  1. Although I would have to agree that tribalism and separatism is just something we do. It's a hurdle set all the way into outer space.

    1. @awl I truly disagree. Or at least, if "fear of the other" is deep set in humanity, that doesn't mean it can't be un-learned.

      1. @rarity I didn't say it can't be unlearned, but it's going to take a lot of effort from everyone, and a lot of time to gain said effort from everyone. I'm not arguing genetics here either; I take this deep setting as instinctual advantage (or was when humanity was sprouting from the ground), like the crow's ability to learn and recognise and bring that knowledge to their kin.

        1. @awl Well, that makes it a goal worth fighting for IMO.

          1. @rarity All power to you, I won't say it's a waste. Who knows, we may get there. As long as separatists exist though, there'll be a run for the money.

            1. @awl I mean I'm all for eliminating racists from society. White supremacists want to live apart from people a different color, more power to them, but good luck making a country worth living in when you're isolated from everyone else

                  1. @rarity Separatists there would say it shouldn't be, which is why they're fighting still.

                    1. @awl tfw ethnic cleansing happens but they have one of the raddest flags

                      1. @rarity Plus it really can't spare to be ethnically exclusive because Abkhaz are quite literally a dying breed. We have been for generations, be it attempts to out-breed us, push us to exodus, or just kill. This extreme is what bred those calling for Abkhazia to be exclusive. I for one rather would see more people live there. We were all brothers once. We certainly didn't try to vanquish one another.

                        1. @awl I guess the Soviets are to blame for the climate? Everything I know about the region you told me.

                          1. @rarity I honestly don't know who to blame without pointing out my obvious biased. I'm one of those racist scumbags whose line needs to end.

                            1. @awl is it Muslims

                              Sunday, 15-May-16 02:20:22 UTC from web
                              1. @rarity No. Islam in Abkhazia used to be welcomed with open arms. It should be again.

                                1. @awl then share with me privately if you don't mind, I'm curious.
