We could go into the psychology of the beasts as well as that of the sheep and it's probably a good idea if we do so at some point for future generations to learn about it. Unfortunately, there's a long history of cruelty that needs to be truly understood. It's not good enough to say "Those were norms of the times". Look at the Romans (the "power-elites" living in Italy) feeding Greeks to the lions. An entire Colosseum filled with your average Italian citizen just cheering on a horrific spectacle of inhumane brutality. Yes, the beast elites have always been this way, the examples you gave case in point, but what of the average guy or gal? How do you get a simple sheep to go along with such wanton cruelty? I'm sure the beast elites lied back then as they do now just as I'm sure there were Roman citizens who refused to participate in this. We're living our own shining example of a psyop on sheep. Willful ignorance needs to be eradicated.

Even here on this site I read people wanting the elites tortured to death and, while I certainly understand where the sentiment is coming from, have even thought it myself at times, I can't truly get behind that. Yes, there's a vast difference between wanting a cruel person commiting crimes against humanity to be taken out, even be made an example of to deter others, versus cruel beasts torturing and killing innocents. Abusing the vulnerable like children and others is an entirely different level of evil. I just want these evil beasts eradicated - by law and swiftly - and I don't need nor do I want a pay-per-view subscription to watch their executions. It diminishes oneself to take pleasure in someone's torture, IMHO. These beasts have an eternity to face - as we all do, good or bad - and it may be the first time many of them have ever had to face the consequences of their choices, words and actions. We were all given free will - God created all of us - even the beasts. They're "wired" differently, to be sure.

Four percent of the population? You may be right. In the past I might've disagreed, thinking that this was too high, but then I wouldn't have believed it if someone had told me ten years ago that my loved ones would refuse to listen to pleas that they not take an experimental drug, would refuse to read studies I'd send and would, out of fear, reject reality and continue to get potentially dangerous shots and boosters. (Anyway, SemperSupra, I've got to get some sleep. Thanks, as always, for your insights and great posts. The battle continues in the morning...)
