Mixed bag:
I suspect some truly believe the world is unfair and they’re playing according to the “real” rules they learned. Ultimately they’re not courageous enough to maintain hope for themselves or humanity.
…And/or they get in way over their heads with what started with good intentions.
…And then there are just some straight up untreated psychopaths.
Yes. I think these are both true. The first is the slippery slope. The second I wonder about - and can never really know the answer to - are some people born without any conscience or does something allow them to compartmentalize it away someone?
Psychopathy is a whole interesting topic on its own- Not one I claim to understand fully.
My wife has studied it a lot more. They’re not necessarily bad people AFAIK but they don’t have empathy like most.
