Reading posts like this makes me utterly depressed and cynical. The moral history of mankind is as fascinating as disgusting.

We never learn. We never improve.

We always forget. We commit again and again the same horrors and crimes. Victims become executioners. Fair people are silenced we hide our heads into the sand.

Socio and Psychopaths rise and prevail.

It's a never ending cycle of injusticies, atrocieties and stupidity, punctuated by ephemeral instances of peace, calm and order

Do you think this is a global thing or does this especially describe the Western/European societies?

The so-called west (ex christianity), islamic and judaic cultures are the best when it comes to genocides, imperialism, widespread outburst of violence, but i fear it's a general recurring human trait.

Sad but probably true.
