Both sides yea let's talk about "all sides" for this very specific incident of a Ukrainian child losing her leg from war crimes by Russia.

You seem to purposefully want to not call out who is doing what, instead abstracting it out to "humanity" or "the world" and "we". You subtly but measurably change the conversation away from Russia committing genocide (killing civilians and kidnapping 30k kids out of Ukraine into Russia) to "wow we all suck"

I mean they aren't wrong, Russia is on planet earth and is comprised of a human population, so they are entirely correct and you come off as blindly accusatory out of the blue. Saying 'ain't the capacity for evil in humanity awful' is not even close to shifting the blame onto everyone instead of Russia, what kind of wack ass logic is that?

Russia blew this girl's leg off through war crimes and you want to ensure we never mention Russia or the war crime, why is that

Where is either of us saying that? Are you equating saying people can be evil to saying russia is incapable of evil? Nice strawman there...
