I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.

Torka posted:

it's not really a mystery, wishing death on people is common but humans who have the will to actually carry out a planned murder (as opposed to a heat-of-the-moment rage killing) are quite rare

Disagree. It's buried in all of us, some more deeply than others. I'm not saying that humanity is ignoble or anything that's a value judgement and thus worthless in this context. But the will to enact violence is not only within our mentalities but in our very physical and genetic makeup. It doesn't take much to turn one of those soldiers that won't fire at another human being on their own, or even someone far more passive, into a screeching savage. Mob mentality proves that point well enough that I don't feel the need to explain further than that.

ProfessorMurder posted:

I agree with you, not defending the murdering cops. But saying "people should and do know better" is kinda wrong because if people knew better this kind of dumb poo poo wouldn't happen. Humans are stupid and that's why this stupid bullshit happens.

I agree with you too, that post was mostly facetious. I thought the funny faces at newborns bit gave it away.

So is getting up and planning on killing someone the same as meticulously plotting a person's death? Manslaughter or homicide? Tough call. I'm not ProfessorManslaughter, so I can't say.

I had to teach a friend of mine, a Marine, Afghanistan and Iraq veteran how to open a bottle of wine a few months ago. There was major concern that the bottle of chardonnay was going to erupt when they pulled the cork out.

A dumb Marine well I never.

Did he ask for a straw after looking at the wineglass for a bit?

my theory explains the reality you were remarking on (retaliatory cop killings are extremely unusual even when cops are publicly getting away with murder themselves), yours doesn't

There are important externalities you're not considering. That aversion you're talking about doesn't take into account things like nationalism, authoritarianism, fear of criminal and social consequences, and popular sentiment concerning the righteousness of violence and how those things all interact with that core psychology.

That aversion also hasn't stopped people from murdering the gently caress out of each other in every imaginable way and for every imaginable reason since before the dawn of history. And it doesn't stop people from going absolutely apeshit the second their modern comforts are removed. The power hadn't been out cuz of katrina for more than 48 hours before a bunch of people were already ganging up to display their biases with bullets. Vicious criminal cartels. Continued internecine violence in many areas of the world. The inability for opposite political perspectives to peacefully coexist. These are not the acts of a few deranged individuals somehow shepherding the rest. They are expressions of a long and violent struggle for survival that has only recently begun to have the violence swept under the rug and made less materially relevant to most people.
