        I think a certain set of people just don’t have the bandwidth to deal with the complexity of the modern world so just accept the simplest loudest solution. Its not neccesarily lack of empathy so much as a perception of protecting their tribe.

        That’s not fair to humanity. This is a Western problem, and America is the West on crack (fent?). People make mistakes everywhere, but in America/much of the West even the concept of objective rights and wrongs are debatable, which allows for even more amoral excesses. This is why their discourse revolves around whether things are “constitutional” or “legal”, because objective morality is not in their psyche, so saying right and wrong doesn’t come naturally to them.

            He walked towards it, and talked to the operator, lol. They only show you the other picture for spin reasons. In America you used to get casually pepper sprayed, now you get casually murdered. 😔

            The other day he assured me that I molest children because it’s just in my nature. I don’t ever recall diddling a kid, but he must be right because who am I to argue against nature.

              Do you mind posting that here? I kinda doubt I said “you diddle kids”. Are you sure this is not just confusion coming from lacking reading skills?

                Dude, you’re everywhere making low-effort bad takes about everything. I get that you like to start arguments, but I really wish you’d put more effort and skill into it. Then at least arguing with you would be interesting.

              I mean, yes, monotheists like Moses and Jesus also spoke about objective truths, rights and wrongs (“thou shalt not kill” etc etc). Of course it sounds like nonsense to you, lol, if it didn’t we wouldn’t be where we are!
