I understand that the US is totally corrupt and that it promotes murder and genocide to generate profits for a few multi-national arms manufactures. OK, I get it. But the part I simply cannot comprehend is that the rest of the world stands by and does nothing: it looks away. The only theory I have been able to accept is that Homo Sapiens, that’s us, all of us, are a failed species, and we are not, nor ever will be capable of better. Anthropogenic climate disruption, brought about by this failed species of “we the people”, is coming for us all. And it will be here soon. Self-generated, collective punishment.

Our only failure as human beings is our blind adherence to the Supremacist death cult of Judeo-Christianity, the killingest ideology in world history by many tens of millions more innocent slaughtered. Humans aren't bad, but Abrahamism is factually the greatest evil on earth, based on their massive kill counts. The devout Calvinist Capitalists ( born of the same Supremacist screed) are giving them a run for their money. The problem isn't humans. The problem is horrific lack of thought in the face of evil ideology. Eradicate all Abrahamic being. Friends don't let friends believe all that Judeo-Christian Supremacist bullshit.

You are aware that Islam is an Abrahamic faith, right?

How can the most overpopulated, most dominant animal be a failed species?

Humans (Homo sapiens) are extremely successful—maybe too much. Weird that you acknowledge we are animals but then expect something better from a bunch of hairless monkeys with 2.5 times more neurons than other primates and the ability to sweat.

Honestly, our dominance as a species is only accelerating. I don’t know if you keep up with scientific advancements, but a bunch of really smart monkeys are figuring out some insane things.

The problem isn’t Homo sapiens itself—it’s just the natural behavior of social and territorial animals. Expecting humans to suddenly abandon conflict and hierarchy is like expecting war ants to stop raiding and enslaving other colonies. This is just our behavioral pattern.

(Disclaimer: Yes, I know "monkey" isn’t accurate—it should be "hominid," but "monkey" is funnier.)
