  6. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    There is also this: when we renounce the self and become part of a compact whole, we not only renounce personal advantage but are also rid of personal responsibility. There is no telling to what extremes of cruelty and ruthlessness a man will go when he is freed from the fears, hesitations, doubts and the vague stirrings of decency that go with individual judgement. When we lose our individual independence in the corporateness of a mass movement, we find a new freedom — freedom to hate, bully, lie, torture, murder and betray without shame and remorse. Herein undoubtedly lies part of the attractiveness of a mass movement.

    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 3, ch. 14, § 77 (3.14.77) (1951)

They DON'T, & it is that #hubris that has led us to the #crisis - or rather, the #polycrises - we're in.

  30. The appeal of others' suffering

    Study by Buckels, Jones & Paulhus (2013, Univ. of British Columbia): given the chance, high-sadism participants readily killed bugs — and even took on a boring extra task just for the chance to blast an innocent opponent with noise.

    No purpose, no gain: the pleasure of harm itself was the motive.

    Researchers proposed adding "sadism" as a fourth trait to form the "Dark Tetrad."
