Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Thanks, this is an interesting explanation. Do you mean sadism? Or something slightly different, a need to see justice done, like "justice porn"? Or something like wanting to see some kind of order in the world through violence?

I think there is a very primitive drive in humans who want to "remove the weak link" and drive out the village idiot or "retard". An ugly reproductive strategy that helped the tribe to stay stronger which explains some impulses for bullying. This is of course unscientific speculation.

But I can imagine that impulse might have played a role to go after this autistic child.
