El circo del «malote»

An analysis by Omnes examines how popular culture and school environments often portray villains as magnetic and bold while depicting good people as boring or predictable. The report argues that this caricature hides a darker reality where disruptive behavior is actually a desperate attempt to escape oneself.

Drawing on the work of classicist Edith Hall and the observations of Aristotle, the piece suggests that immoral behavior does not stem from strength but from psychological instability. Aristotle noted that criminals often seek constant companionship to avoid the loneliness of their own conscience and the weight of their memories. According to the text, these individuals use social distraction to forget unpleasant thoughts, though they remain unable to experience true joy alongside their regrets.
