We all live in happy harmony

I was there.
 

I'm legitimately stunned, there are names on there that I held in high esteem (or at least seemed like cool people).

Nooooo Kot
Polen needed you
Who will shitpost for Polen now?

[Flying Dice]

...when you put it this way, I must say that I have not once seen a homeless woman in my life, while seeing shitloads upon shitloads of homeless men.
Huh... I don't think that's some kind of privilege thing though, it's just that the men in Poland are more likely to fall into alcoholism and so on.

Dunno how it is over there, but in the states that's in no small part because men are disproportionately convicted and sentenced in court and compose a strong majority of veterans -- ex-cons and vets are two groups especially at-risk for becoming homeless and/or turning to crime, because of the lack of job availability, poor/no treatment for mental illness, &c. Purely anecdotal, but I see a lot of homeless folks in the course of my work, and virtually all of them are men. The biggest single factor is untreated mental illness, of course.

In fact, according to stats published by the National Coalition for the Homeless, ~51% are single males (as opposed to ~24% single females) and about 30% have persistent mental illnesses.

Doz. The point of that is that the idea of white/male privilege is often treated as a universal constant. It's part of the continual cycle of divisive propaganda trying to convince people to treat each other as enemies instead of people.

No, it's just that the wrong people have been treated as enemies. When the right group of people has become the target, then things will be good and equal! [/sarcasm]

This is why the world needs an Independence Day or The Salvation War scenario. Either the human race dies or we unite as one people. It's a win-win.

Uh... I'm curious how death means everyone wins.

[Loud Whispers]

Nah, all we need is a multitude of Alexanders and Temujins. History is of the cycle of people uniting, disuniting, reuniting, disintegrating, regrowing, extincting, replacing, rebirthing and so on

The aliens and/or divine beings [win], or the humans [win].
[win]-[win]
See? Perfectly logical.

Then have the various groups led by Genghis Alexujin fight each other? That's just continuing what we're doing now.

I think humanity as a whole would let Earth be glassed, Halo-style, before we ever set aside our differences.

And then the glass blowers [win]. Again, logic.

Not as bad as my biology teacher. Apparently women don't need men. Plenty if stored sperm to go around.

Exactly, and each time civilization advances, each time lines of communication allow the reunification efforts to spread longer and last longer until the next Genghis Alexujins arrive

Look at Alexander, when he died what was his issue? His Greek veterans wanted to go home, moreover he had no way of controlling all of his distant lands. Same problem faced by his successors. That he didn't appoint a successor is also hilarious, they asked him who should succeed him and alexander was just all "to the stronkest" like a dickhead
Same issue with Genghis, lines of communication breakdown for his successors
Now? No issue for lines of communication. A world-conquering entity would only be as troubled as its popularity amongst its powerbase
