You seem to be still stuck in an "end of history" mindset, unfortunately.

Had to look that up:

"The end of history is a political and philosophical concept that supposes that a particular political, economic, or social system may develop that would constitute the end-point of humanity's sociocultural evolution and the final form of human government."

So are you implying that I should start treating every foreigner as an enemy just because we as a humanity didn't, and maybe will never come up with a political system that will bring peace on Earth once and for all?

Allright then, I'll still regard most of you at least as non-enemies, if you so object being friends with me;

but you are free to continue considering me your enemy if your current political fartwinds turn your wind vane that way.

  • Every foreigner? Hell no. There's more to the world than Europe, you know. We're not in active conflict with Laos or Chile.

    The nations who quite officially see me as not really human, with widespread popular support? As much as I want it to be different, yes.

    I mean, conflict is an inherent part of life. It's possible to hate the fact it happens, yet not ignore its existence.
