moral reasons are always fake reasons
Not always.
yes, always
Sometimes the slave kills the slavemaster.
they are tools developed in an ideological arms race
That's not a fake reason.
Or vise versa.
no, when they claim that something is right or wrong
Some people have real historical grievances.
or that whatever action is justified
they are simply arguing
in a fake world
of rhetoric
that people take seriously
But then again, if you go back far enough in history, every human has a grudge against each other.
for some reason
that's what i'm saying
So should we all kill each other over historical grievances?
take a completely different example to understand this
south korea has a "grudge" against japan for treatment in ww2
I understand.
they will keep using that "grudge" as long as they think it will get them something
no matter what japan does
Any human can do this at any time.
There is nothing special about this.
Your children will do this to you.
yup

yes, but we have something called a brain.
so?
we have feelings
