    The arabs and the jews hate each other. The blacks and the whites hate each other. The japanese hate all outsiders. The russians just hate. Just everybody.

    Then there’s the religious wars. The land expansion wars. The “fuck you for shooting my pig” war. (No really, that happened. Although my description is a bit…oversimplified.)

    You got all these wars, all these murders, all this hate. Now the shootings are happening from kids at school. Hate from pre-puberty until you reach your casket. However fast that may be.

    And who does the capybara hate? Nobody. Capybara doesn’t give a shit. Don’t bring your BS hate around capybara. Capybarais gonna chill with some ducks, or some cats, or some cows. Whoever, man! Capybara does not give a FUCK. He’s just here to chill, and you can chill too, or you can get the fuck out. Capybara brings the chill, and humans should learn from that.

    If you ever find yourself about to kill another person, for any reason besides LEGITIMATE self-defense, then you’re an asshole.

    Unless they’re a billionaire. Pretty sure all of them have it coming for the misery they willfully inflict on others for profit.

      We don’t hate Jews. We are reacting to violent settler-colonialism done in the name of Judaism. When Israel conflates Zionism with Judaism you can’t expect Palestinians or the rest of the Arab and Muslim world to be nuanced.

      If you read the writings of Jabotinsky and other Zionist founders, they knew very well how Palestinians would react to settler-colonialism and expulsion. No different than the Zulu, Lakota, Papuans and other indigenous people who fought the invaders.

        I think the general idea he’s getting at, in short, is basically that, even though so many arabs and jews seem so very consumed with hatred for each other. Likewise for many blacks and whites. (Oh, and by the way, meanwhile, for all their charms, many Japanese people have a tendency to hate those from outside Japan.) Or consider further the russians, whose very souls are consumed by just hatred for the Arabs, Jews, Whites, Blacks, Japanese, all of them and then some. Basically everybody. That’s a whole lot of hatred even before you turn your mind to the consideration of the innumerable religious wars fought the world over. Its constant wars over land expansion disagreements. Its, “Hey, buddy, how about fuck YOU for gunning down my prized pig, asshole!?”-type wars, which is actually a real example OP plucked from the annals of history, believe it or not, though OP did admittedly simplify to just the broad strokes of the matter. I think the gist of what OP is conveying is very simply this: our planet is seemingly overflowing with all these wars, all these murders, all this hate deep in our hearts and souls and minds. To the point that we’re beginning to see a glut of shootings happening at schools, of all places, once known as places of learning for future generations of minds. And these shootings are conducted not even by hateful adult Russians (with a notable exception or two), but by literal minor children who’ve yet to reach the legal age of adulthood. That creates an impression that, in this crazy world, we are experiencing hatred practically from the womb, or at least birth, all the way through childhood and into pre-puberty, continuing without stopping straight on into your puberty years, your young adulthood, middle age, your so-called golden years, only arguably stopping when your lifeless body is crudely fitted with an ol’ pine overcoat, at whatever age that may happen to be relevant to you. Here we get to OP’s main point, which is that, if you turn your focus now to capybaras and ask, “Who do you hate?” You’ll find the answer, perhaps much to your surprise, is that they do not hate anyone. They really seem not to have a care in the world, if you observe them. To the point that it would probably be a futile gesture to attempt to bring a spirit of hatred into the presence of these guileless and benevolent creatures. They wouldn’t know what to do with it. They have no concept of it. Why would you do this? Most likely, the maximum rise you’re going to get out of a typical capybara is that it might decide to go hang out with its friends, which include ducks, cats, cows, and anybody else. They’re just ultimately not that persnickety when it comes to socialization preferences, since they are really just wanting to find a nice spot to relax and unwind, ultimately, and they hope you’ll join them, unless you have hatred in your being, in which case, see above where I talk about their views on that. They’re not fans, in short, if you don’t want to go back to read about it again. OP seems to be suggesting, and I’m probably inclined to agree generally, that every human living on this dawned beautiful blue marble might be able to glean lessons from the way the capybara conducts itself, if we were capable of humbling ourselves sufficiently. Also if you ever find yourself about to kill another person, for any reason besides LEGITIMATE self-defense, then you’re an asshole. Unless they’re a billionaire. OP is pretty sure all of them have it coming for the misery they willfully inflict on others for profit.

      Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but those capybaras do eventually get vored by those crocodiles. Thing is crocodiles only have to eat like once every two weeks, but them lazing around in the between period doesn’t make for exciting footage.

        It’s actually quite rare for crocodiles to eat capybaras, they have a mutually beneficial relationship. The primary predator of the capybara is the jaguar.
