    There’s a Fairly Odd Parents episode where Timmy wishes for this, and his asshole neighbors still found themselves to be the best of the grey blobs

    We were all the same colour. Then some of us left Africa and became weirdly translucent because we needed more sun.

      Yeah, we’re pretty dumb. God is probably screaming at the screen “ you’re all… fucking… the same!”

      Because all Africans look the same? Africans can hate and kill each other just fine. People have forgotten about the Hutu/Tutsi genocide with a million plus dead apparently. That story is still ongoing and currently heating up again with the M23 rebels taking territory in Congo.

        Wouldn’t that be religion? But yeah, it’s sad that humans can always find ‘others’ by any differences and then make that an excuse for discrimination or even genocide.

        Actually, ethnicity is difficult to define. It’s not just skin color, religion, and culture.

        Plus, there’s gender discrimination. Oh, and class warfare. Ah, specism too! Ecocide!!

        So, let’s just all agree that God doesn’t exist and it’s up to us to start looking for empathy where is due ;p

      You mean people in general, I see so many dividing lines that people are willing too enforce and they’re not conservative in any sense of the word.

        Of course not all people who make up things for themselves to feel better about are conservatives, but it’s basically what conservatism is all about, be it national, religious, race or gender based

    People with the same skin color and almost indistinguishable physical features have hated and murdered each other since the dawn of time. Look at the millennia of warfare, hate butchery, and slavery in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, pretty much everywhere.

    Usually people have conflicts with their neighbors, not people from the other side of the globe.

    And they will find another trait. Is not like it’s the only one now… Making them less prone to populism would be a treat, but I have more no idea which implications that would have

    I see a lot of dividing lines that people are prepared to enforce, and they aren’t conservative in the traditional meaning of the word. You mean people in general? Block Blast
