no, the conflict would likely turn even worse. Way too many see animals as inferior beings for people to just agree on something like this.

both of those should get split up too

article should have less loaded heading though. by now it should be expected that most read only that. Heading in general should contain the essence of the article so the general idea can be seen at a glance.

Putin likely ordered him to be kept in such conditions that he will die because of that.

You are right.

But I try to think things as objectively as possible and hope others would too (but dont expect it).

No one probably thinks what they are doing is wrong or at least try to find justification for it, objectively there are things that cause good or bad things regardless of your intentions. While good results don't excuse evil actions, bad results are still bad results regardless of your intentions. Its ok to try even if there are risks, but one should always consider if the risks outweigh the results. And sometimes even if everything goes according to plan, it might still cause things to happen you end up regretting and it would have been better for everyone if you had thought it more.

That is what i wish people thought more instead of limiting themselves to just political things and easy terms. Ultimately it doesn't matter who is in power but what it causes.

Those are good points. But what i mean by that kind of thinking/system resulting in us killing eachothers is that its what i think to be the "endgame" for it. Ones in power exterminate those who they see undeserving of life, criteria for it keeps changing/rising and eventually last human kills second last human, to generalize a bit. And even if it doesnt result in that, it will result in life that isnt worth living for anyone but those select few that are on top of it, except for the hope of toppling it. Its deadend for humans.

If you think about it logically, there are some core things that are always good. Like considering everyone to be inherently equal. While there are things that muddle even this point, it still wont take away that you should always keep those core principles in mind. Religious teachings have pretty good point about this with "treat others like you want yourself be treated" and "love even your enemys". That is the only logical way to do things because to do otherwise leads to all of us either just killing each other or making life miserable so we want die.

I had some other thought about this too, but i cant seem to be able to properly put it to words at the moment. But the idea was that we should all try to think about things without ego getting in the way and to never lie to oneself about anything or atleast admit to ourselves when we have to do so. The part i cant seem put to words is the part that ties to the previous thing i said.

entire "left and right" spectrum is quite stupid in my opinion. While it generally points towards what kind of thoughtset someone might have, it doesnt seem very beneficial and has been corrupted quite badly so that term for other side is red flag for the another side and drives people to think you cant have something from both ends.

There should be something else in its place, but i cant come up with anything better on the spot though. Personally i have tried to start thinking it on spectrum of beneficial to humanity as whole vs not beneficial, though with enough mental gymnastics even that could be corrupted to mean awful things

I probably worded it badly then, because more individualism is last thing we need now

Well i'm hoping people might think about it. Gatekeeping is one solution but its very bad solution too. Once something becomes popular enough businessmen become interested its kind of too late to start reacting. Can't think of any solutions for actively dealing with ongoing situation that dont create more and new problems.

Be careful what you promote in case it actually becomes popular and be careful of those who lust after money if they try to worm in. Be extra careful to not lust after money yourself if you ever find yourself in position where you could make a lot of it, it will slowly but surely eventually corrupt you if you stop being mindful of it or assume you are immune to it.

Popularity and by extension, money, will corrupt and ruin everything.
