James Corden or Argo´s nemesis.

I would argue that piles of shit like him or Peter Scully are on a different level of harm magnitude than pretty much any capitalist politician or billionaire, to be honest. As horrific as their crimes are, they ultimately affect a much smaller group of people.daft twat wrote:Yup.

Get it together, RM!

I hear they're datingDev wrote:Argo or Lena Dunham
This is really the philosophical conundrum this thread poses. Dictators and sweatshop overseers hurt many more people than a rapist, but to commit a rape is so much more visceral and personal. It’s one thing to know your actions are hurting someone or even many people; it’s quite another to look your victim in the eyes and inflict the torture. That’s an evil I cannot comprehend.LoathedVermin72 wrote:I would argue that piles of shit like him or Peter Scully are on a different level of harm magnitude than pretty much any capitalist politician or billionaire, to be honest.

People in seats of inscrutable power who hurt and exploit others are often able to, through ideology or abstraction, frame themselves as morally righteous or as working towards some greater good. There's a kind of psychological distance that allows for plausible deniability even to themselves. But someone like Watkins can't claim that. There's no framework, no illusion, that makes what he did anything other than pure, conscious malice. That kind of evil is direct and undeniable, which makes it especially horrifying.daft twat wrote:This is really the philosophical conundrum this thread poses.

See, for me, it's the other way around. Intimate, one-on-one cruelty is pretty easy for me to understand. That stuff doesn't shock me. That, I expect. What I have always had trouble understanding is the mentality that drives the ruling class to be so profoundly evil. The "fuck everyone else as long as I get mine" mentality. I've always had difficulty understanding that kind of thinking. Maybe it's because I've been exposed to the former kind of evil since I was young but I only really became conscious of the scale of the latter much more recently, so I've had less time to think about and process it.Jorge wrote:People in seats of inscrutable power who hurt and exploit others are often able to, through ideology or abstraction, frame themselves as morally righteous or as working towards some greater good.

If we're judging by scale of harm, people in power (dictators, exploitative billionaires, architects of war or systemic oppression) will always top the list. But if we're talking intent and personal depravity, Watkins and his ilk represent a kind of evil that's more intimate and psychologically shocking because he has nothing to hide behind, he has no way to lie to himself or anyone else.
