I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

    When I was young, used to believe that social-pressure could make everybody behave/conform.

    Understanding the existence & approximate-nature of psychopathy, now, & KNOW that that’s suicidal naive-delusion.

    Hard-walls are required for many, & permanent-segregation is REQUIRED for some individuals.

    I wish serial-rapists & serial-molesters were segregated as systematically as serial-killers ( where the lives killed were “in their way” ) & serial-murderers ( where the murder is the point ).

    Their prey deserve to NOT be their prey, & social-making-believing/pressure isn’t good-enough.

    NO amount of social-pressure’s going to make people conform, if they just aren’t wired that way.

    ( the left consistently assumes that social-pressure cannot be disobeyed, & that is about to cost the US everything, as total-dictatorship’s going to be activated shortly.

    It’s currently at the point where the Democrats are utterly-powerless to impeach Trump, because the hour they table the beginning of that process, Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, & then it’s done, & probably, the Dem electorate are executed. )
