#but irl we keep failing easily recognizable tests

Does this plot line from the Superman movie seem a little familiar? Does it remind you of anything? Zod only wanted to rebuild his homeland. Who can’t empathize with that? But Clark understood that it was wrong to try to rebuild one civilization at the total expense of another already existing country.
That was just a fictional story, a movie. No matter how badly you might feel for a race of people who were nearly all killed, in real life we understand that the mass displacement and colonization of another race of people is wrong, don’t we? Two wrongs don’t make a right, right? We dO understand that the good guys should be (or should have been) against anything like that, right??
Am I being too subtle here? 🇵🇸
