What do you think the appeal of burning women as witches was?

We are drawn towards narratives that demonise others and explain what is wrong with our world. It starts small and in the end we believe they should be eradicated or destroyed, then the danger will pass. It's never very evidence-based, but for those on the inside it seems to fit the narrative.

Today it's muslims, leftists, antifa, conspirators, right wing extremists, feminists... (fill in the gap).

@Abstraction I thought maybe people liked to hear women scream as they're being burned alive, I know that's what'd attract my interest.
