the principle is unfailing: when ingroup is doing something disgusting and unforgivable and is not going to stop because it stands a chance of getting them what they want, they're only doing it because outgroup is *making* them

Fitting either of those bits into 'disgusting and unforgivable' was a bit beyond me.

Chaos @chaosprimeReplying to @Warmhead2i would say that the difference between subjecting children to simulated live fire drills in a fashion that ~accidentally~ traumatizes them into the voting bloc you want and setting children on fire so a bull god will grant dominance over your enemies is of degree not kind1 reply 0 retweets 5 likes -

It's all a question of whether a shooting drill traumatises kids more than say, math class. Or P.E. Or other kids. But all I meant was that vs actual school shootings it's the background radiation to a nuclear meltdown.

That's pretty messed up, in the most normal way possible. Humans don't do probabilities. That's why there's an entire generation who freak out at the thought of a shark whenever they go swimming, etc.

it juuuuust might be better to pretend that the 0.001% chance is a 0% chance than to pretend that it's a 100% chance i mean, if what you wanted was for people to *not* be needlessly freaked out
