Suppression, 9
Furthermore, there is a reason why I say "and/or", why I equate intention and effects, and it is that while on one hand a crime is a crime regardless of its being a collateral damage or the ultimate aim, on the other hand knowing and thus being able to tell the difference between a crook and a suppressive helps one and all to understand and thus predict what to expect, and why, more accurately.
In fact, it would be consequential here to ask: why? Why is one suppressive or acts suppressively? And this question would in turn raise another question: in general terms, where there is an intention, is there always a motive? And, in particular, is there a motive behind the intention to suppress? Such questions are strictly related to other basic questions regarding what a human being is and how does he or she operates – or is operated – and these are borderline matters allowing for as much arbitrary controversial opinions as objective incontrovertible facts are scarce. As we’re here to get somewhere, we’ll digress into this only as much as it’s of any practical use: to the degree a hypothesis provides a logic in observing and thus predicting.
Let’s then suppose individuals act logically, consequentially, not randomly. This means that given an effect, there is a cause, and there is a consistent link between them, instead of sheer randomness. Supposing there are reasons, only then it makes sense to wonder what these reasons are.
On this basis, the hypothesis here is that a suppressive does not see the same reality that we see, but lives instead in a quite altered one. And – alas very unfortunately – it is a reality where the suppressive is constantly under threat or attack: every second, everywhere, every other individual is an enemy, all−out after butchering the suppressive, no exceptions, ever. While we see a mild world where people is after making a living and getting along, the suppressive sees a hell where anyone is about to butcher him or her. Sure, it’s mad. Stark−raving mad. And false, quite off track. But we do know neither insanity nor falseness prevent from actually acting on those wrong premises.
