    Virtually all countries have many corpses in their basements.

        How many are killed in the wars and invasions in the past of any country? Germany, Spain, GB, USA, Rusia, Israel, China…since the first Australopithecus discovered that a stick was very useful for smashing the skulls of others. It is inherent in human nature to have a tendency to destroy one’s neighbor, at the command of leaders eager for power and often for childish reasons…

          It’s inherent to be territorial as much as it is to be jealous and greedy. Yet we still build mostly working societies.

          It’s just that the current international framework is still stuck in the primitive ‘right of the stronger’ principle.

          Undoubtedly they do have some, but the number is not comparable to for example UK. I meant that sweeping statements like above are basically useless, even for a meme. Also this particular usage in this meme definitely sound like “all lives matter”.

      Some of us just been collecting for a long time.

      It’s honestly impressive how much shit the UK has fucked up over the last millennia.

      Don’t see why I should be ashamed of it though. I didn’t do it.
