i don't want to drag down board quality which to me appears as a nebulous subjective term. used as an excuse for removing things one doesn't like. so how does this not pertain to science and math? this is a discussion of findings published in nature. is it the phrasing that is the issue? not high brow enough? or is it the finding not conforming to preconceptions that is so upsetting? please tell me what is "off-topic" about this post such that it has been scrubbed twice today? i would like to know to be a more quality contributor to this laotian basket weaving symposium.

Psychology of Mass Executioners

No.13584426 ViewReplyOriginalReport
I am interested in the psychology of the peoples who carried out genocide/massacres for Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin and likekind.

How exactly were these ordinary people convinced to commit such horrible acts? The nazis who had blisters on their trigger fingers from executing so many. The khmer smashing babies against a tree. The red army raping every woman and girl that moved. I do not consider the Stanley Milgram experiment relevant to this as it was conducted blind. Some people believe it all comes down to exposure, the perpetrator of these acts were desensitised to it because of their experiences in the time prior. I think conditioning plays a small role, if conditioning was the majority we could take any ordinary person, train them, have them shooting thousands of babies per day in a year. I don't believe empathy can be suppressed like that. Even if these people were extremely fanatical and true believers, everyone has doubts and time increases potential of doubt. How many unarmed people could you execute before you start to question what you're doing? Even as a camp guard, seeing people decay and die, walking around like zombies, or worked to death, fingers dropping off from frostbite, no longer viable labor so execute. You can't just block your empathy even slaughterhouse workers who have been processing animals for years give it up because of regret, and most people see the life of a human and an animal as very different. I am sure there is a constant fear in the perpetrators, "better them than me", this would be used to justify continuing to follow instructions. I would have thought the mental load would be so great that the physical symptoms of stress would manifest.

If some highIQ/psychology major wants to effort post a reply that would be appreciated.

Is it true that animal fat is actually good for you and that the research claiming the opposite is flawed? Or have keto adherents lied to me?

If melanin supposedly mediates violence then are albinos less prone to violent outbursts and crime, statistically speaking?

In male homosexual relationships there are tops and then there are bottoms (ignoring versatiles since they are sexual deviants)

Are bottoms women?
