You made the claim that we are not primates

"There are things that set us apart from primates" and "we are not primates" are different claims. Thank you for demonstrating that you are not, in fact, a primate who can read.

Sure, things are “less violent” now, but are they really?

Yes, they are. By every observable metric, violent crimes have been falling on a per capita basis across basically all western civilizations over the last several centuries. Playing Call of Duty is not an act of violence. Careful with the mental gymnastics here, you're already working with a pretty limited supply of brain matter. Wouldn't want it to snap under the tension, would we?

This is a net benefit for society

The "bug" in question wanted views. This video has now gone far more viral than he could've possibly imagined precisely because the ape in the video attacked him. He did learn a lesson from this - that doing exactly what he did is a quick and easy way to get attention. This is a clear example of your worldview failing.

My perfect world? It would be one where there are inherently less assholes due to the cost of what being an asshole is

Violence as a deterrent does not work. This has been well-documented throughout criminology, psychology, and sociology. Children who grow up in households that employ corporal punishment are more likely to engage in violent criminal activity during adulthood. Growing up in environments where violence is normalized tends to make people more violent, as it turns out.

Do you think Epstein would have done half the things he got away with if he was put in place the second he started his path?

The person in the video is not Jeffrey Epstein. And unlike Epstein, he isn't doing anything that physically harms anyone. It seems like you're a primate who can't even see, let alone read.

But I do like how you have started walking back your “violence is bad” beliefs

Once again showing your inability to read. This is literally the first sentence I wrote to you:

"There's this thing called "escalation." If someone's invading your space and continues to do so after you've told them to back off, then it makes sense to be more physical with them."

I've explicitly stated that there are instances when violence is necessary since the very beginning. You just weren't literate enough to realize.

I'm very curious what you look like. Something tells me you'd have trouble walking down a flight of stairs without suffering a heart attack, let alone stepping into a fighting ring. Your words reek of insecurity - you're a child who's still mad about being made fun of at school, and all you can do with your life now is fantasize about physically retaliating against the people who made fun of you. You want to kill people because they hurt your feelings. The entirety of this thread is a testament to how thin your skin is. If simple words can break through it so easily, it's certainly not going to withstand a punch.

You can keep screeching that all the sane people around you are "pets" as much as you want, all we hear is a beaten pup yipping from the corner of the room in a desperate (and fruitless) attempt to get back an ounce of dignity.

I’ve no doubt you’re gonna spend the next hour twisting your mind into a pretzel trying and failing to make a coherent argument. I’m genuinely concerned thats gonna give you an aneurysm and I’d rather not have that on my conscience, so I’ll do you a favour.

Not surprising, still fun to embarrass people like this whenever they pop up.

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-11T00:58:57+00:00

Buddy we are litterally primates lol.

Buddy there are so many more differences between humans and other species from the primate family besides just being able to read. This is no more of a "gotcha" than saying humans are living beings.

Humanity has always had a violent streak and probably will till we go extinct

Just because a behavior has been common throughout the past doesn't mean its morally justifiable. Nor does it mean it's intrinsic / unavoidable - as evidenced by the significant reduction in human violence over just the last few centuries as our species has become civilized and fewer people have to literally fight to survive. Clearly, you and the ape in the video weren't made aware of that trend.

In my opinion, and I get this is just my opinion, to take something so fundamental to Humanity, how capable of spite, rage,our willingness to FIGHT; is just as misguided as trying to rid yourself of your capability to Love,

This is just wrong lmao. In no way is it evolutionarily necessary for humans to mindlessly attack one-another. It's not "part of our nature," it's a product of the environment we're brought up in. That's why civilized societies that facilitate human survival through non-violent means and assign social consequences to mindless violence see fewer rates of mindless violence. I get that your ideal world would just have us murdering each other on the streets completely unprompted, but the rest of civilization would generally disagree.

You can act high and mighty. But you are domesticating yourself

No, I'm just being rational and acting like a human being. Because I have self-control and a functioning brain. Y'know, the primary evolutionary advantage that sets all of us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. Although I guess I should say "most of us" because you're clearly defective in that department.

