How do you cope with people that have very evil ideas?

[Never_give_up]

I am not talking about some individuals that have bad ideas, I am talking when you see too many people, maybe the majority, believing and supporting stuff that creates unimaginable suffering to a single innocent person or potentialy to millions of people if not billions.

They don't care about the suffering of the innocent people but they instead demonize them and potray  the perpetrators as heros, the pinnacle of integrity. And don't you dare support the innocent person cause they will also demonize you or if they are bored they will just ignore you. It's like they love to do bad things and get away with it , especially if they gain something important in their lives, sometimes they don't get anything they just love some violence. There can be many patterns like that, I am just describing one of the many. 

It's like witch hunting, you see an innocent person, you demonize that person, and then you make that person suffer and then end that person's life. 

 

I don't think I am like them. Am I like them and I just deny it? Are we all like them and just deny it? I don't think so. If I am wrong please tell me, maybe I am truly a bad person and don't know it. Also how do you not get triggered by these people? I get really angry and uncomfortable when I hear their opinion online and see people supporting them. In the end you begin to think, maybe I am the crazy one if I am in the minority of opposite opinions, maybe they know something more than me and they just can't ariculate it or I am missing something. Have you ever heard something you didn't like that was supported by most people or it's just me? Maybe it's just me and I am the problem.

For example, I have seen videos of cops deleting innocent people that did nothing wrong and I see the comments potray the cop like a hero and the innocent person like he did something wrong when it's not the case. I have seen people both doing it to me and others, getting beaten up in school and almost everyone support the popular person that was in the wrong. I have heard about abuse stories and majority of people support the abusers not the victims?

what's wrong with me? why I don't belong in the majority? why i see things differently? Am I just low IQ? Should I follow the majority whenever I believe something different? what's happening?

This post made me feel sad and I'm not sure why. Maybe I see a lot of confusion, a lot of innocence and trying to conform to what is expected of you or being so compassionate about the world but feeling a tad bit responsible for the outcomes, maybe feeling unsure about the parts you play in it and feeling responsibilities to making it a better place. Idk a lot of things went through my head reading it but one thing i felt for sure was the love on your part for humanity. Love can recognize love when it sees it and hate can recognize hate. This is definitely love expressing as confusion. I'm not even going to attempt to advise you on how to handle this as I see no need and it will resolve on it's own. Much love, you made me melt with this post even if it's a projection of your own evil as some might interpret it as by pointing it out in others. Doesn't matter and advice isn't needed here, your just expressing thinking you're asking for advice but you're not really.

A few things I would like to say.

If you see and believe in something, don't doubt yourself (provided you have enough self-awareness). If you spot social injustice, stand up and don't be a part of the crowd. You may not be able to fix it, maybe not right away, but you will nevertheless serve as a source of positive change (but it will have consequences).

People act the way they do because of human psychology. Groups have a mind of their own. Once a person is a part of a group, the group identity often takes over and the individual identity gets overpowered. It's not uncommon to see a person act completely differently when their social or group identity turns on. This is why mass hate and abuse happens. People with independent characters are either loners or leaders. 

I don't see there being anything wrong with you. You're sensitive and have an innate understanding of what's right and wrong. It's a gift (albeit might feel like a curse).
