Think about it. If you want world peace people have to go for it every day. I am not demanding shit. Everyone can war until the sun explodes if they wish. You don't have to like it. But if humanity wants peace thry have to choose it.
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, dream on, no one is ever going to give up the conflicts, values and issues that matter to them just because you get the icks from something that is ultimately not your business.
See? Humanity chooses violence even when it is not necessary. You mock and laugh yet offer no substance. You want to be angry at this statement because you know that if our governments couldn't get us to fight each other there would be no war. Go ahead, keep being strung along by your emotions while the world booms "our religions are that of peace!" while surrounded on all sides by warfare and exploitation. You're mad because I am telling you the truth. And you don't want to accept that all of man's struggles can become trivialities if we truly love one another. Stay mad tho.
Yeah, they do, because it works and because it is the more just option in some instances.
I, for example, am on .cafe allowing my account to be downvoted by rape apologists who are arguing rapists have an absolute right to participate in the community regardless of what they do and the fact that their actions put the community in danger. I oppose rape on principle and think rapists ought to be jailed for life. You think shit Lemmy users are going to listen? No, and the downvotes prove it. But will it affect or change anything? Or change their minds? Absolutely not. Because humanity is inherently evil and violent, and nothing you and I say or do will change that.
You can't make violent evil people change their minds, and you can never stop violence just as I can never stop enablers from keeping rapists in the community.
Deontological morality like the kind you and I apply to such situations therefore doesn't work, and we both need to rethink our approach. You want to make the world a better place? Stop focusing on changing the zoo animals and just feed and cage them, where they belong.