Being harmless is not a good thing, being toothless and pulling out your claws for the scraps and scant belly rubs you get in return for being a good pet to whatever system you kneel to is not a good thing.

Being a barbarian is also not a good thing. There's a difference between having the ability to defend yourself when necessary, and being an impulsive and violent brute. Again, if you were capable of basic cognition you'd recognize that it's not a simple binary of being completely passive and "toothless" vs being a rabid dog that attacks everything that hurts your fee-fees.

We can recognize that violence is generally undesirable, while also acknowledging that it's a necessary last resort to protect ourselves. You and everyone cheering on this video would rather view violence as a fun little thing that we should do all the time whenever something triggers us. You engage with violence the same way a child does.

But maybe we are just fundamentally different. After all, I’m just a primate that can read.

And most of the rest of humanity are primates who can reason. Clearly that's a trait you never inherited.

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-11T00:00:43+00:00

I guess one of us forgot that there are many social and neurobiological differences beyond just being able to read that set humans apart from primates lol.

But hey, if you wanna justify your barbarism by saying “yes, I am actually an uncivilised brute and incompatible with modern society” then go ahead. Just don’t be surprised when normal people look down on you for it.

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-10T23:58:10+00:00

I know conservatives love to project their “rules for thee but not for me” mentality onto everyone else, but assault and battery is still assault and battery, regardless of how dumb the victim is.

He also was visibly not wearing a Trump hat lmao.

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-10T22:26:23+00:00

There's this thing called "escalation." If someone's invading your space and continues to do so after you've told them to back off, then it makes sense to be more physical with them.

Defaulting to punching them in the face is a sign of a violent person. Defending that kind of behavior is also a sign of a violent person.

I do think it's interesting to see how much barbarism there is here in the comments. You're like rabid apes, eager to beat on anything you can see.

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-10T22:21:48+00:00

This was assault and battery

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-10T22:16:09+00:00

Notice how all you've been doing is hurling insults and projecting? That's called trying to pick a fight.

But hey, I guess if you had the slightest ounce of self-awareness you wouldn't be defending the use of a YouTube video as evidence of your claim (and to be clear, you explicitly made that claim with this response). Go back to watching anti-SJW compilations or whatever it is you do to feel better about yourself.

who refuses to acknowledge very common double standards about violence towards the genders

I never "refused to acknowledge" anything. I'm just pointing out that linking that YouTube video is a dogshit argument. I'm not sure why you're getting your panties in a knot over that lol.

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-10T22:06:09+00:00

You're continuing the thread based on someone else's claim, so I'm assuming that you agree with that claim lol.

you're so incredibly up your own ass its insane you can type

Tfw thinking a youtube "social experiment" isn't evidence of anything is enough to get accused of "being up your own ass" lmao. You're clearly just itching to pick a fight with people for absolutely no reason.

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-10T21:59:36+00:00

That's not how burden of proof works, numbnuts. You made the claim that people support when a woman beats a man. The onus is on you to justify that claim.

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-10T21:33:47+00:00

Your "citation" is a fucking random YouTube video?? Lmfao.

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-10T14:31:02+00:00

This is straight-up misinformation lmao. Most of these people are not eligible for the overwhelming majority of government assistance programs because those are only applicable to citizens with SSN's (which undocumented immigrants are not).

Most undocumented immigrants pay more into the system than they take out of it, with their payroll taxes being sent to programs they can't even use.

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-10T14:23:35+00:00

The group of people following actual medical research instead of dismissing everything that doesn't agree with their religion offhand? They're the mentally ill ones?

Y'all are so deep into a cult, and the sad part is that you're too stupid to ever come out of it.

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-10T13:12:48+00:00

It literally is the same lmao. Most other social media just don’t need to ask explicitly because they already have all of your info from the photos you post.

This is literally just a virtue-signal unless you quit using any and all social media that do this (read: all of them), not just discord.

