What is the worst thing humanity has collectively done?

I get that you’re saying that predators don’t have any social skills, but I don’t understand the comment made in this particular case. Are you saying the Internet for nerds or that people on Listnook? Don’t have social media because they don’t have friends? If it’s the social media thing is social media is super addictive and caused a lot of issues. And you’re letting a giant corporation slowly tell you how to think of what you want and how you should look. If it’s the fact that I like the Internet, then I would say yes I like the fact that when I need an answer to a random question, I can look it up instantly. Today I was talking to my niece about how a big blue cow was. She didn’t believe me so I compared it a T-Rex. I didn’t have to go to the library and then look up blue Wells and encyclopedia and two Rex in encyclopedia and then compare the two. Also a blue whale can weigh between 110 and 180,000 kg. An elephant only weighs around 1000 kg perspective.

It objectively was the worst single policy a state (in fact, several states) ever carried out against completely innocent people in human history. It involved basically every institution in the German government and society at every stage. You should probably read a book about the Holocaust.

I respect your respect

>Most of the arguments on the internet are over what words mean. My experience is that most arguments on the internet is over what people think they know what words mean. >Most socialists I've talked to are actually capitalists, they just want regulations on it. Case in point. "Capitalist" is not an ideological term, it refers to the ownership class under the capitalist economic system. Edit: And you are likely not a capitalist. What you mean is that most socialists you've talked to were [reformists](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reformism) (like me!) and not revolutionaries. There's a huge difference but the goal is still to dismantle capitalism. It is done by economic reform through a democratic mandate and not some bloody revolution where everything gets torn to shreds. >Nobody wants the government controlling everything, unless you are a communist. This is were the confusion about what words mean really set in. Collective ownership is not necessarily state ownership. Before the term was perverted by the Leninists, communism explicitly meant that workers should take ownership and control of the means of production. That is how it is described in the communist manifesto. That this should be done through the state wasn't even on the table until the Bolsheviks took control of the Russian state and somehow that is what it has come to mean. >People want to be able to build a business for themselves and make their own way, with rules so assholes can't f*** them over. So I can make bread in a sanitary way without the next guy making bread with cockroaches and selling it for cheaper. Nobody's got time to vet every bread maker, that's what we need the government for. Yeah, but so often the people that make it difficult to start businesses are capitalists that are pricing smaller businesses out and the businesses that produce bread in unsanitary conditions do so because they are trying to meet the profit demands of capitalists that are trying to maximally extract wealth out of the production and exchange of goods. If these are some of the issues you want the government to deal with, then congrats you're an anti-capitalist. It's no surprise that you as a liberal find yourself agreeing with socialists because historically socialism was a continuation of liberalism, not a rejection of it.
