    I’ll never understand this “behold the master race” type bullshit. Take Trump for example, he started off in life with every conceivable advantage and turned out to be phenomenally stupid, lazy, and amoral.

    Meanwhile there are people with darker skin who came to the US with nothing and have worked their asses off to get ahead. They pay their taxes, don’t commit crimes, and are a net positive to the US - all the while being demonized by Trump and his dumbfuck fanbase.

      Because we’re chimps. Tribalism is in our DNA. And unfortunately, education and socialization doesn’t simply solve the problem.

      There will always be a battle against those who feed the primitive ape brain for their own selfish purposes.

      That is human nature in a nutshell.

        Grinding my teeth as I’m peddling uphill

        The fight against ape-hood is fate versus free will

        We think we’ve advanced but there’s nowhere to go

        Mammals stay captive to animal actions

        So slowly we climb up this DNA brick wall

        Addicted to emptiness, anger and pitfalls

        Desire for space, territory, or lust

        We’ll eventually turn this whole planet to dust

      To be fair Trump is orange maybe orange people are dumb and inferior, we don’t know haven’t met any orange people. But his kids are all just as dumb so it definitely in the genes with them. The rest of us are human and come in all shades and intelligences.
