It feels more and more like a lot of the things I was taught when I was younger just isn't or aren't real things, like being polite isn't a strict law, people are rude to eachother all the time, all these rules on how to communicate were just fake, the two sided nature of the internet goes to show that humans still have deep animalistic baggage. There's all this talk about how we're the divine species, the greatest people in the world who do good things, but nobody wants to talk about the truth, that we're born into a world where nobody matters, where people die and are born and kill and be killed, etc. A predator is born and a prey dies, on the outside there is no individuality between a cheetah and a deer or whatever, but to them there might be.
Despite that, I think that human society is poisoned with ego and self-importance, ofcourse we think we're the best things on earth despite all our issues and massive conflicts that result in millions of deaths, we haven't improved, we've only scaled things up, we used to do the exact same shit on a much smaller scale, fights between tribes, but now we tribes of millions to fight another tribe of millions. Even then, there's still conflict going on everyday. The first world is trying it's best to put on a facade that humans are greater than they actually are. If there is one thing I will concede is that we have won the world, we have usurped all of it and we have gained a massive amount of intelligence, but with that, there are a lot of people with a very animalistic side, trying their best to hide it. I think that people get to their worst points in life when that animalistic side comes out, and they just don't care anymore.
I want to have hope though, that humans can be truly different, if we have this construct of politeness and decency in the first place, then it's not all for nothing. There would be no reason for us to be wearing clothes, being polite, being appropriate, if we were all genuinely just law-less animals. We're hardcoded with this innate desire for fairness and equality and sometimes, empathy, but I suppose these things can only matter so much on an individual level, things get complicated when they are scaled up to tribes, to communities, to entire countries, if one country wages war on another and you're not for that then sucks to be you I guess.
I would have to ask myself what exactly is my business worrying about the wellbeing of people I hate or do not care about. Is my stance against sexual immorality evil for wanting something distinctly unanimal, to demand social decency? Perhaps it's just spite, but you cannot force every human to be exactly the same, unfortunately. All these different monkeys have their own different ways on how to run things, which is why they have their different tribes and countries and languages and systems. The stance I have may be similar to the stances that others have, but I am no different in the sense that what I believe is just an option in the marketplace of human ideas. I can never get over the distinctly human aspect of "having an opinion", I know that some animals may have varying personalities, but they don't have such a large population structure, I suppose some animals like ants must have something similar but far more primitive, communicating on chemical signals etc.
I suppose I am foolish to expect monotony from human beings, especially when it comes to the internet. A lot of humans are bound to faceitious and completely fake systems of control, comforted under the illusion of safety and the feeling that everything is under control. They operate under ambiguous fears or ways of thinking. It's interesting how in some situations, general morals apply greatly, but they do not in others. People are eager to celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk or call for the assassination of Donald Trump just because they do not like them, but when it comes to them and their family, suddenly these morals of not murdering anyone apply, so most people are just in general very selfish. You see this behaviour in leftists, and I suppose right wingers too, people want free speech but only really for themselves. True free speech is a lot messy, people being able to say things that socially are very taboo, thankfully we're in a point in time where generally advocating for zoophilia or pedophilia would get you outcasted or discriminated by the masses, but all it really takes is some small or niche communities to get subtly close to those topics, e.g "loli" and "strays" etc and then say "it's just drawings" to justify their sick obsessions. There are some people without morals, who only abide by them, when the time is appropriate, when it's for their survival and safety, those people would turn around and make a shit ton of excuses if they were potentially going to get arrested, etc.
It's such a strange thing in general to be in a point in time where people can get threats of violence due to things they said politically, but like I said before, people don't treat morals like they should.
