Sure it does. You just have to realize that humans aren’t as smart as they pretend. I’d even wager a rather large selection of animals are smarter than certain sects of humanity…
I love that this comment, trying to say that animals are not as bad as people think, manages to:
imply that humans are, apart from exceptions, universally smarter than all other species (funny, because there aren’t that many species that have such a dysfunctional society and interactions, as well as self-predatory behaviours)
imply that sects are stupid, even though they are literally manipulation machines targeted at vulnerable people.
Look up the definition of ‘sect’. It is not what you think it is.
I didn’t say cult. I didn’t say religion. I did not say culture. I did not say region. I did not say country.
I said sect.
You cannot deny that smart people are very, very, very different than the morons I’m obviously referencing.
Most scientists do not condone war or slavery. Most people that are capable of technical knowledge tend to be peaceful leaning.
Yes, people who easily fall for brainwashing do tend to be dumber than average!
It’s almost like you both want to be misanthopic and defend humanity at the same time… Fucking pick a lane, or agree with me that there exists, literally and demonstrably, stupid sects of humanity.
I looks like you’re using sect to just mean a generic group of people, while the other dude is going by the dictionary definiton that implies religious or philosophical ideology as the basis for the group.
that’s… what? other than like… tigers most animals have highly complicated social structures
even bees and ants have complicated social structures that “they’re enslaving eachother” is an incredibly reductive human-centric view of how a eusocial colony works.

Wowza.

Yea, and the general one is completely fine. I said ‘sect’ and not ‘religion’ for a fucking reason.
You also told the other user to look it up in the dictionary, while not using the dictionary’s definition of the word yourself.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sect
Look. Look at definition 3. It IS in the dictionary.
Just because you think words have one meaning doesn’t mean all words have one meaning.
Also the first sentence of wikipedia:
Where in any of those definitions does it describe a sect as a “manipulation machine”?
Holy fuck, did any of you damn children take any sociology classes?? This is fucking middleschool knowledge…
The religious part. Which you clearly already knew, since you pointed out that isn’t what you meant. 🤦♂️
Again, the definition I meant IS in the dictionary.
I’m fine with clarifying, but this jouvenile obstinance to learning a new meaning of a word is just pathetic.
Most of them are smart enough to not enslave or murder their own species either.
Isn’t that pretty much all bees and ants do though?
Also most of them just live alone until it’s time to fuck, which is often an ambush, then maybe look after the baby for a bit.
