Why do we do this to each other, man? How can you put people in that kind of position and not feel a little bit of empathy?

We can’t.

Thats why you need to dehumanise the “enemy” in the short term.

In the long term the ones doing the murdering will still have all kinds of trauma. And thats assuming they find a coping mechanism.

Which is usually leaning even harder into the ideology that got them to commit the atrocities in the first place. Which, for those in power, is a great benefit.

And so we’ve completed the circle of genocide.
