I believe many people carry with them a deeply buried desire to hurt people, but their morals keep them from doing it to just anyone. But they yearn for a chance to do it without moral repercussions.
Yeah that's what zombies are for. It's why they're popular.
You are probably right. And nazi zombies even more so.
You don't get to be the apex predator spread around the whole world without a love for violence ingrained deep inside the species hearts.
So, agree more or less. But also I think the desire can be nuanced, like personally I don't want to just commit random violence but I do wish some folks would get hurt or killed. I think it's like that for most of us.
I believe we are looking at it from different directions. You say people want to enact revenge on bad people, sometimes violently. I say people want to be violent and hope for someone bad to appear, so can do it without moral repercussions.
I know I couldn't do it, and I don't want to either. If I fantasise, it's about using stern words that make them rethink life choices at most. The vilest of people don't deserve to give me trauma from using violence, even without repercussions in heaven or whatever, I really don't think the human psyche is built to perform violence against humans. Maybe animals. With humans I am fully convinced it damages the assailants ability to feel safe and okay, even if the recipient deserved it
You mistake your own thoughts for those of others. It's a common bias to assume you are the norm for knowledge or emotional response.
There are plenty of people who absolutely do seek and enjoy violence on other people and there is plenty of history to back that up. As well as sports, boxing, and just general bar fights.
No, I think you misread what I said. I think all humans, including me and you, and those who enjoy violence, are not built to do so and traumatises the assailants.
