Why do people like gore? What is it about such horrifying, violent content that fascinates or draws some people in? I've been grappling with this question for a long time, and maybe you've asked yourselves the same thing. For me, it all started when I was younger. One day, a friend of mine—someone I used to think was just being "funny"—showed me the "Ronnie McNutt" video. If you've heard of it, you already know how shocking and heartbreaking it is. At the time, I had no idea what I was about to see, and when it played, I froze. I remember this sinking feeling in my chest, this mix of horror, confusion, and disbelief. I didn't understand how anyone could even think to watch something like that. For days, maybe weeks, I couldn't shake the images from my head. They stayed with me like a shadow, surfacing at random moments when I least expected it. It felt like I'd seen something I was never meant to see, something my mind wasn't built to handle.

But then something strange happened. A year passed, and during that time, I somehow changed without realizing it. I came across similar videos—whether intentionally or not—and instead of feeling shocked or disgusted, I felt… nothing. It was as if my brain had become numb, like it had flipped a switch to protect me. No more sinking feeling. No more sleepless nights. I could watch gore and feel absolutely nothing. And honestly, that realization scared me more than the videos themselves. It made me question myself: Is this what happens when you're exposed to this kind of content too much? Do we lose a piece of ourselves—our compassion, our humanity—just to cope?

So, I want to ask you all: Why do people like watching gore? Is it curiosity? Some twisted form of entertainment? Or is it something deeper, maybe even darker, about human nature? Are we drawn to it because it shows us something raw and real about life, or because it gives us a sense of power over our fears? For me, I still don't know the answer, but I can't deny how much I've changed because of it. And I wonder—does this happen to everyone? Does the shock fade for everyone until all that's left is indifference? Or is this numbness something unique to a few people?I'd really love to hear what you think about this. Why do you think people are drawn to gore? Have you had similar experiences or different ones? Let's start a conversation—feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below. if ur reading till this thanks for ur time

War. War never changes.

January 20 Baku tragedy — on the night of January 19-20, 1990, at 11:30 p.m., the troops of the Soviet Union attacked the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR In accordance with the Decree "On declaring a state of emergency in the city of Baku" and in order to prevent mass riots organized by representatives of the political opposition, they entered the city of Baku, guided by Article 14, Clause 119 of the Constitution of the USSR. The period of destabilization of the situation in the republic was primarily related to the territorial dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan regarding Karabakh. This led to the creation of uncontrollable situations in the region, including manifestations of ethnophobia. In July 1989, the Azerbaijan People's Front political organization became the leader of the Azerbaijan national movement. Against this background, in the beginning and middle of January 1990, mass demonstrations were held in the country against the communist government in Baku, which turned into clashes between Armenians and Azerbaijanis.According to the memoirs of the then chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Azerbaijan SSR, Ayaz Mutallibov, written on December 25, 1989, Abdurahman Vazirov, the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Republic of Azerbaijan, called him: "He said that a disaster is brewing and we should ask Moscow for help. Our Ministry of Internal Affairs We did not have our own internal troops equipped with helmets and batons. They only followed orders from Moscow. We asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Council of Ministers to send troops General Secretary of the Communist Party of the USSR Mikhail Gorbachev and Minister of Defense Dmitri Yazov argued that martial law was necessary to prevent the attempts of the Azerbaijani independence movement to overthrow the government of Soviet Azerbaijan. Until the arrival of the Soviet troops, the People's Front was effectively controlled several regions of the country. Before the state of emergency was declared, 82 people died and 21 people were injured. 21 more people were killed after the declaration of emergency on January 20 and in the following days. Eight more people died in areas where emergency was not declared - on January 25 in Neftchala and on January 26 in Lankaran.

EVENTS

In December 1989, Azerbaijanis living in regions bordering Iran ripped down border fences, demanding closer ties with ethnic Azerbaijanis living in Iran. The local authorities in Jalilabad surrendered to rioters, turning over administration to the Popular Front of Azerbaijan. This was followed by a non-violent turnover of the Lankaran administration to the Popular Front two weeks later.

On 9 January 1990, the Supreme Soviet of the Armenian SSR voted to include Nagorno-Karabakh in its budget and allowed its inhabitants to vote in Armenian elections, thus disregarding Soviet authority and Azerbaijani SSR jurisdiction, and causing outrage throughout the republic.This led to demonstrations which demanded the ousting of Azerbaijani communist officials and called for independence from the Soviet Union. Their rhetoric was, according to a Human Rights Watch report, "heavily anti-Armenian". On 12 January, the Popular Front organized a national defence committee with branches in factories and offices in Baku. The aim was to mobilize the population for battle with local Armenians.

Maneuvers of the Soviet Army in Baku, 20 January 1990

Local Azerbaijani authorities were unable to restore order because of internal quarrelling and divisions that paralyzed their ability to act. Azerbaijani authorities also ordered the 12,000-strong Interior Ministry troops to abstain from intervening in the Baku riots and numerous Soviet army and fleet units of the Baku garrison and Caspian Flotilla did not intervene to stop the riots, claiming that they had no orders from Moscow authorities.On 13 January, anti-Armenian pogrom began in Baku which resulted in 48 deaths, while thousands fled or were evacuated by the Soviet military.

