🐊 Andromeda Pie Sign for a new social network promoting itself as trustworthy and the first thing I see is a racial slur lmao

👁️ Mbladra Did the internet boards always have racists, or has that been more of a recent thing

Juha Think about the human nature in general and you have an answer. We are not nice creatures

📉 Bill Think about all of nature in general. Humans are not some godly being in some love bubble disconnected from reality. Everything is in constant competition

Juha I do not understand what you're saying. What do you mean?

📉 Bill We can't ever "just get along". Everything in this world is inherently in competition to survive the next day.

👁️ Mbladra I don't think that's true at all.. I mean if you really wanted to, I guess you might be able to do some mental gymnastics to shoehorn the world into a lens of 'inherent competition', but that's pretty obviously going to be a poor explaination of a lot of largely cooperative phenomena

📉 Bill For us, cooperation can exist between groups but not between everyone since we're in a closed system of finite resources. There is inherent competition between those with resources and those without.
