MASS-MURDER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH "BIOLOGICAL AGGRESSION" (evolutionary psychology). IN FACT, MASS-MURDER IS METAPHYICAL. THE FUNDAMENTAL CATEGORY IS NOT "KILLING," BUT GETTING PEOPLE TO DIE--FOR A LEADER OR  SOCIETY'S SACRED IDEAL

MASS-MURDER IS A SOCIETAL MECHANISM AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE QUALITY OF THE IDEA OR WHETHER ONE LIKES THE IDEA OR NOT.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS A MASS-MURDERER--HOLDING THE UNION TOGETHER.

 THE JAPANESE IN 1905 WERE MASS-MURDERERS,

THE MILITARY LEADERS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR WERE MASS-MURDERS (KILLING FOR FRANCE, GERMANY, GREAT BRITAIN AND MANY OTHER COUNTRIES). NINE-MILLION DEAD.
 
LENIN WAS THE PIONEER WHO MURDERED IN THE NAME OF COMMUNISM, FOLLOWED BY STALIN, MAO AND POL-POT.

HARRY TRUMAN WAS A MASS-MURDERER (100 THOUSAND DEAD, NEVER LOST A MOMENT'S SLEEP-- ENDING THE SECOND WORLD WAR).

LYNDON JOHNSON WAS A MASS-MURDERER (TRYING TO DESTROY COMMUNISM IN VIETNAM).

ALL OF THIS KILLING WAS IN THE NAME OF A SACRED IDEAL THAT LEADERS AND SOCIETIES THOUGHT WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HUMAN LIVES.

EACH OF THESE LEADERS FELT THAT MURDERING HUMAN BEINGS WAS NECESSARY AND JUSTIFIED IN THE NAME OF THEIR SOCIETY'S SACRED IDEALS.

WHAT ARE THESE SACRED IDEALS THAT GENERATE MASS-MURDER? WE DON'T KNOW. WE LIVE IN THE MIDST OF A DELUSION.

I FORGOT THE RENEWAL OF MASS-MURDER BY PUTIN: RETURN OF THE ANCIENT TEMPLATE. PERHAPS THE LAST OF THE MOHEGANS?
