What is Humanity's Worst Failure?

[Orberstine]

Communism, the End of Imperialism, and the shift from monarchies to democracies.

Why? Imperialism was a horrible thing for nearly everyone except the white man. Do I really have to show you the horrors of the Belgium Congo?

While I agree Imperialism was not pretty, "white men" were not the only ones to partake in it.

[Stucco Houses]

What, exactly, would even a relativist hold is desirable about it?

Its not destructive. Doesnt throw the world out of balance.

But why is "balance" desirable? What is "balance"? Is balance preferable to the millions of human lives and advances toward species-wide betterment allowed by agriculture?

Disco.

[The first Galactic Republic]

Shitposting.

The Incredible Hulk and Elektra were also not okay movies.

[Jumalariik]

Our failure to do justice to each other.

[Benuty]

Disco.

Admit it.

You were into disco as a teenager weren't you?

Our failure to do justice to each other.

What failure?
What justice?
Which eachother?

I don't think the Earth could sustain the population with hunting and gathering. What's the plan there?

While that is true. White men were mainly the ones that benefit, yes, I include the Ottomans and the Japanese did do Imperialism but a majority of problems from Imperialism extended from European nations.

Heh, no. I was a deadhead.

We'll just have to start with the deadliest prey of all...

Disco.

How could you say no to a guy like this?

I suppose that is the point, but 6 1/2 billion people aren't going into the good night voluntarily.

[Pandeeria]

Dear fucking hell...

Shouldn't be a surprise given our modest size of monarchists on this forum (especially the ones that go all out against democracy). They aren't as prevalent as I remember though.

I'm not only astounded about the Monarchy to Democracy, but also Communism, and more so that he felt that Imperialism was good.

I'm not even a Communist either.

There are many examples of primitive societies being destructive. In the Southwest, the Amerindians cleared enough forest to destabilize the climate.

And what were they doing that for?

Heh, bay Ridge in da house.

Yes.

Building huts and for fire.

Basically when people do not get paid for the work that they do, that their value is not rewarded. It is the great failure because it means that we cannot have true justice.

This game sounds like the most dangerous of them all.

Of course, and I didn't mean to give a defensive tone if one was given at all. I'd consider the Ottomans and Japanese "dishonourable mentions" and inspired if anything by the major powers of the day. If you weren't conquering someone was conquering you it seemed.

I dunno, people seem to think they'll be able to bring about another crusade or return every state in Europe to absolute monarchy or restore the Roman empire by posting memes on the internet, why should getting everyone to go back to hunting and gathering be any harder?

Yes.

I suppose outside of the practical reasons for this what exactly would be better by this?

Holding my breath for something actually beneficial to us other than implied mass death tolls.

[Neutraligon]

I would say our inability to work for the future when there are short term loses.
