Silver lining, they were caught.

I made such a surprised face when the torture mogul decided to pose in front of a Trump flag. 😐

"I'm not a bad guy," claims man with swastika tatoo, standing in front of Confederate flag.

Why the fuck is humanity so completely deranged? :(

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have no fucking clue but it gets tiring...

I wonder if we're actually getting worse or if it's just easier for the scum to coordinate and to some degree also be more visible due to the internet.

It is starting to feel like things used to be better, like we're spiraling out of control.

There were more and more mass shootings, the alt right/extremists are spreading like a wild fire all over the globe, shit like this keeps happening.

I mean what the fuck? Where are we heading? And why? :/

if it's just easier for the scum to coordinate

It is, read through history books. Humans always been absoulte scum of the earth

My theory is that we were created by whatever most mythologies define as the devil, or altered / modified genetically by such a being into what we are today. The nice people who are altruistic are genetic throwbacks that the devil tried his hardest to breed out of the human race, but he wasn't 100% successful.

Also, the true purpose of humanity is to destroy the earth via pollution and by killing and eating all the animals rather than to save the earth / take care of the animals. Things like cognitive dissonance were installed via software reprogramming (brainwashing) to take care of the remnant "moral feelings" that couldn't quite be gotten rid of through DNA tweaking.

If you look at what the vast majority of what humankind are doing (rather than the small vocal minority of environmentalists) it honestly makes sense. Then again, I've come to see "God" as a mad scientist / absent minded professor who was all "Let's move fast and break things, it'll all probably work out post-beta" rather than an all powerful creator being. One of the many reasons I left the church.

This is by far the most fucked up thing I've read in a long time. What the fuck is wrong with people? There is no punishment too inhumane for anyone who would do this.

I heard about the baby monkey video phenomenon a few years ago, so hearing a few of these scumbags have actually been caught made my day.

There is still way too much adjacent material on youtube.

I agree what the fuck

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Well that's enough internet for today. Geeze. So glad these people are being tracked down so they can be brought to justice.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

What. The. Fuck.

Absolutely messed up. What is wrong with people?!?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What's wrong with people is that sociopaths who crave money and power to do awful things like this tend to be very good at getting them, whereas people with compassion and kindness tend to be overly generous and want to see the good in others, so tend to give away too much money and power to those sociopaths, especially if those sociopaths are good at putting up a noble front.

Plus, vast segments of the human population are basically blind sheep that don't think for themselves, and do whatever the media tells them to do. Only way to really solve this in the long term is by convincing people with morals to be more ambitious and to understand how to gain, then use money and power to influence society and the media. The dictator / oligarch types are very good at this (controlling money, power, and the media) whereas nice people who just want to help everyone are very poor at this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, a good point I guess. It generally is the same type of person who is somewhat sociopathic who also happens to find themself in a position of power and wealth etc.

Of course they're circulated on telegram and Facebook. With those flags behind him, I can just imagine his type of clientele. That's incredibly disturbing and unfortunately doesn't surprise me but I didn't expect something like this. Seems like a movie plot level of villains but here we are in reality and this disturbing stuff.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

And that’s why I hate and despise people

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

What the fuck

Reminder that the animals people eat are also living and feeling beings who don't want to die for your burger.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

While you are correct, this is taking away from the outrage about the hurt animals mentioned in this post.

Its rarely like: poor animals I've been eating all my life, I'll be vegan now.

It's more often like: good point, I shouldn't care about these animals neither.

I would still rather be killed and eaten than slowly tortured for weeks by someone making money off torture videos.

A lot of things that happen in this world don't need to happen.
