rapt crowd watched a movie called The Liberation of L.B. Jones. When police ordered everyone to leave, an NYPD spokesman complained, the audience angrily refused, demanding to see the rest of the movie."

IDK, I think corporations should not be recognised by the state at all, but I still think taxing unrealised gains is a stupid "thought bubble" and/or intended solely for the campaign trail.

Trying that tantrum on is likely instinct.
Learning it works if you escalate far enough is 100% learned. Maybe purely operant conditioning in babies, but there is also intentionality and cognition at work in toddlers' tantrums.
My boys were never indulged for tantrums, so they stopped at 2. Friends' kids I've babysat ARE indulged for tantrums so they continue. Until the second time I babysit them, then they just grumpy but respectful until mummy and daddy are back.
Tantrums are the parents/caregivers fault.
Always.
But its usually fixable up until about the age the kids start to vote.

This is very, very vulnerable to "black boxing" and abuse.
Without naming names, we already have one popular client changing a keyword the dev doesn't like into the poop emoji in every note without asking.

Conscription Resistance As Duty
Conscription has been militarily pretty useless (often actually harmful due to demoralising previously volunteer units) in all times and places, but is often politically very profitable for a struggling regime.
Conscripts are effectively "disappeared" just like regular hostages, and their families then tend to publicly support the government and refrain from public dissent out of fear of the conscript's ill-treatment / frontline transfer / non-return. Conscript deaths are officially reported tardily or not at all, to preserve the govt's hold over the families as long as possible.
US & AU during Vietnam, Iraq 1979 through 1991, Ukraine and Russia today - the same policies, for the same reasons.
In the below (recent, unverified) video, the young man in black escapes from a military recruiter with the help of bystanders: the older man in grey, and the blonde woman. The recruiter then positions himself aggressively and berates the blonde woman, who berates him right back. Even the young woman in black, who takes no part in the scuffle, is standing facing the recruiter, hands on hips.
Massive respect, wish I could zap them.
