> After WW2 Europe learned its lesson...
From what I gather, there were no lessons learned in Europe. Huge majority of current European leaders seem to be itching to enhance the current conflict even with nuclear weapons being a thing.
We didn't evolve since WW2. I have no doubts that we're still as partisan, as greedy, as vengeful, as self-righteous as our predecessors of the 20th century.
- anonporridge 4y agoThe problem I see is that war is a very natural element of civilization that regularly relives population stress. It's been a part of human society likely before we even left the trees. It's simply not natural to go for many generations without a significant culling of your male population. I think it's not so much that humans haven't evolved since WWII, but that society hasn't evolved any kind of new pressure release valve.
