Yeah my issue is that it often comes packed together. I go to these serial killer documentaries and I see comments praising the serial killers intellect or something stupid. And to your point, it's the mysticism that bothers me the most, these people are not that different than that shitty narcissist you personally know and hate, its just that they took up killing as a hobby. And here is my point, killing doesn't make them special, most people are capable of killing and governments normalize it all the time. It's shocking to us, sure, but for me it's no different than the narcissist that spends time screwing over people in other ways. In my eyes it's the same basic psychological mechanism at play.
