Zero Edge Most content consumption leads to anger, hate, and mental pain. Not consuming content leads to mellowness and peace but an uninformed stance. I used to think the world was "nice" and most people were "good" but it seems harder and harder to find those things I used to think. Is the internet just very good at highlighting the "edge cases". Does the internet accurately represent the world and its opinion as a whole or is it just edge case after edge case.
🐊 Andromeda Pie White people raped and pillaged the world for centuries. Now that we took their toys away they are throwing a hissy fit by being fascist right wing trolls. It's mainly white American men. Most people are alright. Don't let it get you down.

😏 Yt L. Non-white groups throughout history have done their share of rape and pillage. Why would you single out a specific race and gender to complain about their history?

🐊 Andromeda Pie Of course they have. But I don't see any other groups spreading hate on subreply except white men. As soon as a Mongol shows up and threatens bigotry against non Mongols, I'll be sure to include them in my example.

😏 Yt L. I think it makes sense to be mad at specific people for their specific wrongdoing, but it's irrational to attribute greater harm or malice to people just because their forebears may have done objectionable things. A modern Mongol isn't guilty for the crimes of Genghis Khan.

☕ David Antoine Exactly, that push to make "children pay for their parents wrongdoing" is demented. And while those people do that, they don't themselves take responsibility for their specific and actual wrongdoing... If we start like that, then your are going to never stop blaming absolutely everyone on earth for all the past historical objectionable things. Don't forget, OK, but don't do it again...

🐊 Andromeda Pie I didn't say ALL white men are being problematic here. Just that ALL the people being problematic ARE white men. Small but big difference.

😏 Yt L. Why make it about race and gender at all, especially when you don't really know either? Why not just say "Person X is being problematic" or "Behavior X examples here are problematic"?
