    I think ancient evil very much does exist. But it’s the same as modern evil. I figure it must exist, and it’s the presence of this evil that has caused such a fucked up society to emerge.

    In other words, this is not the golden age of mankind; quite the opposite I’m afraid… 😝

      It’s almost like modern United States were built on an ancient Indian burial ground…

        Oof.

        And from the ashes of Roman imperialism, no less. And, by the way, that is the only thing imperialism brings - ashes…

        Literally. The Mayflower settlers moved into a town that had recently been wiped out by disease. People were still mourning in nearby communities when they just walzed in.

      Evil - a human competitive thing where we as individuals or as groups of people strive to out-evil all previous attempts at extreme-evil.

      It’s something that has been flourishing forever, we keep finding new heights.

      We’ve been created for this and are really good at it.
