whites got ptsd from all the industrialised violence you describe  conquistadors were white and extremely violent but they belonged to a tiny warrior elite. maybe 1 or 2. they tortured people worse than cartels the second they saw the natives did it so they could compete on the front of terror. if the other natives were more afraid of the aztecs than they were of the conquistadors they would lose influence. so they went around burning people alive and torturing too either psychopaths or just very very desensitised due to having seen a lot and seeing the rationality behind the violence.  the second example of what i am talking about is well shown in apocalypse now, the bald general and his speech he saw the viet gong comm it horrible atrocities on vietnamese, and it convinced him that to win a war you had to "make a friend out of horror", that you needed to shed your humanity to only act rationally which can include terror campaigns, but he does it while repressing his nature as compationate i dont know what category conquistadors fall in, psycho or that, i fall in the second, i could kill or probably even torture someone in cold blood but thats completely against my nature, i trained myself to be able to do such things so i wouldnt have the weakness of not being able to do them  its a lot easier for psychos who were born without empathy
