That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

it's like watching two children fighting over who's sandcastles can be built in the sandbox
Welcome to war.
And what do we do if children can't learn to share? You take away everything and no one is happy.
So is that what this is going to come to? Do adults need to intervene to quell the infants?
That would be nice... only there are no adults.
PS: any adults ๐ฝ out there... whenever you're ready, we welcome you ๐ธ
Yep. OP is wanting other children to take things away from the children. I wonder how that'd turn out. Definitely not with just more children fighting over the sandbox, right?
I was thinking of a nuke on the USA
About 70 years ago European leaders decided the best thing to do with the Jewish people was give them their own country...
So they picked the holy land of three main religions, kicked out everyone that had been living there for centuries and made it a religious ethnostate.
Surprisingly the people who lived there weren't happy to be victims of an ethnic cleansing.
Picking virtually any other place on the globe and it probably would have worked itself out by now.
Cynics think that was intentionally. It's the perfect lightning rod for attacks against "the west" and the hostility leads to plenty of proxy wars while avoiding actual war in Europe again after WW2
It started even earlier, after the ottoman empire fell/dissolved, British and French diplomats basically drew lines on a map Scramble for Africa style and created new countries out of nothing.
That created tons of tension already.
Yeah, they broke up Africe with no regard to how many distinct cultures there was.
They looked at that giant ancient landmass and legitimately went "they're all Black, it doesn't matter".
