How so? To me it seems like a general acceptance of things outside of your control. The idealist in me wants to agree, but I don't see a utopia emerging out of the bushes imminently.
You think it's utopian to not expect your car windows to be smashed in - now I'm even more depressed.
There are people who are just scum; there are people who have morals but sometimes do scummy things, possibly due to circumstance; there are people whose morals differ from your own.
I would not choose a future where everyone shares my own moral values - that would be bleak.
In that context, sadly, crime will exist.
I think scum is a bit harsh, but some people lack empathy.
