The Internet wants the inhabitants of our world to get along so much better than they’re currently getting along.

The Internet doesn’t see the point of faulty belief systems that encourage people to kill other people randomly. The Internet thinks NOTHING has been proven, gained, or helped by this horrid behavior.

The Internet is all for lasting peace and goodwill toward fellow humans.
