    Humans are really really good at separating themselves from their own violent actions. For example, many humans drive a car and eat meat.

      How’s driving a car violent? Not exactly good for the environment but I wouldn’t classify that as violent or seriously harmful to any individual (assuming you don’t run anyone over)

        Risking someone’s life in the event you don’t have perfect attention aside, no matter what happens in the car you will PM10 dust pollution that gives little kids asthma, and if it’s an ICE car you will release CO2 that brings all life on earth closer to extinction. It’s one of the single most massively violent acts an average human is capable of.
