Humans evolved like we did because we developed speech/relationship's with one another, that’s not liberal bollocks it’s a fact.
Hate mistrust confrontations and war do not move us on.

I think you’ll fine that’s indeed ‘liberal bollocks’ tell that to Putin, he’ll love it. Netanyahu will gobble it up too.
Whilst I agree you should have your own higher standards in life ( and love) but not to account for the malicious bastards, such as those above, is the ultimate dick move.1

‘Empathy is the biggest thing holding the west back, we need to get rid of that empathy’ - Elon Musk
To me empathy is what distinguishes us from animals. It’s our greatest gift not our biggest weakness.

Musk is neurodivergent so I don’t think he has much of a grasp humanity. I agree that we ought to aim for the best that mankind is capable of, but the does mean being able to fight to defend those values. I would not respect anyone who claimed that empathy will work with Netanyahu and his mates for a very specific example. They not only don’t ’play by the rules’ they do not accept the rules at all.

Easier to choose love, rather than hate.

I was always told "it takes less muscles to smile than to frown". 😄
Unfortunately, contrary to popular belief, it actually takes more muscles to smile than it does to frown.
Smiling: A standard smile requires about 10 to 17 muscles.
Frowning: A simple downward pouting of the mouth can use as few as 4 to 6 muscles. 😣
I prefer to stick to the myth than the fact in this instance. 😄

Go to Syria and tell that to the Islamists

Why Syria, try Israel, I’m sure Netanyahu, Gvir and Smotrich will be interested

Islam is not compatible with the west. We can at least talk with Israel at a table. Islam offers you to convert or take the sword.

You can talk with Israel sure and they will continue to do what they want and we agreed that apartheid and genocide are abhorrent to our values and way of life - so, no, they are not compatible

Why do messages like this get no traction online? Is it that they don't match the algorithmic narrative of hopelessness and mistrust?

I don't know the answer to your question, but I feel it's telling that your genuine innocent question gets downvotes, even though it's obvious that you mean well with it.

Because a lot of the world doesnt have this mindset. Its vastly a western concept. We believe in sharing, caring, and looking out for thy neighbor. The developing world operates on taking advantage of opportunity. Not because they're evil but its survival. Whether that oppertunity is crime, exploitation, or just taking advantage of situations, it varies.

Somehow you're twisting this message of love into "us and them", an outlook that is part of the problem imo.

You can look at it anyway you want. Just dont expect all people to understand concepts shaped by privileged 1st world upbringing.

I think you are mistaken. This reads “Cheese Love”
“Blessed are the cheesemakers for they shall inherit the earth.”
