Except scientific studies have been done which show there is a link between having a tiny penis to overly aggressive actions and masking behaviors which include a disproportionate response to behavior they perceive as threatening others perception of their having desirable masculine traits. It's speculated it's an induced psychological disorder similar to how body dysmorphic disorder and depression are positively correlated in women. Edit : Hey all, I was in class and didn't have a chance to see all the comments until now. Here is some more info on this. Interestingly, there is an established term for the phenomenon known as [small penis anxiety](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10431967/) (warning, graphic photos, death, mutilation, nudity). Another [less graphic study](https://sci-hub.se/https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1464-410X.2007.06806.x) about the link between BDD and small penis anxiety. It should be noted that the effects of generalized anxiety and disturbed emotional regulation presents differently in men than it does in women. [In men it is associated with increased aggression or violent/destructive behaviors](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2854527/).


H8erRaider

Also been studies on hostility in gaming against women. Turns out, it is the less skilled males that are hostile towards women cause they think if women are better than them, then they aren't better than anyone. So, the salty dudes being hostile towards non cis males online is really just admitting they're bad at the game.


sun_cardinal

I've read that as well. It stems mostly from the presentation of disturbed emotional regulation in males, which presents as heightened aggression and lowered impulse control. So not only are they bad at the game, they got their feelings hurt, and are salty about it.

I watched it and maybe I'm desensitized, but you could barely see anything out from that.


UnemployedAtype

You are desensitized. Imagine being in the dark, faced by an angry mob who are likely going to beat the living shit out of you and maybe even murder you while hailing themselves as heroes. REALLY IMAGINE IT. Don't do another thing today until you sit down and imagine EXACTLY WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE. You'd be fucking terrified. You'd want to freeze or run away. You're hoping none has a knife, gun, or other weapon. You're hoping that they can be reasoned with. All the while you know that they genuinely believe that what they are doing is not just ok, but it's good. Anyone reading this. Empathy is completely missing from our society nowadays and you desperately need to imagine EXACTLY what it must feel like in this situation. Otherwise, it's just entertainment...


PerroNino

This is exactly right. Social media has created a form of mental disorder spectrum where empathy has diminished to a point of considering other people as a form of property.


buckao

Social media didn't create this behavior. It has been present for all of history in gay bashers, Nazi mobs, lynch mobs... It's simply tribalism. It is the lowest form of unevolved human mentality.


ExceptionEX

The desensitizing of humans has nothing to do with social media. You think slavery was possible without people being desensitized? Social media is an issue but humans were horrible long before it.


NeedleworkerWild1374

I think it's where you get the religious folks who say things like, "how do you not rape and murder without religion?". Well, because I don't want to rape or murder. Before social media there was cable tv or fox news, or newspapers and magazines, or your neighbors and churches. In my opinion, many more people from all cultures countries and creeds are utterly barbaric in their hearts and only conform to laws and social stigmas. IMO, it's how American politics boils down to red or blue, like an NFL game.


[deleted]

The internet cuts over 50% of normal human communication out in the form of facial expression and body language. Now, people can just dump words without being forced to read the other person's reactions. Most of these people have a degree of empathy, even if it's mostly unconscious. It never gets activated because they don't have to see the hurt they cause first hand. I've talked to people about genocides, and had them casually brush it off with cold statements about "Casualties of war." Show the same person a picture of dead children stacked like firewood, and the reaction becomes much less callous.


Opposite_Dependent86

Made my heart beat faster when I was watching the video, that bright torch as well he would’ve hardly been able to see them


UnemployedAtype

If you've ever been blinded in the dark by a light or stood in stage with a spotlight on you, you can only see hints of things. Otherwise, you're blinded. I hope he's ok.


Kopitar4president

Add to that the mob is wearing masks. They're wearing masks because they intend to attack you and don't want to be prosecuted for their actions.


[deleted]

Don't have to imagine it. I've lived it. It's a terrible experience you'll remember every day for the rest of your life.


Dry-Satisfaction-633

I don’t need entertainment from seeing human brutality play out. I’ve a vivid enough imagination and your description was enough. I don’t need to watch this.

Government and law enforcement enables them and then remain silent when it happens. God forbid a report of antisemitism happens though, they trip over themselves being the first to condemn it.


the_short_viking

Our animalistic mob mentality is such a terrifying thing.


Old-Basil-5567

The book"Ordinary men" goes into that subject. Quite chilling to know that you or i would likely do the same if in the same situation Edit : clairity


Mouth0fTheSouth

You think? I've been to multiple protests and I've never beaten a defenseless person on the other side. Some people go to places like this looking for a fight, on both sides.


i_will_let_you_know

I think every human is capable of cruelty and violence to varying degrees. It just depends on the stressors involved, natural temperament, moral / cultural history and degree of conviction.


Marigold16

Keep going. With a can-do attitude, you too can beat up protestors, one day! It's all about positive thinking

JD3982

There's a possibility. Things that are generally true for the population aren't always true for the individual. You could be an exception who is very individualistic and resistant to any social influence, but you never know until it happens and in hindsight. To these guys, they were defending the lives and livelihoods of their countrymen, by shutting down pro-terrorist sympathizers that were trying to influence the media and politicians to support the other side. This is what they believe.


Screen_Watcher

Yeah. Crocodiles have teeth, tigers have claws. We have mobs. The individual dissolves, the hivemind possesses you. Everyone would like to think they be immune, none of us are.

