But it is interesting research
Leftists…their TDS has destroyed their brains!
No mention of the hundreds of millions slain by muslims since 620AD.
Considering that the author says things that I know are not true about things I know about, I will assume that he is also saying things that are not true about things I do not know about.
I usually check the writer. I thought, “Jimmy Kimmel. Now what’s he up to?”
I doubt the young gang bangers are out for revenge. Out for sport is closer to the truth.
If revenge is so bad why do animals exact revenge when wronged?
I was playfully teasing a friend’s cat so he went over and peed in my motorcycle leathers.
I never teased him again.
That's why the spread of "victimization" culture all over is so dangerous. You see it with blacks in the US and you even see it with some conservatives who fall into a narrative of victimization. It's one reason the Germans and the Russians have this odd mutual recognition: both are prone to the same sado-masochistic politics, as one poli-sci professor I read put it.
It's interesting that I don't see it often in the ancient world, with the possible exception of Mithradates encouraging the Ionian Greeks to massacre the Roman expatriate population.
Mao - 40 to 80 million.
Stalin - 20 to 60 million.
Hitler - 12.2 million (6 million Jews, 6.2 non-Jews)
Pol Pot - 1.5 to 3 million.
So just based on big names, Communists lead Fascists by a lot. 61.5 to 123 million, compared to 12.2 million. Or a ratio of either 5/1 or 10/1.
Not sure if other searches at other times would produce different results.
“The brain doesn’t like pain and tries to rebalance itself with pleasure.”
I’m waiting...how long does the brain take?
Drugstore paperback psychology by amateurs. The real psychological explanation is that “revenge” is a characterization of the response of the aggressive drive to a perceived threat, motivated by the objective of adaptation and survival. Elementary.
I don’t buy it. Anything that gets your juices going is bound to show up on scans. An aggressive act of revenge is bound to get you agitated, emotional and excited, but once you’ve done it are you going to endlessly look for more opportunities to attack people you think have wronged you? Or is it more of a one-time thing? And revenge served cold? Does that even show up on the scans?
There’s not a lot of money in revenge.
