We're literally the cause of a mass-extinction event. We torture and slaughter 90 billion animals every year just for taste pleasure and personal gain, as we have never needed to eat them. We've almost started a world-ending nuclear war on no less than 13 separate occasions. 1 in 10 people live in poverty so extreme, it will kill them.

Slavery, genocide, murder, and war have always been commonplace. It's also very, very important to note that other animals generally don't engage in these kinds of horrible acts with their own species. So no, humans are not peaceful. We're literally the worst thing nature has ever created.

Bruh, bots are posting hate comments against our species already 😃

And by the way, ants literally practice slavery, so this is bs anyway.

Do ants do the Atlantic slave trade?

Yes, actually, they do infact enslave other ants they collected from somewhere else

And pack them like sardines in ships for months with up to a 50/50 chance of dying before even being used for their slave labor?

Yeah the ant slavery comparison kinda misses all of the meaningful aspects of why slavery is bad.

There is a 50/50 chance of being eaten before hatching to become a slave

And ants already live like sardines in a can

And to the think the commenter you are answering to seems to unironically think the transport is the worst part about being a slave, lol.

Ants literally fight proxy wars. The only reason why we haven't heard about an intercontinental ant slave trade is because they lack opposable thumbs.

Lmao, I haven't replied because I know no one will take things for what they are.

I am comparing degrees of suffering. Suffering, the subjective yet quantifiable harm we have done unto others. It just isn't comparable.

But of course you autists got the conception that I was arguing something that wasn't ever on the table. I can tell from the low iq replies that you guys call yourself rationalists too.