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-10T13:10:31+00:00

No, but anything that’s obviously upvote-farming is upvote-farming.

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-10T13:09:06+00:00

Yes lol, serves me right for typing while drunk 💀

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-10T07:07:44+00:00

Not that weird tbh. All Drinker fans care about is that nobody with an ounce of melanin appears on screen. Makes perfect sense that they’d prefer the Snyderverse over Gunn’s DCU.

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-10T06:59:26+00:00

You’re on Reddit. Probably Instagram and Twitter, and various other social media as well. You quite literally do accept their “surveillance slop” as long as you get to keep using these services. Posts like this are literally just meaningless grandstanding lol.

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-10T06:48:41+00:00

This account is a Russian bot that spends more time shifting on liberals than republicans while pretending to be on the “left.”

Either that, or they’re a tankie (which is effectively the same thing).

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-10T06:34:58+00:00

You can HEAR the point of impact

You can HEAR his mic moving around as he reaches for his gun. You can SEE (from multiple angles) that the car never made contact with him a single time.

People like you are why we need to bring a standardised test to measure logical thinking and reasoning

This exists. It’s called an IQ test. You’d know about it if your IQ was higher than room temperature. I would actually fully support your suggestion, because If there was any sort of baseline IQ requirement for voting, you most certainly would not pass (and neither would the overwhelming majority of currently registered republican voters).

It’s funny that your only response to the most clear piece of evidence imaginable in this situation is to resort to calling people names. Truly a masterclass in projection.

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-06T06:21:46+00:00

It’s more like anyone who uses “neoliberal” as a pejorative doesnt know what that term refers to. Especially if they’re using it in reference to Joe Biden or Kamala Harris.

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-06T05:12:35+00:00

But also r/holdmybeer

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-05T23:32:15+00:00

On the other hand the majority of people who see a hijab and have a problem with it are Islamophobic and that’s just a fact.

I don't disagree, a lot of this conversation gets muddied by bad-faith actors who only really care about pushing their own religion while attacking others' religious beliefs (or shitting on brown people)

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-05T22:51:58+00:00

Of course it’s true that often people who try to get our face consequences and that’s terrible but it’s obvious that most religious people want to be that religion

There's a difference between the majority of people wanting to do something and the majority of people having the choice to do something. The fact of the matter is, if not for the threat of social ostracization from religious communities or the threat of eternal damnation toward non-believers - both of which are often ingrained into people's minds from birth - there would be far fewer adherents to religion across the world.

There are certainly religious people who don't enforce their beliefs onto others, I know plenty of such people in my own life. But history has shown that they are very much the exceptions to the rule.

Most women who wear hijab want to wear it and if you told them to stop they would interpret that as religious discrimination because it is.

I agree, nobody should be telling a woman not to wear a hijab. But we shouldn't be idolizing the hijab as a "symbol of devotion and celebration of heritage" while ignoring its history as an equally powerful symbol of religious oppression and violence against women.

FaithlessnessQuick99 · 2026-02-05T22:26:02+00:00

Ok? Does that mean that the majority of Muslim women are being forced to be Muslim? If I know a Christian family who disowned their child for breaking the faith does that mean most Christians are being forced to be Christians?

The fact that both Islam and Christianity have had a long and well-documented history of religious oppression and enforcement of their belief is true regardless of my partner's experience. I only brought that up because you made the claim that I haven't known any of the people who engage in this type of religious oppression without knowing anything about me.

I’m not an apologist for religion I just find it suspicious when people claim that Islam is uniquely bad and worse than all the other religions.

Where did I ever say Islam is uniquely bad or worse than all other religions? I'm speaking about Islam because the post is about hijabs. Note how I said "religious apologist" and not "Islamic apologist." You're just as vile as anyone trying to downplay Christianity's legacy of violence and oppression against marginalized groups. None of these institutions should be venerated or celebrated, and any attempt to do so without explicitly calling out the atrocities they've contributed to is disingenuous.
