we're never gonna wrap out arms around brain disease.

i've tried to have this convo before- we need to understand how brains work if this is gonna stay a democracy.
but here, whenever the convo comes up it is clear that saying brain issue=no consequences for your actions.
i know this is about a man that is pure evil. some brains arent redeemable.
but knowing that for so many when you say- i have a mental illness (a term i despise.) what they hear is- i should be immune from consequences.

NO one should be immune from consequences, just removed from ANY authority EVER.

As de facto immunity from consequence for so many that too many don't want to resolve the problem.

Besides, there's money to be made here! What kind of capitalist are you anyway?

I don't have much but I know better than to think I have a chance at upward mobility, financially, in this lifetime.

I am not a good capitalist either, I hate it, I only participate in it as much as is necessary in order to survive.

The amygdala. Fear factor is what they do for a living (including one who actually did!) and those people are easily frightened and do not stop to question what it is they have been told. It would not surprise if A) the brainwash centers (hate talk radio, social media, tv and pseudo-religions) are using subliminal messaging as well and B) if caught, they will have their zombies believe it is their right to receive such messages.
