    Is there anywhere that wasn’t or isn’t fucked up at some point in history?! Humans are shitty. Ancient humans were even worst (very boring, smelly and short life)

      I think that the roman intervention of Greece, led by Flaminio was totally justified, they did what they had to do. Nothing more, nothing less. Change my mind.

        Yeah, they said “at some point” and the Roman genocide in Carthage might be considered fucked up I guess.

        Didn’t they also colonize the region and over the next several centuries crucify a bunch of people? Pretty sure one of them even became a martyr for what went on to be the most destructive and enduring groups of people for all time.

          I’m not Irish or British, but fow what I know I’d put a bit more blame on UK for the troubles. Don’t invade/colonize a country, don’t get troubles.

            The troubles weren’t just Irish people vs colonial oppressors though, there was a ton of sectarian violence between different Irish groups

              If you mean Catholic Irish vs protestant Irish, it was in the end a byproduct of British occupation anyway

        They had a lot of problems with child abuse. I mean, most countries had, but theirs was somewhat more prominent. One of the less psychotic countries though, I guess.
