Why do humans do things like genocide, mass ethnic cleansing etc?
in part agree @lxion may lesser baser animal extinct survival gone awry. agree @george ,fear can bring ugliest of human actions. think in cases sociopathic personality gains power , acts out (his/her his) insanity. unfortunately people sheople , fall in line ever seems popular. many sociopaths quite charismatic , capable of influencing sane people insane things(jim jones,hitler,stalin) dehumanizing people makes easier eradicate them. why racism dangerous , such evil. african american , trans atlantic slave trade horrible evil episode in human history must admit jewish holocaust turns stomach more. reason why solely based on racism. whole people able turn on people , things such make lamp shades out of skin. wish kill off whole group of people because have been taught upon them inferiors. know more deeper , anti- semitism old in europe nazi extermination program scares , sickens me nothing else. slave trade based on economics, money = power. racism used keep in place , goal not complete extermination of people. in end result genocide may acquire committers land , wealth of victims core instigators may have reason. else fall line frenzy acting on primal emotions. similar when pack of chimps turn on 1 group member. question ask not why how?
