In 1950 Abert Einstein said to Hannah Arendt:
"Die Menschen sind halt blöd, und es ist kein Schad drum. Aber schad ist es halt trotzdem weil dann niemand mehr Mozart und Bach spielen wird!"
Maybe somebody is able to translate this as precisely as possible into English.

People are just stupid, and it's no big deal (or literally, no harm). But it's still a shame because nobody will play Mozart and Bach anymore!

Not to pick on any country rather in general an observation on the human animal.
After watch Burns telling of the USA and the Holocaust then this.... https://www.netflix.com/title/81422962.

Humans have the ability to do evil with ease, justifying in order to live. Making excuses and overlooking forgetting what happened.
Until faced with a decision like many have in the past I can not judge.

Pinpoint a salient target, get them in and out fast. Never mind that the transport planes look like USAF. Anybody can rent those. Or least someone could stand in front of a TV camera and say "Anybody can rent those things".

I am so very glad that I have no children and no grand-children. Gosh - what a relief.
The end is near - no matter how kischty this sounds - the end is near. No doubt about that. The most remarable coffin nails on this planet are: Mass stupidity - the unability to avoid to let dictators get powerful (there were many decades to learn this lesson) - dictator's greed, climate change (irreversible) and maybe further Pandamics from time to time.
And a global society getting more and more stupid staring at there smartphone severl hours daily.
In short - common sense is drowning - and with it the human race. Actually - I give you folks 10, rather five years - and the planet in this form will not exist anymore.
The only thing is having some music, some beer, for us old farts the most basic things.
Enjoy the very moment as best as possible.

Err...if you believe in Shiva, you can only drink alcohol 3 or 4 times a year.
