Why do people praise violent “instant karma” over peaceful conflict resolution?

[Anonymous]

Stories about how a Karen got slapped by someone for running her mouth gets praised by others. All of the sudden many people are commenting how that teaches her a lesson, how they would also slap her, etc. Honestly, it takes no effort to lose self-control and react like an animal over words. Anyone can do that. Why is that even praised?

However, stories about peaceful conflict resolution, longer process of operant conditioning and emotional regulation tends to get overlooked and people want the easy route of using physical force even though much better results can be obtained by taking the longer route. But why is that many people like hearing stories about someone getting beaten into submssion over someone that only would get physical in a real self-defense situation but is into regulating emotions?

You remember the Roman Coloseum, the gladiators, the spectacle and all that 💩? Yeah, well humans really haven't changed in the last 2000 years. Beneath the suraface. We act evolved, but we're not.

True. It's pure animalistic instinct. It's a shame. Honestly, I feel pity when people reason like that.

Well the internet is making us lose our humanity. We're already evil by nature. This is why we need God. But people prefer the quick 2 minute soundbite about how they've got it locked (life that is). When the reality is they control next to nothing. Rome thought they had it locked. They crucified Jesus and thought they'd crushed his church. But his church grew and conquered Rome.

Love ALWAYS wins in the end. It is the only peace there is.

Sometimes it is nice to see people get their comeuppance once in a while. Especially if they are rich because the rich usually get to skate.

It gets to the point it's annoying hearing people expressing themselves like that.

I bullied a younger and smaller boy at school until one day he turned on me and beat me up. Everyone laughed and said it was karma.

Everyone tends to just like when someone who disagrees with them gets beat up.

It's sad how society praises violence so much as if it was something so wonderful when it's not. Losing self-control is so easy. Regulating emotions is what should praised; it takes a lot to control your emotions and solve things in peaceful manners vs just reacting and hitting.

I'm gonna stop you right there, because I don't consider someone slapping or punching someone else for running off their mouth to be ´´karma´´.

[Asker]

It's not. That's how the system rewrote the title of my question. It was meant to emphasize the emotional replies received on social medias when people solved things with violence. Some commenters there even called it karma and that she had it coming, how they would do the same, etc.

The GAG re-write is a royal pain in the ass.

Schadenfreude is more satisfying
