Really dark stuff here, reader beware. A good reminder to keep an eye on what your kids are doing and who they're talking to online.

Almost all humans are sadists in my experience. I was too bored to read it. If we really wanted to do something about it, we could, but clearly humanity does not give a shit. If it's going to cost money, we are not going to do it. There, I figured out national politics. International politics is just about grabbing power in the long run. Thanks for attending my Ted talk.

In Belgian prisons they apparently literally make the prisoners eat shit (sure a group of prisoners did this to another, but does that even matter at this point?), because they supposedly don't have enough money. No, such things happen, because they do not give a shit.

So basically, another instance of disordered people exacerbating their disorder because the internet exists. All the internet does in these cases is provide avenues for disordered people to act on their disorder. There have always been sadists, they are multiplied exponentially due to the internet making it possible to go to much shorter lengths to commit acts. Whereas, without it, some of these people may have never acted on their disordered thoughts because it would require getting off your ass and actually physically hurting someone.
