eli5: Why do we destroy/feel the urge to destroy things when angry? How does that relieve anger/stress?
In: Other
It is an ancient form of blackmail. When a person starts destroying objects (or harming pets, livestock, people…) , other people are inclined to yield to their demands. You’ll notice an angry person only acts out this way when they believe they can achieve someting and never when they know they can’t intimidate the people around them. Just something to keep in mind.
