@Zigzag Idiot Thanks for sharing! I agree 💯

That confirms the conclusions I came to through observation.

I think for most people, @AerisVahnEphelia  is right. Empathy can be a survival strategy no different than exploitation, but, some people are self sacrificing @AerisVahnEphelia, so i think you're being too simplistic.

self sacrifice because those people bring meaning in their existences.

The sadist cannot stop loving sadism no matter how hard they try.

You say that with such confidence. How do you know?

And what does a sadist's confession prove?

[Majed]

@Leo Gura Sadism is much broader than just enjoying torturing others. Most people subscribe to a self made paradigm of how success work, where you earn your success by working hard and suffering, the more you suffer, the more success you deserve. That's a twisted form of sadism right there, which shape the worldview of most people.

It doesn't necessarily prove anything. But it's data that I keep in my mind and use to navigate the world.

Sounds more like masochism.

Look at the genocidal Zionists. They have malice because they think they are doing good by killing demons.

It is even worse than that Leo

They get joy of killing people who are objectively innocent, 3 year old kids because they think those 3 year olds will grow up to become demons

It is even worse than killing someone because you do not like their current views, attitudes or mindset

They are killing people in advance to ensure they will not become future threats

At least with adults you can rationalize "these people hate so me better kill them"

It is barbaric mindset from medievil times where this attitude was the norm
