Well we have completely opposing views in that case. I think if you cannot compare atrocities or crimes you are suffering from sociopathic/psychopathic tendencies (i.e. morally bankrupt) but I say that as an armchair psychologist, much like you say what you say as an armchair moralist.
I think given any number of examples you would gladly compare crimes and atrocities and quite easily state which you think is worse.
Society does this also, you can usually find it expressed in the sentencing for crimes.
- kjs3 11y agoI think if you cannot compare atrocities or crimes you are suffering from sociopathic/psychopathic tendencies So because I don't tier atrocities into more or less horrifying based on numbers and treat them all as a negative means I have "sociopathic/psychopathic tendencies"? Doesn't take much to understand you don't know what those words mean, including moralist and psychologist.
- throwawayaway 11y agoWe both treat them as negative, however that you are unable to appreciate differences in extent raises serious questions for you, yes. Society seems to be able to distinguish between different crimes and atrocities, yet you seem unwilling in this case. Suggesting that those who can make such comparisons are morally bankrupt is quite a stretch, don't you think?
