Humans are animals. We are all of the same species and thus we all manifest similar characteristics. Generally, as a group, we are easily led, easily manipulated, easily convinced to abandon what we know instinctively to be true and instead follow a self-destructive hive-mind designed to temporarily benefit the few over the many. How could someone become a terrorist? Push a human far enough and one can do anything. Rather than demonizing actions that we deem “crazy” we should be examining the circumstances that push people to such extremes. What might be a sane reaction to an insane world can instigate genocides, wars, and chaos.
lyrics
You would do the same
Pushed to your limit
Pushed to your limit
How much pressure can you take?
How can you say you wouldn’t do the same?
How much could you handle?
Pushed around, tortured, occupied
Weight on your back
How much in until you fucking crack?
Sooner than later you will fucking crack
High moral ground or false superiority?
Imperialist doctrine
How much could you handle?
You would do the same
You would do the same
