Man people could have probably agreed with what you wrote until "And be honest with yourself if you think the society we live in is anything but a necessary evil: you know you've felt the desire to murder, or torture, or rape, one time or another, just as any other human being, and that you've been hurt by society because it didn't let you exercise the freedom to do these things."

I agree with this "I mostly like our current set of rules, but let's not delude ourselves into seeing them as anything other than a local average optimization!".

...yeah, that's the bigger problem imho, most people are far from honest with themselves :) And then some people, instead of doing some "harmless rape & murder" bending "slightly" some rules of society to let off some steam (like medieval warlords did, chopping some heads off doing a big party "for the lulz", and moving on, maybe even building some churches later to "atone their sins"), choose instead to be "civilized", and go sign some orders to deport millions to concentration camps, or order the stockpiling of nuclear weapons, or some other shit "civilized" people do.
