One snippet of my radicalization came from a partner of mine who worked at Peet's Coffee years ago. He told me that every night when the pastries were thrown away, the manager instructed the workers to pour bleach all over them so houseless folks couldn't eat them. At the time I couldn't believe it
how can a person be so monstruous, I genuinely don't get it
I have no idea but I really do want to understand where it comes from. That should be my next neuro/psych rabbit hole
maybe people at the top of the hierarchy get so stuck with seeing the "big picture" that they don't even deem those outside of it as human beings?
also just in case, it has nothing to do with this but, do you speak spanish? your pfp reminds me of the "niño rata" meme that spread all over in like 2014 ;w;
Yeah, dehumanization and lack of empathy are huge. I just can't get my head around how someone can look at another human and say, "Fuck you I'd rather you eat bleach and die than eat this old scone that I'm throwing in the trash". That level of contempt for another human just feels like pure evil to me and I fail to understand at all how someone can be driven to go to lengths like that.
Also: I'm not very good at speaking Spanish but I can understand decently. I've tried learning a few times but never have anyone to speak with
I looked up the meme though and it's definitely the same one. Rat boy came from this scene of The Simpsons
i can speak with you if you want :D
Awh that's super nice of you! I'm v shy but mayyyybe I'll take you up on that
Are you a native Spanish speaker?
mhm! <3