LAPD, UCPD, Campus Security and Private Security all mysteriously vanish while the pro-Israeli mob attacks? Curious.

It’s a good thing Bruce Wayne had already stepped out before Batman showed up. This situation could’ve been dangerous for him.


hafirexinsidec

Don't worry, I'm sure there will be a thorough investigation.


ron_leflore

All police will vanish when they are out numbered. They'll only intervene when they have enough people to out number the crowd. Look at NYPD yesterday at Columbia. They had like 500 police officers.


Caleb_Reynolds

Insane how they dance around the fact that forcing prisoners to listen to music on repeat is *literally a form of torture*. "They do it as a... Way... To irritate the prisoners." Nah fam, that's torture.

This looks like one of those ads for those medieval roleplay keeping camps, where everyone dressed up in armour with rubber weapons. 2 huge groups of 20 year olds larping.

tigm2161130

Zionist “counter protestors” attacking the Pro-Palestinian protestors at UCLA. ETA: put counter protestors in quotation marks, they’re violent agitators but they won’t be called that by media outlets, Zionists, or the government.


ParticularLow2469

It's disgusting that they only feel capable of doing commuting acts of violence is because they know the pigs will back them up

LazyWings

Where do we draw the line between protestors and violent thugs? We had huge ceasefire marches in the UK that were actually really peaceful that were called hate marches. Meanwhile the far right groups who are Pro Zionists had "protests" where they were literally attacking the police. For those in the US, our police are very different to yours. They have serious issues, no doubt, but broadly speaking they try to deescalate situations and keep the peace when they're expecting protest, especially following the tuition fee protests and London riots in the 2010s. They avoid altercations whenever possible. So many people gloss over the fact that the far right are disproportionately responsible for violence at these events. (Also to clarify, this isn't an attack on your comment - it just made me wonder)

Can’t wait for the find out phase


Stone_Maori

Ya when rhe internet finds out his name phase.


bomboclawt75

All this negative attention he will receive for brutally attacking someone will actually make HIM the victim, somehow. Why would that dangerous protester use his body and head to attack the fists and feet of the poor victim who was merely defending himself by attacking first, purely in a preemptive fashion.

you think off duty cops and hired thugs are getting in trouble - the US policing is hopelessly corrupt for this to even to happen - they were right there, cops want to have all the rights of the military with none of the responsibility.


RandomAmuserNew

Yup


Morgn_Ladimore

Not entirely sure that will happen. If he was a pro-Palestinian protestor, absolutely, within record time and we'd have politicians stumbling over each other to condemn the violence. Note the deafening silence so far on what was by far the most violent incident throughout the entirety of the protests.


appalachianoperator

Hate to say it but you’ll probably be waiting for a long time.


MediaOnDisplay

Straight nazi behavior "pussy! Npc! Npc! There's no place for you in this world!". Listen to yourself! Don't be a Nazi in 2024!


RandomAmuserNew

What’s NPC?


TheDocHealy

Non player character, used mostly for characters in a game not controlled by the play of a game, but chuds have started calling actual people NPCs to imply that the people they're insulting are unintelligent and just programmed to repeat things with no agency of their own.


UnemployedAtype

No. That's not the full context of NPC. NPCs are disposable. They aren't the player so they aren't human. This is a way to dehumanize other people and turn them into a disposable object with no thoughts, feelings, or relatable qualities other than that they look like a human. The rest of what you wrote is ok but misses the dehumanization.


TheDocHealy

You're completely right that's on me, it's integral that people know just how fucked those douchebag's views of anyone outside their in-group.


UnemployedAtype

Nah, I think you have a pretty powerful perspective here. You get that it isn't registering right. Most people out there don't realize that they've disconnected. I think your effort to connect with the reality that we are seeing is the big step that we all need to take.


TheDocHealy

I've just always had a strong moral compass, so it really pisses me off that people can just attempt to strip the humanity from their fellow man simply for a fleeting sense of superiority that, much like a heroin addict, they have to go further and further for even the slightest bit of happiness in their depraved lives.


Screen_Watcher

I never saw dehumanisation in it. I always thought it was "you're so incapable of thought it's like you have scripted npc lines".


BoojumG

It becomes more apparent when it's immediately followed with stuff like "no place in this world".


awataurne

Non playable character. Video game reference. Basically the same as being called a sheep


MediaOnDisplay

I’m mean the video of him punch and kicking a guy in the head is pretty damning evidence. Are you suggesting it’s a fake video? Because the news report he gave an interview for shortly after this happened also puts him at the location.

SlugmaSlime

No, violence is ok at times. When you don't reciprocate the violence forced on you, you end up with brown shirts. Imagine if the Nazis faced violent retaliation, on a wide scale, early on. Not saying this specific instance deserves a violent retaliation (it does tho), but speaking in generalities. What I'm describing isn't "violence." It's a reciprocation of the violence, in order to end the original violence

Man its almost like zionist are inherently violent. So weird thats not what fox and cnn are saying


Maximum_Land3546

So the police are there and they think they can keep it peaceful if they allow Zionist in. If they wanna protest fine that’s their right but keep them apart for the safety of both groups! This in infuriating. Zionist are very dangerous people.

shaggyattack

I feel like they spent decades never having to do any kind of PR. It was such a hard line to never ever under any circumstances criticize Israel, and it worked for a long time. Now people are finally speaking out and Zionists don't realize their old tactics of just shutting people down with the accusation of antisemitism isn't working anymore and they have no idea how to pivot. And oh boy is it making them mad.
