i pay <800 for a well-kept 1BR with central air and hardwood floors in a desirable neighborhood in the city itself. if you rent from locally owned and operated people, you too can have this. dont use corporate companies or landlords that dont live nearby.

i quoted you verbatim and stated in my post i dont watch these videos. by stating i'm no more likely to have compassion or act you inherently imply less likely.

i dont have any desire to argue with anyone on reddit either.

i'm a year younger than you and our experiences are clearly very different.

i dont watch videos such as these (never watched any of the beheading videos either) nor did i ever watch any of the Phases of Death vhs series back when video tape rental was a thing.

consuming these videos both desensitises and anesthetises people to the point of acceptance. it doesnt happen all at once, but eventually one's compassion, sympathy, and potential empathy is eroded away.

i think the same people who watch these videos should ask themselves if they would buy tickets to an execution without knowing the context of why and how.
