I’ve said it before but the most DANGEROUS people are those who think they’re unable to do harm. Because since they see themselves as purely righteous, they will always justify the harm they do onto others as deserved.
Hell, they’re not even ABLE to see their behavior as harmful.
@lvectrl I get your point, but rape and violence in general more has to do with actual mental issues or trauma, and isn’t the same process as just “unlearning” social conditioning. However, I do think everyone is capable of change. Not everyone is due forgiveness though.
@EcoTechBro@TheFool0S It’s funny bc you recommending I read Bookchin like 3 years ago is the only thing that stopped me from going down this route bc it made me research environmentalism and veganism more as philosophies.
@Olaud0h Ppl are able to deconstruct their original bigoted beliefs that they were conditioned with as a child. It’s like how ppl end up leaving religion after questioning faith.
People can reconstruct their values and learn how to be kinder people.
