      I feel strongly one of the more probable solutions to the fermi paradox is simply that we have a sizeable number of people in our species who still take pride and joy in the idea of taking lives, under any context.

      No, we’re not allowed out there. No, we can’t have good things.

      Raise your kids better you asshats.

        IDK, earth nature is pretty gruesome (and it’s not just mammals or even just vertebraes). Doesn’t seem super probable that such a big precentage of space-faring alien species are so peaceful that they’d think that this is too far.

          The point is, if there are advanced species out there that can actively observe us, that means they are likely millions of years ahead of us, and our animalistic ways are barely a step above monkeys throwing rocks at each other and our disregard for life proves it. It would be like humans inviting a particularly successful colony of ants into the United Nations.

          It’s a funny thought experiment, but I don’t think there’s anything in space watching us either way.

      Wouldn’t that be four confirmed kills by Republican standards?

          No, they apply to everyone except white republicans. Their abortions are obviously justified and ordained by God (or something).
          See, white right-wingers are the “in group” to to the white right wingers (the predominant people & people in power of the American republicans).
          Everyone else is sent by the devil, or taking jobs, or freeloading on benefits. So anything they do is wrong
