>>2899671>any kind of violence and coercion is way worse when accepted and normalized or state sponsored.it literally always has been by default. the state is the monopoly on violence, and an instrument for one class to suppress another.
>I can accept rape, murder, and torture as facts of life that are impossible to eradicatethey aren't though. they can be eradicated
> as long as the public is strongly opposed to it and the state cracks down on it. never has been the case at any point in human history
> What disturbs and enrages me to the point of wanting to hurt people is when people become accepting of it and even worse when the state starts practicing it. the state never "starts" practicing it because the state has always practiced it.
>A cruel criminal needs to be turned around and the community needs to be protected from him.the very category of criminal validates the state. the state often commits atrocities which are not crimes because they are declared legal by the state. Meanwhile there are actions which are the opposite of atrocities which are criminalized. Helping slaves reach freedom was a criminal act under slavery, yet not an atrocity. "criminal" is the wrong category for this analysis.
> A government oficiall that authorizes torture and degradation of a person ought to be shot on sight. so you understand now.
>The visceral reaction i get from normalized barbarity is so strong that its almost knee-jerk. I wonder if there is anyone else who thinks like this or if im a genuinely insane.no, you are sane, though I think you are getting some concepts confused in the process of expressing yourself.
