I think what @Cypher@lemmy.world was getting at was that we need to help people, especially men, to prevent them from becoming "a psychopath beyond reform". Simply put, addressing the upstream problem
So you believe that some people are just born evil?
It only shows a tendency towards being psychopathic. Still it's not like we can't get to these people early. It's quite unfair and your position would be different if you were born with these traits. It should be noted, that that study did not test genetics in isolation with environment also being a factor.
You know full well that cannot be done in any circumstance for any argument based on science, this kind of reasoning is only valid in mathematics.
As I said before I believe your study was flawed in that it did not isolate the environmental effects (parents, community, wealth, etc.). I would expect environment to be a more significant factor. There haven't really been many studies in this area. This is not a scientific debate, rather an ideological one.
The violence goes well beyond what you believe can be caused by life circumstances.
There is a lot of evidence that “normal” people can do horrific things.
Your refusal to believe that a person could do this, and not just some monster, says a lot about your life. You should be thankful for that.
Then why aren’t you more careful making assumptions about others?
Your assumption was that people who commit domestic violence are “psychopaths”.
This is not true in the overwhelming majority of cases.
If I was being hostile to you it would be far more obvious. I have been short, maybe a little condescending, but not even remotely hostile.
And neither am I???
