Average includes the extremes. Trump, Putin and King Elizabeth all grew up in different parts of the "good" world with extreme wealth and power and all of them became assholes. At some point, you have to think that humanity is bound to end at this point whatever you do.

Also, this is another hot take but they are what they are because we let them be. Every American is complicit in Trump's actions whether they voted for him or not. If we really cared, we would have stormed the White House by now. We don't, so we don’t. I know I don’t care enough about Ukraine or Palestine to do anything other than online discussion or boycotting some brands.

It might not be the intention but modern day feminism has become so much about what women can and cannot do and how men are pigs.

It is. Most people associate feminism with promoting women and not equality. Most people don’t look up the definition in a dictionary

This is the kind of thinking that pushes men away from feminism. When there is a clear intention to favor one sex over the other, the other will obviously be much less inclined to help.

This is the basic problem with how feminism is promoted. If you don’t agree with our views, you are a sexist pig.

This is not a good way to make reluctant people to accept your ideas. It pushes them even further into opposition.

Reparations from whom exactly? Russia is not giving you shit. US is going to bleed your mines dry because they "helped" you. Europe cannot afford to.

100% agree with this. A lot of people associate feminism with oppression of men.

If feminism means equality, yes. If it means women are better than men, no. If it means women have been oppressed so now it is their turn, no.

War is not about innovation, it is about money.

I agree with most of what you said except this -

They are soulless, heartless ruthless poor examples of humanity.

They are the sum of all human nature. They represent the average of us, whether we like it or not.
