    Calm down.

    You should look up what ‘platitude’ means then come back.

    If “don’t kill innocent people” is too complicated, then maybe it’s a you problem, not a world problem.

      You don’t offer anything to comprehend. All your comments in this thread boil down to “it’s too complicated, better to do nothing”.

      And that is lazy or stupid or downright evil, but not the “aloof” take you might think it is. It’s intellectual capitulation.
