I break things. Then I put them back together. Then I break them again. Just to show I mean business.

  • Let’s not forget the realities of capitalism. When money rules our societies, and when money can buy you literally anything, you will always be able to incentivize people to do anything at all.

    I think humans are inherently moral creatures, but if you put them under artificial constraints like economic scarcity, or in prison camps, or otherwise force them to survive under some level of duress, they will always do what they need to to survive.

    Combine that with powerful national rhetoric and uniformed men with guns telling you what is right and tell you what to do and we’re beyond the concept of free will underpinning the foundations of morality.

    Just see the Milgram experiment.

    The human mind is supremely easy to manipulate.

    Linux takes a long time to learn and is often quirky and strange in unexpected ways- life long Windows users already know how horrible Windows is and its quirky strange behaviors.

    We stick with what we know. Unlearning behaviors is doubly hard when replacing them with something better.













  • Playing devil’s advocate here, could it be that they ran something like a baby euthanasia outfit? like, no contraceptives back then, extreme social stigma surrounding birth out of wedlock, poverty forcing women to give up their newborns, giving them up to the nunnery, which had no resources to deal with feeding caring and raising thousands upon thousands of children, and so either A) simply took it upon themselves to take the logical step and cull some of them, or B) that a high number of babies died of natural causes (neglect, malnutrition, sudden infant death syndrome, disease, whatever) and they simply disposed of them.

    I don’t know what else could explain this, it’s not like we’re seriously talking about gangs of murderous baby killing nuns roaming the streets at night and snatching up babies by the hundreds for lust murders, right?

    As far as I’m concerned, the only crime here is the institutionalized psychopathy of a religious patriarchal system that refused to take responsibility for giving people a legal and moral avenue to raise children that were brought into life in violation of religious law.

    Makes more sense to me at least, I may be fuck way off wrong.
