• 4chan represents an internet without rules or consequences and the users there are vile . So my quesrion is what are the worst , vile , despicable things you will do if the world was like that (think purge world) if there is no consequences or rules ?

  • I myself will kill and torture the worst people i know ( trust me if you think i am bad for sating this they are worse ).

  • (Also added question mark in title to complay with a rule ).

    Would you really kill and torture though? Just because there are “no rules” doesn’t mean there are “no consequences”.

    Anonymous message boards like 4chan where people can say anything will obviously bring the worst out (because there are no consequences), and are not at all representative of how society might function without “rules”.

    Put those people in a room together and watch them try and survive? …well, maybe 4chan isn’t a good representation for my theoretical scenario. But nonetheless, you put people in a room and one of them murders someone, you bet the others will team up to prevent that person from murdering again. A “rule” isn’t necessarily born out of it, but rather a response to the need to survive that’s rooted in us all. And because of this need, social structures begin to form from these responses (people grouping together to figure out how to prevent others from murdering).

    You don’t need an overarching power structure telling you to not murder people. Humans will respond accordingly whenever there are those who threaten that innate drive to survive and thrive.

        Your making a pretty big assumptions. There are many examples of humans in survival scenarios trapped together where they don’t tear each other and eat.

            It is possible, but its so rare its remarkable when it does happen. Humans are a cooperative species, our super power is working together. Even with people we don’t like very much (small town america is proof you can get along with people you hate).

            We have phrases like ‘and the band played on’ because humans in adversity are extremely cooperative.

            Remove a government, remove a police force, and you still have people, just getting along. Rural communities, hikers, explorers, sailors, get along together, more or less, in broad strokes without the constant watchful eye of sauron.

            It isn’t control that makes people behave, its that people just want to get on with their lives and the less drama the better.
