There is an interesting discussion going on about the idea of banning such violently horrible videos.
I only watched the parts of the video where no shooting was going on and I'm not planning to watch any of the cruel stuff. What I saw was already way to sick anyway. I first planned not to watch any of it since I'm repulsed by it. It kind of seems to me that with such videos something is being slowly done to peoples heads/souls who don't have a firm grasp on reality, truth and most importantly Ponerology.
Something has been long in the making that I can only describe as numbing down of conscience and the lowering of the limit of tolerance toward violent/psychopathic content, thanks mainly to Media in the form of Television, Movies, News and lately the Internet and all its dark places one can be suspected to. The whole thing reminds me of the recent discussion here about Facebook and the internet per se and what it does to people who don't pay strict attention.
What kind of an effect do videos like this have on normal everyday people nowadays and especially on young generations? Has something changed in that regard? How do people react and what would be the normal human response toward such graphically violent content? How do they cope with such material?
I had a interesting discussion today with a young fellow who is in his late teens. Young people seem to share the video as though it is something not at all out of the ordinary. Kind of a everyday thing. When I asked him something like "Why do you watch and share it with your friends in such a casual manner?" he said "I don't know". When I asked "what if the people the guy was shooting were people you know, like family members, brother or mother or something like that, would you still watch it?". He said something like "Well, I don't know, I just can't imagine anything like that". What became clear to me during that discussion was that he was sort of fascinated with what happened in a Naive way. In the way people are fascinated with dark characters in movies. He showed me pictures and videos from their Internet discussion app with his friends from the shooting and from the weapons in a sort of "fascinated by evil" kind of way and made remarks about shooter games and how much the video looked like one and I sort of got the impression that there is also a bit of admiration there and thinking "it is a cool thing" to watch and share such stuff. I think the Migrant crises and "the evil Muslims" play into it as well.
Sounds strange doesn't it? Well, I think for many people, especially in younger generations, it just isn't anything repulsive anymore and just another step towards embracing evil. I can only imagine how even younger generations now handle this situation who lets say are in their early tens or younger. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
