We're beginning to see that attitude here. What is wrong with these people? I recently read that about 10% of our population is sociopathic. That has to be the same people who advocate (or participate in) the extermination of people whose existence doesn't provide them with anything they value. These sociopaths generally have the same lack of caring toward their own families even. There is a total disconnect from reality. It's as if the sociopaths are alive, and everyone else is just a figment of their five basic senses, existing only for the sociopath's purposes, no more alive or autonomous than any other object they are able to sense.
That is fascinating, your comment about the number of sociopaths. I was starting to question myself on being unreasonable in judging so many we know as either sociopath or borderline. So many we know appear otherwise normal but unblinking when it comes to tragedies befalling those who do not have some sort of value to them. I noted this particularly after a career spent amongst the bureaucrats of Washington, D.C., started thinking the whole world has gone to seed.
Happily, away from those pockets, those with sociopathic traits are fewer in number. I like it fine in the countryside.
