    People are vicious and have been so for as long as we’ve been around. Your country does/did the same stuff, or would have if it could.

      Human nature is malleable, and depends on the material conditions we find ourselves in. People are not inherently vicious, though we all have the capacity to be.

      crimes committed by people around me are completely the same as the hypothetical crimes people around you would’ve committed if we lived in a different reality, so you shouldn’t criticise me and hurt my feelings. Also, don’t ask why my people are still committing war crimes. Its all justified.

      You people can’t be serious

      No, and if hypothetically your false assumption was correct and my country did something similar then i would distance myself from it
