      Feels almost like a non sequitur, even if not untrue. I know enough history to know that evil is banal, but that chiefly refers to people who stay silent, choose comfort over justice, and follow unethical orders. It’s taking things a ways further to say most people are mostly evil, don’t you think?

        Comes down to your definition of evil, really. And how comfortable you are calling the majority of people evil - if you aren’t, obviously you’ll jump through a few extra hoops to keep that worldview intact.

              You have done that yourself. I stopped to chat with someone else who seems to be in a dark place mentally. You seem only to delight in your darkness. I have marked your tendencies before, and the judgment remains.

                Dog, I just don’t find comfort in burying my head in the sand. Humans are inherently capable of great evils - ignoring this fact enables the horrors to continue. But everyone’s always going to think they’re the good guy, so the orphan crushing machine crushes ever faster.

                Also, talking like a chode is totally a great way to sound smarter.
