DESCRIPTION:We embed a real-time enlistment notification system in the huma
 n-resources division of a major eastern-Congo armed group fighting a foreig
 n enemy\, surveying joiners and matched civilians at enlistment\, documenti
 ng five facts about the social motivations behind violence. First\, well ov
 er half of civilians report a family member harmed by the enemy in decades 
 of war\, leaving deep\, war-specific fear and anger. Second\, killing the e
 nemy is widely seen as right — 76% endorse it\, a share essentially uncha
 nged whether the killing is at scale or targets a vulnerable civilian — j
 ustified chiefly as retaliation\, and most strongly endorsed by the victimi
 zed and the war-angry. Third\, civilians are not just parochial: they withh
 old empathy from the enemy — partly by perceiving its pain as less intens
 e\, mainly by being unmoved by pain they recognize\, and most of all among 
 the victimized and the war-angry\; 58% enjoy their pain and 80% choose to k
 ill it in a video game when given the chance. Fourth\, those who enlist are
  no angrier\, no more approving of killing\, no more victimized — if anyt
 hing less. They instead care more about their district and suppress empathy
  toward the enemy further through belief alone — seeing its pain as less 
 intense\, not growing more numb than other civilians — while also holding
  violence against it to be more morally justified\; and they judge enlistin
 g moral more than the two-thirds of civilians who already do\, viewing it a
 s a contribution to district security. Fifth\, enlisting then hardens recru
 its: within a year their empathy for the enemy fades by more than half—a 
 numbing to pain they now see clearly. Together\, these findings suggest tha
 t victimization-related fear and anger can sustain a morality and a withhol
 ding of empathy that together sanction lethal violence — yet those who ac
 t are not its angriest victims but its most committed to the district\, mos
 t prone to convince themselves the enemy suffers less—a perception enlist
 ment then replaces with numbing.\\n\\nContact: Yajna Govind - yajna.govind[
