Villainy

... with a godwin twist that ... fails. hehe

The whole world's villainy can be accounted for by this one simple truth: those who abuse their privilege betray people they needn't have let down.

Villainy = An Abuse of Privilege.

They can't resist exploiting the advantage: of being in the majority (to a minority), of being human (to an animal), male (in patriarchy to a female), of being rich (to the poor), educated (to the uneducated), or magnetic and desired (to the ones drawn to them/who desire them). They never explore a resistance to the apriori givens, and eventually gorge on it until they disgust even their apologists.

There are 3 levels of villainous abuse:
1. The lone villain - he's ineffective from his isolation and not having gathered social approval for his work. eg. Norman Bates in Psycho, the Terminator or a lone serial killer

2. The usual suspect - he has power, he's learnt to justify his method and he's now working on polishing it up with practice. It's villians like Darth Vader or Hannibal Lecter, Hitler, Idi Amin/Musharraf where they've gained some public support for their abuse.

3. The mob rule - When there's widespread villainy or abuse of privilege, a sameness in the disregard for the object of their hate - usually a minority. eg., The Nazis exploiting a national blame into extermination policy like in Shindler's List (and innumerable Nazi movies) resembles the Iraq war propaganda against Islam; the hatred of the new media/IT/callcenter migrating to Bangalore which got community dogs exterminated; the IITian versions of saffronized nation-building spreading through orkut/blogs - it's the spread of a poison called Privilege - resist it.
