Throughout the entirety of documented history about 1/3 of literally every demographic of people (including yours!) are complete shit. This is why we always have and always will struggle and fail with meaningful progress.

    I hope that's not the case. We've moved a long way from BCE to now, and even in the past hundred years humanity has made significant strides in our collective morals in regards to others. I hate being positive, but maybe this current black mark of governing that is hammering the globe is going to be just a blip.

    If we were going to change we would have by now. Despite technology progressing, people have always been what we are now, just as smart, just as stupid, just as selfish and self destructive. We’re still fighting literally the same war over the bible that we’ve been fighting since the moment we made up the bible. Time is a flat circle that only consists of about 100 years.
