You are wrong. I do not doubt that many suppress such thoughts, but some at least also do not have them.
And I’d like to make a distinction here about intrusive thoughts and things I actually phantasize about doing. I have intrusive thoughts, but I know that I wouldn’t want to act out on any that hurt another living being, even if guaranteed to have no consequences.
You may not. You made a statement about “everyone” that you can’t know to be true because you can’t know anyone but yourself. I need only one counter-example, namely myself, to know you are wrong. If you do not get this, then you don’t understand the concept of falsifiability in sciences.
Your logic is acting like a guard dog, protecting a feeling. You notice that sensation? That elevated sense of tension and rigidity? That defensiveness.
Now, if you take the time, away from me and the internet, you may be able to discover what iit is inside you that’s being protected.

You say I’m wrong and then explain that I’m right. Thanks
You are wrong about this. If you read properly, you would have understood this.
Well, I’ve got you this thread on one side of this point.
And I’ve got decades of research, history and professional experience on the other side.
You’ve not convinced me yet! 😀
I don’t need to convince you for you to be wrong.
Then may I suggest starting with some Carl Jung?
His work on both Archetypes and Shadow-Self will be illuminating

Very effective logic.
