Has humanity become hateful towards each other?

Postby Southeastern Xiatao » Thu Sep 22, 2016 8:42 pm

Where should I start? No seriously where should I honestly start with this topic?

Maybe this might help me start off. These are all comments I cited from YouTube, Reddit, 4chan, and even from news sites like CNN, and BBC World News. They are going to be remained anonymous, for reasons. Should I seriously even mention my reasons to keep these people who commented these things? I think not, or else that might make shit more worse honestly.

"Europe is soooooo fucked. It's irreversible. What has been done can never be undone. Hundreds of years of unique heritage and European culture, it's being washed away under the illusion of tolerance and multiculturalism."

Tolerance, so your complaining about tolerance for all the European people, when in reality if you look back at history we can see that Europeans were never tolerant with each other for a long time. Like for instance the British were intolerant of the Irish when the United Kingdom still owned it. French and British used to hate each other. (Hundred Years of War, and French and Indian War ring a bell?!), World War I and World War II and even the Cold War in Europe explains a whole fucking lot of how Europeans weren't tolerant of each other. Hypocritical.

"I hope every single trash boat they float out of Libya capsizes and they all doe just for this."

How very nice... To say that, you must be the nicest person in the entire world... And at the same time this person who commented this probably wouldn't understand what it like if he or she was a refugee themselves, since it probably entirely alien to them to imagine themselves as a refugee fleeing for his or her life from a war-torn or third world nation. I mean yes, terrorism is something to always worry about, BUT GUESS WHAT? Terrorism will always happen, as much as we wish we can stop this madness we call terrorism it sadly cannot be completely stopped. It can be lowered if we work fucking together against terrorism.

But closing down borders, or denying refugee or immigration to people from nations with high terrorist activity is going to make everything worse.

But then having a ton of refugees where there is a possibility of them being terrorists is low, but terrorist attacks still happens and more innocent people end up DEAD. SO that is also making things worse.

"Immigrants are coming into our country and are stealing all our jobs, taking everything we worked hard for, and as a result destroying our nation."

Oh really? Perhaps this person is too far completely backwards, that they themself forget the fact that their ancestors were immigrants. And since their ancestors were immigrants, they too got this same shit and discrimination from other citizens of the nation (United States for instance). Oh, what's that you say? Get the fuck out of our country? OKAY GOOD IDEA! You'll have to back to your country of origin your ancestors originated from since technically we came to the New World and other places we colonized without caring about a single thing about the native people. (Native Americans, First Nations, Bantus, Australian Aborigines, Maori, etc.)

Should I give more cited comments I grabbed from across the Internet? I think not, because I think I stated enough.

So this leads me to my final question, have we human beings became nothing but careless, cold-blooded beings? Have we become only more hateful towards each other, to a point we are almost at the point that we are seeing other groups of people as "not considered people" now? I mean yes we are naturally evil of course, its in our genes (if you believe in science, or both religion and science) that we humans are naturally evil.

But are we like really this fucking evil??? Have we really become this, to a point that we even perhaps might even destroy one another in the name of hatred? I wouldn't be fucking surprised honestly.

Human nature. We are no more cold blooded today then in the times of the Pharaohs. Discrimination is found in all cultures and all nations. The internet means more of this stuff gets out there, but people have always been jerks to each other.

True. Frankly, I don't care what other people say online. They can spout BS if they like, but I won't take it seriously. Everyone I know either keeps it to themselves or doesn't express such feelings. Quite honestly, if you believe something, say it to people openly, don't hide behind a screen. Personal opinion.

Pretty much so yes. This is pretty much called GIFT (Greatest Internet Fuckwad Theory) also called online disinhibition effect, where people will say the most meanest, rudest and offensive online, but offline they never say things like that and are actually nice people.

Human resentment and spite is at a high. Look at how Trump is doing in the presidential race despite a litany of bigoted comments and a record of cheating every living creature around him.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

I doubt that humanity is significantly more hateful today then at some randomized point in the past. I would further suggest that OP has skewed their results by referencing "YouTube, Reddit, 4chan" etc.

Where were you for 1914-1919, 1937-1945, 1950-1951, 1959-1979, 1991-2004, 2011-2016? Humans have hated each other for thousands of years before 1914, we've fought each other over religion, ways of life, money, kings and queens. Humanity already hated itself, it's just in these current years have we questioned why we hate each other..... While others continue to keep the hate going whether it be North Korea, or religious extremists.

How is this even a question?

Look at Dallas, where blue bloods were murdered in cold blood.

Look at 1940 Germany, where an entire country tried to wipe one ethnicity off the face of the planet.

Look at the period between 1945-1991, where America and the Soviets were building bigger bombs for the simple single purpose of killing more and more people.

Look at Trump. That should be self explanatory.

Look at 1985-1991 Iraq, where the Iraqis used nerve gas against kids. Fucking children.

Look at Syria the past few years. They also use bombs against kids.

Any more examples? Oh yeah:
North Korea
The Vietnam War
Slavery in America
Slavery in General
The Sex Slave Trade
Weapons R&D programs
Biological weapons
WWI
WWII
The Crusades
The Trail of Tears
The Roman Empire
The Thirty Years War
The Hundred Years War

Humans have always sort of been dicks to each other.

And it should be no surprise that people are kind of unwilling to make concessions to people they do not feel in any way related to. And it's kind of a problem when the amount of refugees (alleged or real) breaks the millions - that's a lot of people who will very often hold values that fundamentally contradict those of European societies. Asking for those people to be shot or for them to die otherwise is, yes, extremely callous and distateful, I agree, but we're far further along on the whole "tolerance" thing than the Middle East. For instance, do parts of society shun you for being homosexual? Yes, of course, but you don't usually get murdered for it.
My personal worry lies with allowing entry to that many people with that many conflicting values.

Face it though, the average 4chan-er is more hateful than Trump.

So what you hate is that you think he was incorrect. But you didn't feel like saying that, only alluding to it vaguely with a statement that could be taken a hundred different ways.
