was just going to post that, it's a bit worrisome isn't it?

Worrisome? ALL of alarm bells and whistles is going off. Imagine an armed force, with authority, composed of oath keepers and proud boys - sig heil’ing DeSantis… Cause thats the gestapo I see.

I've always wondered why didn't the Germans feed and house the Jewish people adequately while forcing them to make weapons and supplies for the German military. They would have had a HUGE head start at the onset of the war. If you look at why we won the war, one of the determining factors was we had a huge force of women working behind the scenes. At factories putting together supplies and making weapons for our troops overseas.

I've read what you said 3 times and don't understand it, my apologies.

Humans are basically good, but they are weak as individuals and easily misled unless they are equipped with education and exposure to different ideas and cultures. The end result is an inward-looking fear of the world, hatred of self, superstition, and darkness.

But that isn't where anyone starts out as a child. Curiosity, empathy, natural sense of fairness, etc.

Good environment = good people. Skinner nailed the concept 50+ years ago.

Yea. Religion immediately comes to mind. I've met so many religious people who had never been out of America tell me that their religion is the right one. The reason I got out of Christianity was because of my exposure to Asian culture while living in Thailand, Cambodia and South Korea. Exposure to other ideas, culture, and education is why many people end up leaving their religion.
