I’m a mid thirties person who has given up on having a family (long story). I am choosing to instead focus on my interests in life. I like researching mass violence like the holocaust, red Terror, Moscow show trials, cultural revolution, the Rwandan genocide. I like these things because I can’t have a family myself lol. Anyone else with with interest in these topics? Maybe we can form a reading club.
I really enjoy reading about the effects of about rare, debilitating and painful terminal illnesses. Sounds like we are destined to be BFFs!
High five! I’m more interested in violence though because they are more you know exciting
You should look into the Celtic holocaust committed by Julius Caesar
Oooo i did not know about that one, more reading to do
Care to share your firearms inventory?
Just to clarify, I’m not saying that I want be involved in mass violence. I just like to research them and try to get inside the heads of the actors.
That's how it starts
Just tell us how many guns you own, dude.
Totally not a psychopath serial killer, OP.
You know there are academics who study these things for a living. I’m an amateur
My goal is to create some documentaries on these episodes of mass violence. I want to explore the personal dimensions of these events.
That is an amazing idea! Historians usually make such episodes sound so inevitable, or at least highly likely, in the context of the activities happening in the society. But it's the individuals who make the choice. I think it would be very entertaining to get the personal accountability perspective for the violence that is generally attributed to societal triggers. Will be the reverse of what Asimov called psychohistory. I'm already looking forward to your creations. I'd recommend publishing written work before heading to the documentary versions.
Autistic, OP?
Personally, I love Forensic Files and other murder mysteries.
Depends, are you hosting in Mom's basement?
Not cool. I am independent woman
@OP - did u forget strong?
