The incompatibilitist consequentialist in me says no but the cathartic revenge hedonist in me says yes.

Does the soundproofness allow you to do stealth kills? Cuz otherwise, crowbar or not, you're probably gonna get overtaken by a room full of opponents, unless this is also happening in some sort of kung fu movie.

Can I bring my own spade, instead?

Just picture the scene in Zombieland where they destroy the store for fun. But all the shelves are neonazi fuckheads. 😃

I believe many people carry with them a deeply buried desire to hurt people, but their morals keep them from doing it to just anyone. But they yearn for a chance to do it without moral repercussions.

You don't get to be the apex predator spread around the whole world without a love for violence ingrained deep inside the species hearts.

So, agree more or less. But also I think the desire can be nuanced, like personally I don't want to just commit random violence but I do wish some folks would get hurt or killed. I think it's like that for most of us.

I believe we are looking at it from different directions. You say people want to enact revenge on bad people, sometimes violently. I say people want to be violent and hope for someone bad to appear, so can do it without moral repercussions.

I know I couldn't do it, and I don't want to either. If I fantasise, it's about using stern words that make them rethink life choices at most. The vilest of people don't deserve to give me trauma from using violence, even without repercussions in heaven or whatever, I really don't think the human psyche is built to perform violence against humans. Maybe animals. With humans I am fully convinced it damages the assailants ability to feel safe and okay, even if the recipient deserved it