On 15 January, the authorities declared a state of emergency in several parts of Azerbaijan, except Baku. At the same time, fearing an intervention of the central Soviet authorities, Popular Front activists began a blockade of military barracks.They had already taken de facto control in a number of Azerbaijani regions.

On 18 January, the Popular Front ordered supporters to barricade the main access routes into Baku using hundreds of cars, trucks, and buses. The next day, Soviet authorities evacuated its representatives and local officials, moving them to military command posts in the outskirts of the city where Soviet Minister of Defence Dmitry Yazov and Interior Minister Vadim Bakatin were positioned.

Late at night on 19 January 1990, after the demolition of the central television station and termination of phone and radio lines by Soviet special forces, 26,000 Soviet troops entered Baku, smashing through the barricades in order to crush the Popular Front.As claimed by Mikhail Gorbachev, gunmen of the Azerbaijani National Front opened fire on the soldiers; however, findings of the Moscow-based non-governmental organization Shield found no evidence of "armed combatants of Azerbaijani Popular Front", which was used as a motive to crush the civilian population on 20 January.

The independent Shield organization which consists of a group of lawyers and officers in reserve, observed human rights violations in the army and its military operations,and concluded that the army waged a war on its civilians and demanded to start a criminal investigation against the Minister of Defence, Dmitry Yazov, who had personally led the operation. The Azerbaijani Interior Ministry officials helped Popular Front activists in stirring disorder by providing them with weapons, technical facilities, and informing them about the movement of army units.

The troops attacked the protesters, firing into the crowds. The shooting continued for three days. They acted pursuant to a state of emergency, which continued for more than four months afterward, declared by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, signed by Chairman Mikhail Gorbachev. The state of emergency was, however, disclosed to the Azerbaijani public only several hours after the beginning of the offensive, when many citizens already lay dead or wounded in the streets, hospitals and morgues of Baku.

Almost the whole population of Baku turned out to bury the dead on the third day, 22 January. For another 40 days, the country stayed away from work as a sign of mourning and mass protest.

Death Toll

Victims of Black January in Martyrs' Lane, Baku.

According to several sources, between 133 and 137 civilians died with the unofficial number reaching 300. Up to 800 were injured and 5 went missing.An additional 26 people were killed in Neftchala and Lankaran regions of the country.

According to one report, 93 Azerbaijanis and 29 Soviet soldiers were killed in the street skirmishes. Other reports state that 21 soldiers were killed and 90 wounded in the fighting. However, how the soldiers died is still disputed. The soldiers' death toll was claimed by Soviet authorities to have resulted from armed resistance, although some of the soldiers could have been victims of friendly fire.

International Reactions about this event

🇹🇷 Turkey The position of the Turkish politicians and media organizations of the time was diverse and different. Referring to the events of January 20, Turkish President Turgut Özal said, "Azerbaijanis are closer to Azeris in Iran than to Turkic peoples in Anatolia. They are Shiites, we are Sunnis," he said, trying to take a neutral position in the events. Democratic Left Party (DSP) President Bulent Ecevit called the Azerbaijani Turks Friendship and Solidarity Association in Istanbul and expressed his support for Azerbaijan. In addition, a group of about 10,000 people protested the emergency situation in Baku by walking from Taksim Square in Istanbul to Galatasaray. In 2014, Sinan Ogan, Igdir MP of the Turkish Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), noted that "on January 20, the first torch of the independence of Azerbaijani Turks was lit."

🇬🇧 British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said in her interviews on January 23/24, 1990 that she "understands" and supports the massacre. In an interview on April 3, 1990, Thatcher repeated the same opinion and said that what the Soviet army did in Baku on January 20 was "important".

🇺🇸 One day before the January 20 massacre, on January 19, the chairman of the US Senate foreign affairs subcommittee in Moscow, Claiborne Pell, said in a meeting between the USSR Foreign Minister Shevardnadze: The Soviet leadership should not allow Azerbaijan to continue exercising control over Karabakh, ensure the security of the Armenian population should take all measures to do so, remove Nagorno-Karabakh from Azerbaijan. Allowing Azerbaijan to continue to control Nagorno-Karabakh means worsening the situation. In addition, US senators John Kerry, Pete Wilson, Paul Seimak, Larry Brexler, Claiborne Pell appealed to Gorbachev on January 18 and asked him to help the Armenians. Central Washington under the leadership of George Bush did not support the independence movement in Azerbaijan. At the same time, the United States evaluated Gorbachev's "state of emergency" decision to resolve the issue as a "praiseworthy step" to suppress the current situation in Azerbaijan.

🇮🇷 On January 21, 1990, Iranian President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani expressed his "regret" at the armed violence that occurred in Soviet Azerbaijan on January 20. In a statement issued on January 21, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran expressed deep sorrow over the events and demanded that the Soviet authorities stop the wrong measures against the people of Azerbaijan. Also, many members of the Iranian parliament condemned Gorbachev's armed aggression against Azerbaijan.

You can always raise your "arms" to the sky my friend,

you almost welcomed God with open "arms".

Come on, don't stay with "arms" dangling,

you have to take life at "arm" 's length
