How after World War 2 we didn't truly learn and still fight wars over racism, nationalism and other reasons that keep us from uniting.

How we managed to ruin the earth to a severe degree in just 50 years or so.

And video games.

And The Flintstones.

I mean, we've been doing that for thousands of years. I feel like it would be more unexpected if we stopped.

True.

Just feels that after the deadliest conflict in history we would have learned so as not to repeat that insanity. But we didn't.

To be fair you’d have thought that after WW1 as well and then we literally just did it again

Insufferable.
