It’s not us a “species” which is disgusting. It’s capitalism and a history of settler-colonialism which enforce disgusting behaviour.
Humans learn through language and culture. Yes at the moment the vast majority of humans blindly follow along in behaving in an abhorrent manner, but that doesn’t mean our fate is sealed or that we’re incapable of change, and building a new culture which encourages cooperative and better behaviour.
Sure, but a lot of other humans didn’t. Can’t much write off an entire species because we failed to prevent an outlier from gaining power for a little while.
Yes you can? Capitalism was very much at the root of the conflict. It can accurately be reduced to capitalism. You can elaborate and provide further detail to how it happened, but that doesn’t change the big picture.

This nihilistic right wing nonsense is just an excuse not to attempt to build something better. It’s lazy thinking and deeply unscientific.
Yeah, capitalism is what caused all the world wars, even the little battles those guys with the swords did back in 900BC.
You can’t just shift the blame for everything in the world on that one thing you hate, just doesn’t work like that
Capitalism literally caused both world wars.
Humans caused capitalism.

Also can’t much attribute all the complexities of both wars to just “capitalism” either. That was my point.

Of course you can over-simplify everything. You can do whatever you want!
There is a difference between simplifying and oversimplifying. Just like there is a difference between nuance and losing the forest for the trees.
Wasn’t it a couple lads with hurt feelings?
The larger causes were interimperial squabbling which is inevitable when capitalism reaches the stage of competing for foreign markets.
Look at it this way: industrialized warfare required capitalism.
Those guys with the swords in 900bc were fighting over the ability to hoard and exploit available resources and value. That’s capitalism.
So what do you call whenever it’s two communist regimes that are fighting over resources
Good propaganda.

France and Israel still have tons of communes. The US used to have thousands as well.

The no true Scotsman.
I mean if the person you’re calling a Scotsman is from Bangladesh…
