re: #75 Nerdy Fish

It amazes me that so many people have convinced themselves that it is not only good and proper, but also holy and righteous, to be complete and utter assholes to people they don’t like and to wish them dead.

It’s because they’re affirming the consequent: they want things and therefore those things are good, proper, holy, and righteous.

If you follow this type of asshole through the ages, you can actually see the process of re-assembling the ideology to address new appetites, over and over.
