‘Small scope take’, ‘batshit crazy’, ‘if you know’; not a great start to our convo lol. I know plenty about history. The issue with your take is that it would be wrong to compare anything we do today to history because there were absurd atrocities that occurred for which we have no real frame of reference to comprehend.

We’re living in very unique times. I can’t compare my actions to that of a Roman soldier, a persecuted Jew in nazi Germany or a 19th century English blacksmith. I can only compare to what I’ve personally experienced the few years I’ve been on this earth. And in that time I’ve been here, I’ve seen people get massively desensitised to a number of things they would have previously have found abhorrent.

I’m not stating what I say as fact, it’s just an opinion from what I’ve seen when interacting with others in real life and online. It’s ok if we think oppositely on this.

With regards to sensitivity about death. Being sensitive to constant morbid images and videos is very different to being sensitive about the concept of death. I’ve had two near death experiences where I probably should’ve died so I don’t harbour the same fear others do about death and therefore am not sensitive about it as a concept, I’ve made my peace with it. That’s not the same as being sensitive to gory, serial killer murder scenes that flood our tv screens now.

They’re two different concepts but once again it’s easy for anyone to say they have no sensitivity towards death if they’ve never stared it in the face. Not saying you have or haven’t, just saying most people haven’t so they wouldn’t be able to really gauge how they would act beyond assumption.
