that's what makes it hard to fix stuff. Group A gets treated unfairly w.r.t how group B is treated. Clearly the welcome outcome is that group A becomes treated justly, at least as justly as group B. Yet, some members of group A wouldn't mind that at, if that option were not on the table, group B were treated at least as badly as group A. It's stupid, it's counterproductive, but hey, humans... When group A sees another instance of group B being treated (again) better than how group A would have been treated in those circumstances, I think it's not surprising how people can get a tad angry and when you're angry, your thoughts wonder a little bit more on the dark side, right? When some people from abroad kill people in your soil, it's quite understandable that people get angry and talk about bringing pain to people in the countries where these attackers come from. It's that "right"? Will that create a better world? Clearly if you just found a way for that never happening again, that would be enough right? The sense of "punishment" is so deeply ingrained in our nature; it's not a prerogative of part of the political spectrum.
