Reply #20: Keep them

[undergroundpanther]

Under watch and restrain them,Treat them like unruly children and do not let them get away with ANYTHING that expresses any form of the game the social domination they crave to do.And if you don't want to spend all day correcting and chastising punishing and babysitting authoritarians..what is the alternative? Disobedience..To authoritarians,protecting each other from authoritarians,not being a perpetrator an enabler or a bystander!!

Human beings are not natural killers; very, very few ever learn to enjoy murder or torture. Human beings, however, are sufficiently docile that many can eventually be taught to kill, to support killing, or to consent to killing on the command of an alpha male, entirely dissociating themselves from responsibility for the act. Our original sin is not murderousness — it is obedience.

And this brings us to the final reason for the prevalence of the myth of man the killer; that it encourages obedience and legitimizes social control of the individual. The man who fears Hobbes's "warre", who sees every one of his neighbors as a potential murderer, will surrender nearly anything to be protected from them. He will call for a strong hand from above; he will become a willing instrument in the oppression of his fellows. He may even allow himself to be turned into a killer in fact. Society will be atomized into millions of fearful fragments, each reacting to the fear of fantasied individual violence by sponsoring the political conditions for real collective violence on a large scale.

Even when the fear of violence is less acute, the myth of man the killer well serves power elites of all kinds.
