The greedy make the stupid do the things the stupid do.
They could just as easily make the stupid happy.
So, sure, we should make sure the greedy are executed immediately next time.
(Would that make us evil?)
There does need to be some immediate consequence to the willing act of wanting to make others suffer, whether directly , or by manipulating the minds of others.
Evil doesn't necessarily have to be religious, BTW:
The concept of evil has been a theme of debate since the ancient Greek, where Plato argued that evil was a result of ignorance and Aristoteles saw morality as a guide for education and politics. Nietzsche claimed that evil was a dangerous concept that was created by the church, while Hannah Arendt underlined the banality of evil by highlighting “thoughtlessness” that frequently justify evil acts. From a neurobiological perspective, studies assessing individuals with neuro-psychiatric conditions associated with evil-related behavioral abnormalities have been suggesting a potential role of frontal and limbic structures, as well as of the serotonergic system. However, several of these studies assessed presumed correlates of evil, such as antisocial personality disorder or impulsive-aggressive behavior.
(Everythimg said is meant to be taken in a general.context and not specific to you - except the part about creeping your profile. I speak like that sometimes, and I don't mean to say anything about you specifically)
I may not agree with everything you say or think, (I don't know, I haven't creeped your profile), but the ability for us to disagree (as long as it doesn't harm anyone - except those who seek to destroy us) is the basis for civil society, and as of now, whatever differences you and I may or may not have regarding our current life choice or lifestyles is immaterial in the face of a literal apocalyptic threat coming from south of our border.
We all need to suck it up and put our truly petty differences aside in order to essentially save our nation, and our humanity, and humanity as a whole, for that matter.
I'm all about do whatever the fuck you want to do. As long as you don't hurt myself or others,cool. I don't give one fuck.
What I do care about is stopping a psychopath and his neonazi evangelizers destroy any hope for any future that isn't pure hell.
Can we do that?
Can we just relax our tribalism that people like trump has allowed the powers to foment this artificial hatred so many of us have let take hold of us?
Can we work as one for the common good?
I fucking hope so.
Or we all die in our smug righteousness.
