    It’s basically the same tribe, with the same vacuum of ideology, the same selfish materialistic desires and a strong belief in moral relativism. Any kindness and self-sacrificial attitude (instead of cruelty and selfishness to the point of colonialism and slavery) seems to be nothing but an accident, or a spark of humanity that’s quickly extinguished. From the hippies to Greta, I thank them all but I have no hope that their tribes will back them up as they never have, these are rare instances of kindness in a group of people that historically don’t have much of it. And the US only joined WW2 when it was deemed a profitable venture, y’all gotta stop with this “we’re heroes” bs, lol. No, your grandfather might have been brave (maybe he was just bloodthirsty? Or only a reluctant victim of circumstance?), but it doesn’t make him a ‘hero’. But what’s an empire without military worship, right? 🙄
