There's a Fairly Odd Parents episode where Timmy wishes for this, and his asshole neighbors still found themselves to be the best of the grey blobs

We were all the same colour. Then some of us left Africa and became weirdly translucent because we needed more sun.

We’d eventually all be the same color again if there were no racism.

We'd eventually all be the same color again if there were too much racism. We gotta cut that shit out.

Yeah, we’re pretty dumb. God is probably screaming at the screen “ you’re all… fucking… the same!”

You think it's about the color? Conservatives will find another thing to feel better about

[–] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You mean people in general, I see so many dividing lines that people are willing too enforce and they're not conservative in any sense of the word.

[–] maniel@sopuli.xyz 7 points 5 days ago

Of course not all people who make up things for themselves to feel better about are conservatives, but it's basically what conservatism is all about, be it national, religious, race or gender based

new race wars spring up over attached/detached earlobes, innie/outie belly buttons, and toe length ratios

People with the same skin color and almost indistinguishable physical features have hated and murdered each other since the dawn of time. Look at the millennia of warfare, hate butchery, and slavery in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, pretty much everywhere.

Usually people have conflicts with their neighbors, not people from the other side of the globe.

And they will find another trait. Is not like it's the only one now... Making them less prone to populism would be a treat, but I have more no idea which implications that would have

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

Then we will murder based on ethnicity or religion... again.

I mean, we definitely DID start out all the same color in the beginning, sooooooo...

I see a lot of dividing lines that people are prepared to enforce, and they aren't conservative in the traditional meaning of the word. You mean people in general? Block Blast
