Opinion: End the corruption of the human psyche
In 2022, the SPLC documented 523 hate and 702 antigovernment extremist groups,totaling 1,225 active groups. Timmer, a criminologist at the California State University, Northridge, reports studies on why people commit acts of violence. "These studies suggest that violence does indeed beget violence, as exposure to war makes other kinds of brute force more acceptable and even more likely." For example, retail clerks and hospital personnel report increasing verbal abuse and threats of violence from the public. It seems, glorifying military warriors becomes a model for accepting violence in daily living.-- Concord Monitor
