    Ok so you don’t seem to know much about psychology.

    Sure, in an extremely broad sense, all humans have the capability to act in any way.

    When certain groups of people actually do, repeatedly act in certain ways more often than others do, when its so commonplace to them that other people have to point out that they are behaving that way because they do not even realize it, now you have the beginnings of how to classify people psychologically.

    If we all have the theoretical, idealized capacity to violently assault and murder random animals with no provocation or explanation… super. Great.

    How about the people that actually do that regularly?

    You can’t do any kind if psychological screening or differentiation or descriptors whatsoever if your entire theory is ‘well technically anybody can do anything, so everyone is the same’.

    This is like 11th grade debate club sophistry you’re pushing here.

      When certain groups of people actually dorepeatedly act in certain ways more often than others do

      But they don’t, and in any case that’s not “psychology.” That’s just you being a bigoted fucking asshole.

      when its so commonplace to them that other people have to point out that they are behaving that way because they do not even realize it

      Isn’t that literally the described experience of being autistic? Having your behavior pointed out to you and you didn’t even realize you were doing it? Constantly?

      How about the people that actually do that regularly?

      Is that something you think is true about neurotypical people? That we’re constantly “assaulting and murdering”?

      How is this not you just being a giant gaping asshole? You can wrap it up in therapy terms if you want but surely you have to see how offensive this is?
