Once that happens society becomes indecent and terrible things happen. We should study terrible events like genocide as they show the weaknesses of our entire species permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dieterlan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I think you're right, but also I think OP was more thinking mass shooters, or maybe serial killers. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip [S] 1 point 2 years ago Fair enough.
