Perspective. I guess that Reddit video mentioned above doesn’t seem so graphic after reading your comment. I try to rationalize it all by knowing that we, especially westerners, largely live in this seemingly safe facade we like to call “our lives”. But then, behind the curtain, the raw machinations of life happen to keep the facade going. The facade is nice. It tricks almost everyone into pacification and thus be less of a threat to us. On the other hand, the machinations behind the curtain keep churning along. We find it horrifying, but it’s just how things really work underneath the veneer. The facade is kept up by violence, or the threat thereof. You can’t resist following the facade’s rules (eg. laws and in many cases, human norms) without ultimately being the subject of violence, be it from the state or an angry mob. It’s best to find peace with that.
