I actually cannot comprehend how people can think like this
Saw a 4chan post claiming to be about making crystals that was actually designed to mislead people into making chlorine gas and poisoning themselves - how the fuck can anyone be that broken that they'd find that funny
Oh sweet summer child, you'd be surprised, but there's shitton of people like that, they just so good at wearing masks irl that you'll believe them instead of victim, if they get convinced that they gonna be unpunished or/and benefits (shit and giggles) outweigh consequences, they'll do shit, i mean, in internet people let true unhinged self to act, if they believe they can do it irl too, then they'll do it, i mean I'm a living magnet for cluster b personalities so I've experienced those unhinged almost my whole life, no matter how strange it may sound, I've survived few killing attempts and regular abuse/torture, and these type of people acting all innocent after all they done, these type of people feel opportunity to do shit a mile away, recently I've come to conclusion, these type of people will do shit if they think/feel they can
Humans are really really good at separating themselves from their own violent actions. For example, many humans drive a car and eat meat.
That's not separation, but a different ethical concept or a lack of thought about one.
How's driving a car violent? Not exactly good for the environment but I wouldn't classify that as violent or seriously harmful to any individual (assuming you don't run anyone over)
Risking someone's life in the event you don't have perfect attention aside, no matter what happens in the car you will PM10 dust pollution that gives little kids asthma, and if it's an ICE car you will release CO2 that brings all life on earth closer to extinction. It's one of the single most massively violent acts an average human is capable of.
The unethical treatment (borderline or literal slavery) to get the metals the car runs on. Same with real diamonds and gems, meat, many other things.
Which also applies to the phones/laptops people are reading this thread on, along with pretty much all technology we consider essential nowadays
Yup. You can live off the land, or you can be complicit in the pain of others. Most of us choose the latter out of convenience.
