Nobody stops you you know... What an incredibly dumb comment...

You genuinely believe every single Russian soldier is there out of their own free will?

Again, I'd blame society for that, not humanity.

I don't know if you've noticed, but the actual power in the world lies in the hand of just a fraction of percent of the people. Those asshole ruin it for everyone else.

Doesn't mean the average human is evil.

Pretty cool app. I'll try it out for a bit. Nice work!

Thank you for being much more eloquent than me.

The average troll wouldn't be an asshole in real life. They'd likely just be an average bloke like us all that lost theirselves in online anonimity.

Time and time again we see that in many disasters the majority of people in the affected community come together and help each other tremendously.

There is ofcourse always rotten apples and exceptions. That doesn't take away from the fact that people are inherintly good to their fellow human.

Oh yeah, absolutely. And I'd feel horrible for the human being on the other side of the scope... I'm talking about the actual human being with a life being killed. Not the politics behind it.

That doesn't mean I'm justifying the atrocities Russia commits or even remotely support their unprovoked attack. Russia is the bad guy, no discussion. But they're still humans and I can still feel bad for the needless loss of human life.

Oh, I feel equally bad, or even worse when I see what happens to Ukrainians. My heart bleeds for what they're going through.

That doesn't mean I can't feel empathy for individual people that get killed in the blink of an eye...

That's a very simple way of putting things imo :)

The west also has internet access. Some people still end up hateful/believing in flat earth/conspiracy theories.

That doesn't mean they're bad people, just very misguided.

Fair enough :)

I just don't see how believing the worst in your fellow human can encourage you to improve things.

Man, every time I see videos like that, my heart breaks. Those are actual human beings with families, loved ones, hopes and dreams... (I know Russia does much worse things to the other side, but that doesn't change the feeling. Most conscripts are just brainwashed cannon fodder :()

Fuck war so much...

I hate that pov so much.

Humanity is fantastic, wonderful, loving and amazing. It's not a shit hole.

I'd argue society is really broken in some places, but not humanity.

As for Social media: it just brings out some dark side in some people. The vast majority of people on social media behave. It's just that the outliers catch the attention.
