life makes infinitely more sense the moment you realize that for the majority of the people around you, only the law, authority, tradition and the lack of protest constitute a moral compass. very often there is nothing internally felt at all. sad and scary but true
to such a solid chunk of people literally nothing will register as evil if it's not illegal and their culture or holy book doesn't condemn it and their leader encourages it and the victim doesn't defend itself, there is quite literally no right and wrong to them outside of these categories and you think i'm being hyperbolic or figurative but i am dead serious and literal. these 4 categories are as far as it extends. and still sometimes having only some of the boxes checked out is enough.
