  1.  @montylc2001  - Ya, after things like Unit 731 in Japan and their genocidal campaign in China, it is kind of crazy how some people just need the US to be the big bad. After the movie Oppenheimer was released in China, they were annoyed because it didn’t show the US actually using the bomb on Japan. That is how much they hate the Japanese for what they did, at the time they wanted us to drop even more nukes and in the modern day they wanted to see it recreated in movies. That is how brutal Japan was to China. It is very trendy right now to be anti-West and anti-US specifically. That is how you get knuckle dragging people to march for a group like Gaza. They automatically side with the “oppressed” people, which to them just means the weaker people. So many young Westerners cannot form a critical thought if it would save their lives

  2. No. It was part of it but the atomic bombs were a bigger part. I’m really tired of historical revisionism so people can feel smart

  3. Nope, it saved so many lives on both sides. You need some historical education.

  5.  @davegaetano7118  - That is your subjective opinion. Read “The Moral Landscape”, it is written by a neuroscientist and it covers morals without a philosophical approach, and it is just as good as any philosophy I have seen. Do you see how you are just repeating the “God of the gaps” argument but for philosophy? Now that philosophy has retreated from much of world because of the empirical sciences, it is taking up its last stronghold in completely subjective phenomena like “morals” because it cannot be proven wrong or obsolete so easily in such a gray area. It is an attempt to stay relevant despite losing relevancy a long time ago. Soon enough we will even have algorithms and models which will handle ethics and morals as well depending on the assumptions or end goals you have. Philosophy will then be relegated from that area. I wonder where philosophers will try to make their last stand then?
