      Because babies aren’t racist, sexist, etc. We’re not perfect, and we get some weird ideas as we go through life, but in general I think most people are generally just trying to get by and do their best.

      But also yeah sometimes you have to do a violence or whatever.

      Maternal instincts, the lived experience of kindness between friends and neighbors, and the last 10,000 years of gradual but undeniable improvements in social equity could argue this point.

      I might also argue that humans are fundamentally good, but still highly mutable. So a few bad apples really can spoil the bunch.
