there is no human nature.
there are rationalities, rules of social comportment, that create types of response to types of situations.
if a result of the internalization of a social arrangement, of the rules that enable people to operate within that arrangement, is that actors become adept at murder, at imagining murder, at imagining that others are adept at murder.
then the problem is the social situation.
individuals are adept at normalizing almost any social arrangement
they have to do so in order to function.
what they do not like about the results
they call human nature.
it is a way of dodging individual and political responsibility.
