Unpopular opinion?
Maybe rapists are victims too. Maybe rape is a byproduct of a culture of hedonism. Let's take one step back from the problem at hand....
Let's hop everyone up on legal drugs like caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes, sugar, hardcore porn, video games, and social media to destroy any shred of serotonin and neurological restraint one may have, leaving them to the whims of their lizard brain. Now mix in single motherhood and add an overwhelming dose of stress from a corporate, materialist society constantly telling you're not good enough, handsome enough, rich enough...etc.
I think everything has a cause and effect. We can punish rapists and feel good about ourselves, but that seems like an underwhelming solution when looking at the big picture.
The problem with blaming contributing factors as causation of criminal behavior is a convenient scapegoat. The problem seems to be so simple when you can blame these evil deeds on other causes that are easy to identify and quantify to some degree. The problem comes when you realize that there are millions and millions that are in the same situation and they overcome their situation and do not repeat the actions of the few that are committing these acts. This same defense has been tried many times with more or less success. The statement, "I couldn't help myself" or "I had no choice" is ridiculous and pure justification for making a terrible choice. We have all had temptations and even overwhelming urges to do the wrong things, but we simply resist and walk away.
Well put...
Well if you can find the "Free Will" neuron in the brain, your point is valid. I'm just talking pure physics here.
Found that new SCOTUS judge's account
you're making excuses.... or guilty.....
Or both.
This is called Meliorism and it is the philosophical root of all things liberalism.
Forever moving "forward" towards these goals is called "Progressivism."
Forever advocating for the evils and against anyone who would punish or dare to judge them is called "Liberalism."
Eradicating anyone who disagrees with the way things are headed is called "Communism."
caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes, hardcore porn, sugar aren't evil? The Government that subsidizes sugar and puts it in everything?
You clearly don't understand neuroscience. Otherwise, you would understand the root of evil behavior. Or maybe you believe we aren't animals like mice in a laboratory being experimented on by the powers that be to make us evil and depraved.
Why do black people commit more crime? Is it not higher stress levels from being in more poverty? Is it not their testosterone levels? Is it not the propaganda they get pushed on? If free will existed, nobody would commit crime because we would always choose to feel happy, great and content.
I indulge in excess in every single one of those contributing factors... and not once has it ever crossed my mind to ever rape anyone
Obviously everyone is predisposed to acting out in different ways when we have damaged our Prefrontal Cortex from hedonistic excesses or trauma. Some people shoplift or drink alcohol in excess or binge on food, or get easily angered or violent.
Gene's have something to do with it
Childhood trauma has something to do with it. Sexual abuse, violent parents, father beating mother, bullying....etc. This is all very common. Soldiers come home with PTSD and commit suicide at crazy levels, some beat their girlfriends/wives, some are just depressed. Stress destroys your ability to cope and act rationally.
I'm just talking about what the scientific literature has found. Look up Ted Bundy. He was into porn...then hardcore porn, then violent porn and when he burnt out his dopamine receptors, he needed something stronger to get the same "high"....so he committed the acts in real life. Basic drug abuser behavior.
I'm surprised any of this is controversial. It's basic science.
I'm not saying we can have these people in general society. We need them locked up. They are a danger, but it's also not entirely their fault. I'm suggesting our depraved society could be a top down issue much like the brainwashing of leftists, vaccines....etc. Look at the depraved messages we are sending to children through rap/hip hop, Hollywood and so on. Then we hop them up on sugar and wonder why they misbehave. So we beat them into submission. Great idea.
